    For dinner, I sometimes have a lean burger or you could do lean chicken or pork, along with a big plate of either sautéed or roasted veggies. The burgers I make, including the bun and a very light smear of mayo, come to about 350 cals, and then the veggies, if I make them them with very little or no oil, come to about about 200 cals, so that's a nice, big, filling meal for 600 calories or less, leaving me plenty of room for ice cream. :) Yum! I'm a volume eater, too.

    Are you eating enough? What kind of deficit are you running and how much weight are you losing per week?
    I'm at 1400 a day and am working at losing 1pound a week. So far so good, but I am left feeling hungry (not just cravings) quite often.

    You might consider reducing your goal to half a pound per week temporarily to give yourself a few extra calories. Give it a couple of weeks and then go back to a pound.

    For me personally I found making sure I hit my protein goal really helped with satiety at a lower calorie level, but for some people either fiber or fat works for them instead. Good luck!
