    Have you been dieting for awhile? Too big a deficit can REALLY mess up your metabolism/hunger levels, and it'd probably help to bump up your intake for a week or so. I find drinks are the best way to go for me, like carbonated fruit juice or carbonated water, or coffee or tea. Lattes are my pick of choice actually, but probably better if you're trying to maintain or gain, and I understand you want to lose weight. Temperature can also make the biggest difference! Sometimes if I have something warm too early in the morning, it makes me want to nibble, which if you're trying to avoid, you're better off having, say, an Izze (carbonated fruit juice). But by the afternoon, tea/coffee can effectively stave off hunger until dinner. Also drink lots of water, of course. And make sure lunch is filled with fibrous veggies! Try to avoid the wimpy diet foods like rice cakes, rice krispy, etc (basically, air disguised as food.) Stuff like that still counts calorically but digests SO fast you'll find yourself hungry a lot sooner.

    Protein keeps me more satiated than any other food group.......something as simple as a hard boiled egg....a piece of cheese here and there.

    Eggs.

    my favorite protein and cheap! A little carton of egg whites lasts at least a week it not longer even if you eat them every morning (1/4 cup is 2 whites and enough for breakfast for me when I add in a thin bun some cheese and turkey bacon - fairly low cal breakfast with lots of protein).
