Always hungry in the afternoon!

Sparkling water, soup, veggies... in general the higher protein or just lower sugary foods in my diet cause less hunger pains. Getting the proper vitamins. A lot of people will hate on multi-vitamins, but for like 6 bucks for a months worth... why not? I also eat uninterrupted. Multi-tasking while eating doesn't help establish food with nourishment. I can't see your log, but dairy for me is very filling like cottage cheese / yogurt, but generally fiber is good to help the sensation of being full.

First of all, make sure you are set to 1 pound per week. Secondly, make sure you get lots of fiber, lean protein, and water. You also have to eat back your exercise calories. I am 100% positive, unless you are bed ridden, you need more than 1200 calories per day.
I get bored in the afternoon, and that really adds to my afternoon hungry time. I just budget 2 lunches into my calories, one at noon and one at 3.

Caffeine is a dietary suppressant.. just sayin' don't use it as a crutch... but you can use it as a crutch.

I always eat dinner with my son and fiance. Take out stuff like bread, pasta, potatoes.... increase veggies and a small portion of lean meat.

After looking at your diary, it looks like you have 3 big meals at regular meal times. I eat all day long. I would try breaking up your 3 meals into 6. Make snack bags that are 150-300 calories. If you have 1600 calories, that means you can have 5 meals and a snack. Also, it looks like you are having pretty calorie dense meals, so try to swap for more filling foods so you can have snacks later.

I don't fight through the hunger. I've done it in the past and failed. Followed by failed, then more fail.

If I need something I eat.

This is just what I use to fight the munchies...

95g tin of Tuna, 71cal

or

Watermelon, 30cal per 100g (ill eat 400g easy) and its something that u can munch for ages.

or

Sorbet 107cal per 100g

or

Chewing Gum

or

Home made Soup

or

Greek Yogurt mixed with a chopped up Banana. 200g would be around 200cal i think.

Their my main go-to snacks.

Also, I try (doesn't always work out), but I try to split my cals as evenly as I can throughout the day.

Lastly..........Coffee......

I had the same problem, then by the time I got home I was ravenous like a wolf. I solved it by keeping a pack of Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix, Variety Pack of Dark Chocolate & Nut and Fruit & Nut bars in my desk. If I get that nagging hungry feeling about 4 p.m., I'll have one of these and a bottle of water. They are only 140 calories each, yet very sweet due to the chocolate or fruit. They take the edge of my hunger and satisfy my sweet tooth without going completely off the wagon. Then I am safe and sane when it is time for supper.

I have always LOVED soup so it was a no brainer for me to make up new soups! No more pasta in any of them. Wild rice is not actually rice, and is very low in calories for a grain. my top grain choices to choose from (I usually use at least 2 grains in each soup) Chicken based soups: Wild rice, couscous or farro. Beef based soups: Barley, wild Rice, or Quinoa
Then, LOTS of chopped up small, carrots and celery, of course, broccoli, etc. Onion and some turnips in beef soup. LOTS of fresh herbs....LOTS!
For the meat, after it is cooked, I run it through a food processor and then add to soup. You will be able to get away w/ less meat, but it is distributed so well it practicaly thickens the soup. Last 5 minutes...I add LOTS of chopped Kale.
The broth...whatever way you normally make or buy it. I have found that this ends up being very low calorie, healthy and filling.
Also, I bought small bowls and cups to eat out of to further slow me down....and small childrens spoons. Heh, it all helps!
