Doesn't have to be 40-30-30 at every meal, but I think it's helpful to think of meals as all containing a significant source of protein, as well as fat and carbs. Sabine's examples are good, but if you know what foods have fats, protein, and carbs, it's easy. (I often get fat from something like a salad with a dressing with a little olive oil or by adding olives or cheese or nuts to the salad--it doesn't have to be a separate food. I'd get protein there by adding some protein to the salad too, like chicken or eggs or steak or tofu or falafel, so on.)
Great point about salad dressings etc.0 -
How do I achieve those goals0

What goals? You've gotten TONS of good advice about how to eat a balanced diet. For the most part, folks are saying the same thing over and and over. Eat real food. Eat protein and fat in addition to the carbs. done. Don't over think it0 -

By looking up foods you want to eat in the food database and logging them. Log before you eat so you can see how much a portion should be. Accurately measure how much food you eat and stay within your goal.

After a few months I noticed a carb, protein and fat help me stay satisfied. Try adding peanut butter to your apple, or have eggs.
Play around a little with your macros and see what helps you.0 -

Also, if you don't like peanut butter (or is doesn't fit your macros), you can stir in a serving of raw almonds. That is good too.

If peanut butter doesn't fit your macros, how will raw almonds? The macro profiles are pretty much identical:
1 Tbsp peanut butter (32 g): 191 cal, 16 g fat, 7 g carbs, 7 g protein
32 g almonds: 185 cal, 16 g fat, 7 g carbs, 7 g protein

OP, as others have said, it sounds like you aren't eating enough.
I also wanted to add - different people find different foods satiating. You kind of have to play around with it and find what works for you. I find apples pretty filling, others here have said they don't. I don't find oatmeal filling, but others do. Some people need more protein, some more fat. I found raising my protein helped alot, but find I also need a balanced amount of carbs. A breakfast of eggs and bacon will keep some folks full for hours, but I'd be starving. An egg with some potatoes or an English muffin works better for me. I'm not saying this to confuse things, but just to emphasize that there is no one correct macro ratio for everyone.
Good luck!4 -

Actually that will depend on the brand you eat. My Blue diamond natural almonds have 160 calories for 28 g. My Smucker's natural peanut butter has 200 calories for 32 g. Almonds (or any nuts) which have been roasted and have added oils will have a different profile from ones that haven't been through those processes.0 -
If you want a more satisfying snack, I like an oatcake with an ounce of cheese and either an apple or some grapes. If oatcakes aren't a thing where you are, you could go for a wholegrain cracker (but oatcakes are great, I find them really satisfying for not many calories).1

Something about apples always makes me feel hungry after I eat them (for years). I actually think maybe it's the fiber or the way it's digested maybe upsets my stomach and the feeling is confused as hunger.0

Those are rounded values from brand labels with a 14% difference in the serving weights; pretty sure at those calories rounding to nearest multiple of 10 is allowed. The values I showed were for equal weights of almonds and peanut butter from the USDA database (although I admit to rounding to the nearest gram, and I don't know whether they were using a peanut butter with sugar and/or non-peanut oils added -- however, that mainly makes a difference in the lipid breakdown, not total fat.)0 -
The coffeehouse I stop by on the way to work every morning has a breakfast sandwich consisting of a baked egg, a slice of bacon, and a slice of cheese on a small francese roll, working out to 327 calories if I've figured it correctly. That particular combination of protein, fat, and carbs keeps me feeling satisfied for hours afterward. Try something like that, if your habitual breakfast isn't keeping you feeling sated.1

I find eating snacks just makes me way more hungry a short time later.
So instead I just have more substantial meals. And if I feel hungry between them, I just stick it out. It only lasts 10 minutes or so then you feel fine again.1 -

They don't make me hungry, but they make me burp. Related, maybe? Like a false alarm hunger signal because of trapped wind?0 -
If it was a sugary yogurt and not a good greek yogurt, I'd be starving too. It's all sugar.2

I didn't read all replies, but to the OP, apples do same thing for me. When i eat one, i feel hungrier than before and it stays that way until i eat something else. So i don't usually have apples for a snack. Yogurt is a different story though, it will keep me full for a while. So, maybe, try a different fruit or a veggies with the yogurt. I do put half an apple into my morning smoothie, with other fruit, veggies and nuts. Keeps my full until lunch. And i drink it early as well, about 7.15am. Hope it helps0
