    Have you tried eating more protein, and eating every few hours? Your diet choices are not sustainable for you, if you feel that it is torture. Try something else before you give up. Have you also looked into strength training?
    Hopefully he'll come back and respond when it's daytime where he lives, but I know that he's not been one for eating smaller, more frequent meals, and this worked for him in the past. I also know he's not likely to pick up strength training, as I've been beating that drum since I've known him (what, 8 months now?). If he'll suddenly listen to you though, I'll rejoice.

    You might even like it, dude! Have I been anything but excited (overall, not necessarily in the moment) about lifting big since you've know me?!

    Chiming in - the more protein I eat, the better I feel and the less hungry I am. I find the days after I eat sugar I feel pretty hungry .. Also, I find that adding something green to my day - those bright colored veggies help as well. Maintenance is fairly complex for me - i have to get my water, my macros, my 10000 steps , and my yoga or barre3, my sleep in every 24 hours for the right net calories. Sugar seems to be my enemy as well as bread pasta potatoes and rice. Avocados and nuts seem to be my friends.

    I also recommend drinking a lot of water. My appetite's virtually nonexistent at this point, and for a while I struggled to distinguish between when I was just bored/looking for an excuse to eat versus when I actually needed the food. If you know you've eaten a decent amount but don't feel satisfied, drinking a large glass or two of water can help give you that distinct "full" feeling.

    I'm unsure of your stats but I'm 5'10, 163, 37 yrs old and my maintenance is 2344. My daily cals is or at least what I have it at is 1800 to lose weight .

    However, I'm unsure of how active you are or how many hours a week you exercise.
