Without seeing your diary, and not knowing your calorie aim it's hard to know what would constitute advice and help.
However, for what it's worth, you could try some of the following;
Balance out your calories intake, so you get a quarter of your calories for each meal with the other quarter spare for snacks.
Make sure your meals/snacks all include some protein.
Try to make sure your carbohydrates are complex, lots of fibre and whole grains.
Eat loads of fresh vegetables, especially leafy ones.
Drink as much water as you can, especially before a meal.

I know this is fairly generic, but it's all stuff that helps.
Good luck.

I couldn't survive on 1200 calories a day either to be honest. no matter how much sleep I had! I have a 20 month old she is up between 5-6 everyday. I work full time as well. But I eat 1850 calories a day plus exercise calories. Could you up your calories to feel more satisfied?
