    Your cals are way too low. Adjust to 1800 at least i'd say.

    You are hungry because you are not eating enough.

    There are a lot of quick and easy healthy foods that can be added to fruit or veggie sticks for a filling snack.. Eggs, peanut butter, nuts, hummus, edamame, low sugar granola or trail mix, greek yogurt.

    It gets easier. You just need to wait for your body to adapt.

    In the mean time coffee helps with hunger pangs.

    This. I am still struggling but if I stick with it, I am fine. Protein helps me feel full as well as good carbs that I don't just burn right through. Lots of leafy greens!! For instance, a salad with chicken or cottage cheese keeps me full for hours. When I eat pizza or white bread or sweets - I downward spiral out of control in to a "binge". Exercising puts me in a good mental place and I somehow am happier and crave less food in general.

    It's my belief that those feelings of constant hunger will fade as you start to lose weight and your stomach shrinks. Perhaps you'll still have a twinge of hunger thereafter but think of it as something to be proud of. In a weird way, it's a sign of progress and dedication. That said, I love Orville Redenbacher's 100 calorie bags of individual buttered popcorn. I spruce it up with a calorie-free butter airsol (sold in the same aisle) and salt :) That might be a good snack to shut up the tummy, lol.
