Ate all my calories, but still hungry!

I really need to make sure that the calories I eat are good choices and will keep me full. Empty calories today didn't do me any favors! That is why I go over my calorie limit and can't lose weight! How many of you are having this same issue?

I guess I'll snack on some sugar snow peas and go to bed before I start to feel hungry again.

    Make sure your calories are healthy choices, make sure they have fiber so you're satisfied. If they are healthy, relax... increase your caloric intake. Exercise. Then work on lowering your calories slowly.

    You probably ate something with a lot of calories ( BIG MEAL OR A LOT OF SNACKING WHICH DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH PROTEIN) or change your calories settings (is you eat 1200 to lose 2 pounds ,eat 1400 for a pound each week). Hope that helps

    I just got crystal light stuff today.. it's supposed to keep you from feeling hungry. i only saw the hunger management ones in one flavor, strawberry banana, but I tried it earlier after i got done working out cause i was hungry at 9 and i'm still not hungry.
    They really work. But I get like that all the time.. I can eat at a buffet and 10 minutes later I'll be starving

    I've heard that most of the time people think they're hungry, they're actually thirsty. Make sure you stay super hydrated! Also make sure to pace yourself. I did the same thing today...just got back home from college for summer and I have to get back in the swing of eating with my not-dieting family, so I ate too much too early and had to find a good low-calorie evening snack to tide me over. I went with air-popped popcorn with salt and pepper and just a bit of butter. Now that it's late and I shouldn't be eating anything this close to bedtime, I'm just having a cup of "bedtime" tea so that I can still have something flavorful.
