    I am specifically craving cheese.
    So instead of going crazy for regular pizza I have been grill zucchini or eggplant on the grill and adding cheese and sauce and feeling very full.

    Your cheese craving may not be a craving for fat, but a craving for protein. (I sometimes use cheese to bring my protein levels up a bit). Your diet is rather lower in protein than you typically see among people on long-term calorie restricted diets. Overall if there were one thing about your nutritional plan I'd suggest changing it would be to shift some of your calories from fat to protein. Eating more protein may soothe the craving beast.

    Just my two cents. Again, everyone is different. I thought it was worth pointing out because a year ago I ate like you did and thought I was getting PLENTY of protein, and kind of learned through experimentation that NO, more protein made me feel AWESOME as well as less hungry / run down.

    I am going to be doing this. I have a grill at work now - so instead of my grilled eggplant sandwiches with bread i'm going to be grilling chicken. I hope it makes the difference. Thank you all for the advice!!
