    Are you trying to lose weight?

    Eat high volume foods, like vegetables, and foods that are satiating such as protein.

    There is a little hunger involved, but if it's a lot maybe you have your calories set too low?

    I find protein and fat are filling. For me, getting enough of both and something that adds volume with fewer calories such as veggies is a great way to feel full longer and keep within the calorie goal.

    You may find other things filling. You might need to try a few different things to figure it out.

    1) Choose a weekly weight loss goal that is appropriate for you. 2 lbs/week is only for those with 75+ lbs to lose.

    2) Pay attention to which foods leave you feeling more satiated and focus on those. Many would put protein and fiber in those categories, as well as a reasonable amount of fat. As was mentioned, some find a greater volume of lower calorie foods the way to go. It will take a while to work out what's most effective for you.

    OP, are you logging somewhere else, because your diary's pretty bare. If the day that's partially logged (with salad and coffee) is an indication of how you're trying to eat, it's no wonder you are hungry. :( You don't have to eat "diet foods" to lose weight.

    I like eating higher fat/protein foods, and higher volume as well (vegetables, fruits, etc). For example, I made a taco casserole last night made with 86% ground beef, which kept me full the rest of the night. I also make sure I hit close to my calorie goal each day; your deficit is built in to your daily calorie goal, so do your best to get to it every day.
