Water. More veggies. Protein.0

Make sure you fill up on water, fiber, protein and fats. Fat helps you feel full for longer along with protein and fiber. Don't cut out all fat... fat is needed by the body.0

Also, you haven't provided any info about how much you are actually eating - maybe you really ARE starving!
What is your average daily calorie intake vs. your TDEE?0 -
I didnt give up the good fat. Just the bad fat. Ive been drinking almost a gallon of water a day and increased my fruits and veggies.0

what qualifies as "nasty" fat? It's good to stay low on saturated/trans fats, but fat really helps aid weight loss, so like others have said, don't remove it completely. Some of my favorites are avocados and assorted nuts
eta: just saw your response -- I'll see my way out0 -
Somewhere in my nutrition textbook it said that tomatoes contain chemicals that either suppress your appetite or just make you feel fuller (not the same thing, for the record).0

How much are you eating a day? You most likely aren't eating enough.0

Yeah you should aim for 25-30% of your calories from fat... and be sure to choose the highest fiber foods you can. Also, eat protein every time you eat anything. If you just have carbs/veggies/fruits for a snack, you'll be hungry WAY sooner than if you add protein every time.0

PROTEIN!!! On my weight loss journey I have found that protein is very key. Also, there were times when I just maintained my weight and was always feeling hungry, and by upping my calories 100-200 a day jump started my weight loss again. If you're working out hard throughout the week, you have to fuel your body or it will just hold on to the fat and weight. Sounds strange, but maybe you need to look at that. Try getting 35-40% of your calories each day from protein.0

Why on earth would you want to suppress your appetite. If your fat macro is low to non existent then it is no wonder you are hungry. I presume you mean trans fats by "nasty" fat...? Also with not enough cals if you are active, then you will be hungry, we have no idea of your intake, so cannot help beyond vague suggestion here.0 -

Just from today ( until lunch) im at 44 grams of protein. Should it be higher then that ? Im kind of confused on what i should be at.
All together it says( remaining) 708 cals 121 carbs 3 fat 17protein. Good or bad?0 -
And when im referring to nasty fats, im talking about Fast Food ... and most saturated fats, but not all.0

It's just a sign you're in a deficit, haha! Which is the whole point (assuming your goal is to lose). Alas, not a lot you can do. You'll get a lot of stock answers here, drink more water, up your protein/fat/fiber, etc. but when you're in a true deficit, you're going to be hungry no matter what and the effect of those fixes is fleeting at best.
I'm afraid the only surefire fix is to eat more (or take an appetite suppressant, which I don't recommend).0 -

Just gonna quote this again.0 -
Here's something that will blow your mind: Saturated fats are actually good for you and essential for healthy hair, skin and brains.
Trans fats are BAD BAD BAD. (but we all knew that)0 -
If you opened your food diary you would get a more informed response instead of guesses0

What is your calorie goal? Are you following MFP's suggestions?
Are you exercising?
Also opening your diary would make it a whole lot easier to give you answers.0 -

How many calories are you consuming daily? Can you open your diary?
708 remaining is why you feel like you are starving. You should have as close to 0 calories remaining as possible.0
