    I'm on 1300+ usually, but one thing I noticed about your eating is that you eat a lot of cookies/crackers. Something that's low calorie and filling are fruits and veggies :) You might not appreciate my suggestion but... yeah. I'd say limit yourself to one pack a day and eat a loooot more fruits/veggies and you'll find that you can eat more and stay within your goal.

    I like to buy the big bags of fresh carrots/ snap peas/ celery/ clementines and pre cut/wash/peel them because I know I'll be too lazy wash and eat them later. That's how avoid the crackers and brownies!

    Same here, after I get home from the store every sunday I clean all of my fruits and veggies and make sure they are ready to eat right from the fridge. That way it is quicker n easier for me.

    I'm on 1200 and I can tell you that I *live* on roasted asparagus and blue menu chicken fingers (from Loblaws, which is a grocery store in Canada). I eat an entire bundle of asparagus sprinkled with 1tsp oil and some salt and I also have 2 or 3 blue menu chicken fingers and some bbq sauce (2 tbsp) and it's about 300 calories and it's FILLING. Plus the asparagus and chicken fingers all go into the oven on the same tray so it saves on clean-up!

    Friend me, if you want, I'd be happy to discuss this!

    Very Easy To Eat Fruit and Veg (no prep required)
    apples, grapes, grape tomatoes, bananas, baby carrots, snap peas, bags of pre-cut brocolli, white mushrooms (just dust them off a bit before you eat them), frozen peas (just eat 'em frozen!), peaches, berries of almost all kinds, asparagus (it's good raw, just snap off the tough end), nectarines, pineapple (buy the pre-cut kind, who has time to core and chop a whole pineapple???)....

    Somewhat Easy to Eat Fruit and Veg (small prep required)
    oranges (peeling), clementines (peeling), bell peppers (chopping), fennel/anise (chopping), celery (rinse and chop), cherries (grab a bowl for the pits), jicama (peel and cut into sticks, eat like a carrot stick), mango (peel it and then eat it like an apple-orange, only messier!), kiwi (cut in half and eat out the insides of each side with a grapefruit spoon), grapefruit (cut in half and eat with a grapefruit spoon)....
