Not sure what the point of this post was, so I'll give you my general tips for hunger.

First thing to do is to make sure your calorie goals are set appropriately for your size and activity level. Way too many people have their goals set too low and then wonder why their bodies are trying to tell them something.

Look for foods with lots of protein, fat, and fiber in them. These help keep us fuller and more satisfied longer. 9 grams of protein really isn't a lot. I tend to eat closer to 20-30 grams for breakfast to keep me full.

Drink plenty of fluids. Some people really do confuse thirst for hunger.

Play around with your meal timings. Some people do really well on 6 small meals a day and others do better on 2-3 larger meals. Meal timing/eating more frequently/eating or skipping breakfast won't affect your weight loss. It may affect your hunger levels, mood, gym performance, concentration, etc. Don't be afraid to play around and find what works for you.

Last, sometimes you just have to wait it out. If you're eating enough, drinking enough, not cutting out any major food groups, etc. then sometimes you just have to wait for the body to catch up. The body sends you hunger cues partially out of habit. Give it a couple of weeks and it will get used to the idea of not sending them out as often.
