You admire people who are not greedy but sometimes, like my own case, it is just an issue of different scale, or extent.

For example, I think about myself as greedy because I like to eat healthy foods.

But I make no breakfast because I'm not hungry at all when I wake up (so no exercise of will power here)

I make a brunch based on fruit, yogurt and almonds. After that I'm naturally full, I would never dream about eating more. So I deserve no praise for self-control

In the evening I eat lots of vegetables, raw (summertime) or cooked (wintertime). After veggies, there is no much room in the stomach for else. I eat some dark bread, a little cheese and finish up with some sweet stuff, which often includes chocolate. I consider myself greedy because I eat the sweet stuff.

About 20 years ago I would eat more, but my trick was to fill myself up with vegetables and fruit. Also, whole grain cereals are healthy and fill up earlier.

Since satvic food tends to be more digestible, you can eat more of it usually . Of course it can result in excessive weight just the same.
