After looking on a few posts about eating your daily calorie limit and still feeling hungry, it seems upping proteins and fats helps keep you fuller. Looking at my diary today, that could explain why I'm so hungry still!

So How can I up my protein and fats sensibly? I'm especially thinking of work, when I usually have to work through lunch and need something quick and easy to prepare.

I'm lactose intolerant so the easy option of cheese is out

    Brownberry makes a high-protein multigrain bread. You could put some peanut or almond butter on that and have the best of both worlds without dairy.

    Thinking outside the box here but..
    Learn your hunger times and save some meals for those times. Maybe eat less food but more frequently. Eating big meals with fat n protein can only keep you full for so long.
