    Also, a good tool on the app is to review your calories for the week and not just one day. If you've had several low days, you will still feel hungry even though you may be on track that day. Same if you are not eating back exercise calories. Make sure you are trying to hit the red goal line for the week, not just focusing on how you feel on one day.

    too much sugar in your diet... non natural sugars (cheerios, milk, smoothie, ice cream...) cause the body to crave more making you feel hungry. switch to more natural sugars. watermelan, strawberries, fruit...

    PROTEIN!

    PROTEIN!

    PROTEIN!

    get some protein powder.

    I have oatmeal for breakfast. its fricken awesome.

    more fibre.

    edit: and good fats - coconut cream / oil is a very good thing to add to your daily intake. chuck it in a smoothie, with the protein powder, berries and 2 bananas. happy times.

    1- you are doing far too much exercise, that can also be part of eating disordered behaviour and will stimulate appetite. I do less than that and need 2000-2500 calories to maintain.
    2 - things like cereal and bread, along with sugary foods, tends to stimulate a want for more of the same, and always leave me feeling empty. Try cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, baked potato with beans, nuts, marinates tofu, greek yoghurt and lentils. These are all great sources of protein and will keep you full a lot longer.
