    I think my coffee isn't helping. I use about 220 cals a day on 2 cups of coffee. I will try cutting out the afternoon cup and have tea instead, give myself the extra 110 cals for a cheese stick or something with protein. I can't really eat much "fake" sugar without getting a headache so I have to be careful on that end.

    Thanks again! All the ideas you guys are giving me are fantastic, I will be reading through them all later when I have more time to focus, and start incorporating them. :)

    For me it's easier to have a mid-morning snack (high in protein) than to eat a big breakfast and hope it lasts until lunch.

    Also, a cup of tea seems to help. And maybe it's just me but mint tea is even better. If you can go for a walk that might curb your appetite a little as well.

    Personally I don' t let myself get too hungry - I am always hungry for lunch but I'm not going to sit there and starve for 3 or 4 hours.

    I find tea to be great, too. I tend to get the munchies late at night, and a cup of hot tea with a little Splenda helps ward off the munchies. I use herbal teas so that I get some flavor, too...there are lots of good flavors out there, but I'm partial to vanilla teas...kind of like a sweet treat without the calories!
