    All I can suggest is cut back on the wheat products, I am not suggesting gluten free, but there was certainly a lot of wheat based products in your diet.

    I have tried most food maintenance methods and the only thing that works for me is limiting sugar (basically snacks), wheat (Bread/pastas etc) and beer. Instead I have a couple eggs in morning, skip the oatmeal/bread and add some turkey bacon for more proteins, lunch I stick to fish or chicken to implement some good fats and again more proteins, dinner is all over the map but again, say no to the bread/buns/rolls/pastas/wheat products and throw some good carbs and if your working out at all, more protein is not going to hurt.

    no offense, but restricting foods because one thinks they are bad will more then likely lead to binging out said foods, which leads to overeating, and then failure….

    I completely disagree. I was never overweight, (I started about 10 lbs heavier than I am now), but cutting wheat/bread was the best thing I ever did. Granted, it's only been 8 months or so, but I've only binged one drunken night and it was on Goldfish crackers. Three whole handfuls! I was so ashamed. :tongue:

    Anyway, bread-y, wheat-y items tend to make me crave sugar and just want to eat, eat, eat! I actually cut the wheat/grains because I was tired of being hungry all the time. It worked. And I don't crave them at all any more. OP, you might try it and see if it works for you. I personally don't find 300 calories worth of wheat products nearly as filling/satisfying as 300 calories worth of meat and veggies.

    I do agree with what most everyone has said. That seems like a very small amount of food to me.

    Having a locked diary makes it difficult to help, but if you are hungry all the time, it's probably a sign you need to eat more. Don't ignore your body's cues.

    I'm new to this site and this is my 1st post. I was addicted to food as it was my salvation and I ate at every chance I got. I was always hungry. What worked for me was changing my thought process about food. I lost 115 pounds in 2 years and am down to my last 25. I found that if you think about being hungry and concentrate on the hunger... it will consume you. I watch my nutritional intake daily and to be honest on my cheat day I blow it out of the water... literally kill it. However knowing what I can intake and how much fuel my workout is going to require allows me to eat just about what I want... within portion and within my nutritional intake. That has been my ticket. I workout 5 days a week, I maintain my diet 6 days a week, and the one glorious days I get my cheat meal I usually don't want to over due it because of the previous weeks dedication to becoming fit. For example today I decided was my cheat day, well because I was craving Ice cream... I had Deluxe Mint Chocolate chip Ice cream = 640 calories. It was delicious and it put me over my intake by 248 calories. No problem..... I am 339 calories under on Monday and 215 calories under on Tuesday, end of the week I am still on track to making my goal.

    You say a lot of veggies, but how much exactly? What does your fiber intake look like as well? Eating a lot of fiber can help keep someone full as well.

    That wouldn't fill me up and I'm a pretty small woman.

    How many calories is it?

    me too! I'm 5'7 eating 1750 a day at the moment and reasonably hungry. What you're eating doesn't appear to be maintenance - I'd be having 2 eggs, 1c mushrooms, a tomato, 1c spinach and 100g ham for breakfast, followed by 200g yoghurt w. fruit for snack etc etc. Get eating!

    I agree with the wheat thing. My energy levels etc plummet when I'm on wheat. Been good for just 5 days and really strict and I can really feel the difference! It pays off :) helps with hunger too

    eat more, drink more, eat protein to feel fuller, recognise when you are bored and hungry. I doubt you are eating enough

    I am studying nutrition, and looking at your daily list, I would suggest you replace your afternoon fruit with protein and some healthy fat instead. You are eating too many carbs and it's elevating your glucose levels and that's probably why you feel hungry. Try eating an apple with peanut butter, or some nuts and a glass of skim milk. Every body is different. And do drink more water - it will make you feel full but try to manage your glucose levels better.
