    I eat quite a bit of protein on my more active days and it really helps make me feel full.

    Okay I looked at your diary and I dont see any water. Do you not log it? if you just dont drink water maybe start to drink. I try to drink one bottle of water when I wake up, then another one when Im driving to work, then another one after getting settled, I eat a snack around 10:30 followed by a bottle of water and yes water does help!

    I also agree that protein helps alot if by any wierd change I get to atleast 30g or protein on my meal I feel full for a good at least 3hrs.

    lower carbs and higher protein works for me, pehaps supplment a protein shake (I like eas whey protein 23 g protein, 1g fat, 3 g carbs).. if you are hungry be sure to snack so you dont binge at dinner :)

    I do understand what you mean. When I'm not full, I feel like I'm hungry even though I'm really not. It takes a while to recognize the difference between hunger and just not being full. I have to really stop and say - am I hungry or is my belly just comfortablly happy. I've noticed that I have the most energy when I'm not full but not hungry - it's that place in between. I call it "empty" belly. Not hunger - not full - just right. So I'm trying to strive for that feeling a little more. There is a definetly difference between hunger and emply.
    This was my thought as well. The OP mentions not feeling "stuffed." Personally, I don't *like* feeling stuffed. That is uncomfortable. I have been trying to eat a little slower, taking time to enjoy my meal (when I have the time), and noticing when I no longer feel hungry. There is definitely some space between "hungry" and "stuffed to the seams" -- I like to be there :smile:

    Well, first of all I completely understand what your saying. I am the same way..... I eat lunch but never really feel "full" so in turn I snack all afternoon. BUT- this can be a good thing because it will keep your metabolism going and if your eating healthy snacks- no worries.

    I have found that protein fills me up for the longest- i.e. whey protein shakes with soy milk, or I just tried a CLIF bar (chocolate mint) it tasted amazingly good and kept me full for hours (this literally NEVER happens).

    I only feel full if I eat eggs or meat.
