    For healthy veggie dip, try hummus, or tatziki sauce (spelling) - it tastes like sour cream. You can get hummus with different kinds of flavoring. If you don't like the tatziki you could try adding some salsa to it.

    Guess I am going to have to try some hummus! I've seen it, but never tried it or cared too. But after all the suggestions on how it's yummy and healthy, it's peeked my interest.

    it seems to me that if you are actually hungry all the time, then you need to up your calories.

    Do you mean that you are actually hungry, or that you just want to eat?
    I am always hungry. I always overeat. It is my biggest issue with food, but my question is I am always hungry. Are there healthy foods that are filling or will make me fuller? I am a really picky eater and don't care for vegetables, but can tolerate a few more than others. Just looking for suggestions food-wise. I'm going bonkers feeling like I am starving.

    I mean I am hungry. My stomach growls and everything. Lol. Even when I am full, I want to eat. ;) But I can control that, it's the being hungry all the time that bugs me.

    MFP gives you an estimate of your BMR and how many calories you should eat in order to stick with what your goal is (i.e. Losing 2 pounds a week or whatever you set it to) but if you are feeling true hunger w the amount of calories you are given, maybe you do want to try To increase your calories. I know you want to lose weight as fast as you can but if you're hungry all the time, it will be hard to continue living that way and you might end up just giving up (that's what I used to do).

    What I have found worked for me is I increased my calorie goal by 100 calories a week until I felt a sustainable deficit. I started MFP two years ago w the lose 2 pounds a week setting and I never kept at it for long. Now I have it set to a calorie deficit where I lose 0.9 pounds per week and have stuck with it for awhile now. It's slow, but I haven't had the urge to binge eat because I starved myself. Again, I'm no expert, just sharing what works for me :)

    Hummus is pretty filling! I like to dip baby carrots in hummus.

    If you're looking for a snack that you can eat a lot of and not gain weight, eat grapes. They are super filling!
