I find a chocolate whey shake with coconut oil satisfies me for hours and hours. Protein, healthy fats and about 500 or so calories out of my 2000 or so for the day. Good deal!0

Use one of those infuser bottles and add fresh cucumber, ginger, and lemon to your regular water. It helps reduce bloat, keep your GI balanced, and reduce the feeling of hunger. Plus it's not a pill or powder. Just fresh ingredients.
Also ....eat a pickle or a bunch of pickles followed by as large glass of water and wait 15 minutes. If you're still hungry, you've waited out your brain telling you that you're hungry if you actually aren't (and had a snack without adding calories).2 -
Appetite is good. Don't try to mess with it. Water does not suppress your appetite, but you may think you are hungry, but really are thirsty, and water satisfies thirst. If drinking more water just makes you pee a lot, you are not thirsty. So stop that.
If you are eating too little, eat more. If you are eating poorly, eat better. If you miss certain foods, find ways to work them in. If you are exhausted from exercise, reduce frequency/intensity/duration. If you are bored, find something to do. If you are tired, rest, maybe take a nap. If you are sad or upset, find an outlet for those emotions. If you are well fed, rested and happy, any amount of excess appetite is something you just have to accept.7 -
I always go for sugar free jelly, it takes the edge off my sweet tooth and takes away the food cravings. And as an extra bonus is the lack of calories.
I usually make a jelly in the morning at work using the plastic water cups, leave it in the fridge and by the afternoon i have as many cups of jelly to kill that craving as I need.

Do you know which foods you find most satiating? I find fat satiating so I eat foods high in fat and protein for most of my day. Some people find potatoes very satiating. Others love huge salads. Find the food that satiated you and eat more of that.1

It's different for different people. You need to experiment and take note of anything that helps you feel full. For me that would be hearty vegetable stews with most of stew bulk coming from potatoes.0

Coffee for me. Not sure if it's caffeine or bc it's hot, but it turns off my Hungry Switch.1

Two good, toasted pieces of bread (I love a good local market bakery bread with zero sugars in it) with 4 tbsp of costco guacamole and sliced tomatoes, if I have them on hand. I eat it for breakfast almost everyday, and it keeps me full for 4 hours.1

Protein, fiber &/or fat are the usual things. It's a different combination for everyone.
OP - experiment with components above, and meal timings. You shouldn't have to be hungry.....unless your daily calories are too low for you.0 -
Coffee and the premier protein drinks. Those have30g protein and only160 calories. Or u could try greek yogurt with a glass of water.0

A hearty salad with meat and cheese salads have lots of antioxidants that bloat you and keep you full longer0

Low carbohydrate wrap. (60 cal) 1.5 ounces of grilled chicken. (60 cal) 1/8 avocado (30 cal), spring mix lettuce with spinach(10 cal). Lots of lemon juice and black pepper (0 cal), cherry flavored H2O (0 cal). 160 calories total, it is delicious and I'm full for hours with a solid, tasty low calorie, fat and salt food. Use lemon juice to keep the remaining avocado fresh. NO cheese, mayo, salt or dressing of any kind.0
