Help me be full!

I try to eat every 2 or 3 hours. I try to eat a lot of protein. I eat about 1350 calories a day. However, I feel like I need food after 30 minutes or so. Sometimes at night I can't control it no matter how much water I chug. Basically, anyone know any tricks or anything that helps them feel full? I'm even fine with supplements but I'm a little scared of chia seeds (feel free to sway me towards chia).
Thanks! =]

1) why are you scared of chia?

2) if you're not full, you should eat more

Fiber! As for chia seeds, look up recipes chia fresca. Delicious way to eat chia seeds. Another way the eat them is to soak them, then put them in smoothies. Yum!

have you mentioned this to your DR. You could have some kind of condition that is causing you to have the hunger. I was just like you alway hungry and was trying to figure out what was wrong with my nutrition that I was always hungry. Turned out that I was insulin resistant and that was why I was always hungry.

A few things fill me up pretty easily and don't require a TON of calories

1- a few carrots and some peanut butter.
2- Egg salad sandwich (always fills me up)
3- Oatmeal

make sure you are not using artificial sweeteners, they can cause people to feel more hungry

I would try upping your calories a bit and creating a deficit with exercise. My guess is that you are hungry because your body needs more fuel. This kind of feeling can also be common if you have insulin resistance. You say you are chugging water at night - is this to try and feel full or because you are very thirsty? If you are getting plenty of water but have an insatiable thirst you might want to get a physical to make sure everything is ok metabolically.

She makes a good point! It would be difficult to eat my daily calorie goal, so I exercise to earn more calories to eat LOL

Last night after dinner I felt absolutely stuffed, yet my dinner was only 246 calories. I felt so stuffed because most of my dinner was roasted cauliflower and roasted asparagus. I added a little bit of chimichurri sauce and served it over 1/2 cup mixture of brown rice & quinoa and it was great. For me, finding some lower calorie foods that I love has been really helpful in finding that full feeling without breaking the calorie bank.

You are very close to your goal weight... In my opinion you are not eating nearly enough! I did the same thing. I was hungry all the time, no energy (not good when you are trying to build muscle.)
Consider setting your calorie intake to 1600 and eating back at least half of your exercise calories.
It did wonders for me... My body has enough nutrients to make muscle and I am still losing fat :-) I have energy! YAY! (The first two weeks of eating more I DID gain a pound and a half, but my fat percentage has been steadily dropping, I am down from a size 7 to a 5 and I feel great!)

OMG since starting to follow a proper calorie intake I feel hungry all the time. All I think about is food . I found working out or a distraction like cleaning helps but sometimes I feel to shaky and just want to eat. I think my body is adapting to such a reduction in calorie intake and increase in activity levels. But although the weight is dropping well I feel well snappy and can't imagine me upkeeping the results when I meet my goal. I'll follow this for some useful tips/

I used to feel the same way. I never felt full unless I had a total binge, and other than those moments, I always wanted something to eat. I was never satisfied no matter how much I ate - I always "needed" something more (and I was eating plenty of protein - nearly 150g a day). Watching calories (I was eating 1500 - 1800 calories) was so hard because I was always hungry so food was all I ever thought about, and there were never enough calories for all the food I seemed to be hungry for. What worked for me was to cut grains and sugars (besides fruit and veggies). I'm not saying that's what will work for everyone, but it has done wonders for me. I still eat too much sometimes, but that's because of bad habits (eating out of boredom). I'm now easily satisfied and don't feel like I just need something else. I often eat all my calories before 4:00 p.m. (because that's when I'm hungry and enjoy eating), and then don't eat again until 8:00 a.m. the next morning and don't feel any hunger at all. Every time I allow myself to have a grain or sugar, I feel those same unsatisfied feelings and start overeating again. So anyway - this is what works for me.

2- Egg salad sandwich (always fills me up)

I think I just figured out what I'm going to have for dinner tonight. Thanks! LOL!

They are good! I like to chop up a little pickle and mix it in! mmmm

then you're probably not at a proper calorie intake

50 grams of protein is not " a lot". Ditch the instant oatmeal for breakfast. Go with steel cut or ones without sugar and pair with a protein. I can make a huuuge egg white/veggie/cheese/bacon omelet for under 300 calories. Keeps me much more full than a packet of instant oatmeal. A kashi bar for lunch? No. That would just piss off my appetite. Make yourself a huge salad with some protein. Chicken breast or salmon with brown rice or quinoa with veggies or make a grilled chicken wrap on a whole grain tortilla or ezekial wrap. I find a combination of fats and protein make a satisfying snack. A babybel cheese with a handful of almonds. String cheese with some slices of turkey. If you're having trouble with water you could make a pitcher infused with fruit. I take a water pitcher and put strawberries mint and lime and let it sit in the fridge overnight and then sip on it all the next day.

I haven't read the other responses on here so excuse me if mine is repeating itself but a few things to consider:

1 - Not Enough Calories: perhaps, for your height, weight and activity level, you could be under eating for your goal (cutting, losing weight or bulking, gaining size)

2 - Water: You mentioned drinking tons of water and it not doing the trick. If you're consistently drinking a gallon a day, raise that progressively to a gallon and a half

3- Fruits & Veggies: they are great in the sense that they cause of a feeling of fullness and are very low in calories. Aside of course of their health benefits

Good luck.
