    Drink a lot of water and buy some time. What sounds good now might feel terrible later. If you still want to eat something else after a couple of hours and a couple glasses of water, pick something that is reasonably healthy and will satisfy your craving.

    Even if it is your day off the treadmill, you might try taking a walk outside if the weather is reasonable. That might help also. Bottom line, give yourself some time.

    You should proly be trying to eat some more protien based foods (and fiberous ones - I cant tell your fiber from yuor diary). But 20 rice cakes arent going to fuel your day! Try some dried fruit and nuts or veggies and light ranch/hummus for a morning snack. Also- greek yogurt has been a life saver of fullness.

    And while I applaud fruit at your lunch time- a fruit salad won't really keep you full for the afternoon- try something with protein and carbs - ie try for more food group balance. I usually do a sandwich, chicken or bean salad or wrap + piece of fruit. Plan you day out better so that you use more (most) of your calories. You should have 4-600 left for dinner, Use the rest of those cals up!
