    Try eating food with more fiber. Fruits, veggies, whole grains...
    Upping your protien may also help? Not sure about that one though.

    Lay off refined carbs which will make you crave more food. Eat lots of protein, fresh veggies, and fruit. Anything with refrined flour or sugar (bread, sodas, candy, quick food) are quick burning....they don't stick with you.

    Lower your carbs - get more of them from veg sources than breads/cereals. Up your protein (and fat). You'll be way more satisfied on way fewer calories.

    drink water when you feel hungry, it'll help and if your still hungry after 1 or two bottles eat something with fiber or protein!!

    I agree with what everyone else is saying. Looking at your diet you are eating too many refined carbs and not enough protien. Chicken will fill you up much longer than bread. For dinner I eat allot of chicken and steamed veggies with Mrs Dash. Then I can always throw in a bag of light popcorn when I get the munchies.

    Water always helps when you're hungry. Remember not to confuse being bored with being hungry. I know thats something I do often.

    I think it's better to stick to a slightly higher goal - maybe 1300 or 1400 - and be satisfied, then try to go lower and risk binging. You're not supposed to be hungry all the time. If you are, something's off. Either you're not eating enough, or you're eating the wrong things.

    Agree!! Most of the time when your body is telling you that you're hungry you're really thirsty!!
