Seriously... why am I so hungry?

I don't care really if I lose pounds honestly. I am just trying to eat healthier and make smarter choices since I cannot do cardio.

All carbs. And Bananas, even though fruit and healthy, will make me hungrier after I eat one that I was before I ate it.

Salads with protein, eggs, fish, beans, greek yogurt, beef jerky, almonds, etc are much better for satiety.

Yeah, I don't get much satisfaction out of fruit alone. I find that protein and fiber are the essential ingredients at breakfast for me, so I make a lot of veggie omelets and also find triscuits and hard cheddar cheese to be really satisfying. (Yes, I eat the 6 cracker serving, and then I use a sharp knife or cheese plane to measure out exactly one ounce of the cheese...sliced thin you'd be amazed at how much you get!) Those things keep me full, and then I add a whole grapefruit just because I love them and I find they are really refreshing.

Even the "lean" pockets are too calorically dense to be worth it to me...they don't have a big payoff in taste or satisfaction, either. Go for a big salad with some protein (salmon, chicken, shrimp) and sparing vinaigrette dressing.
