    Veggies with a little dip instead of fruit with yogurt might work, if the sugar is what is stoking hunger after eating it. I think you need to try different things, until you find what works for you. I often eat a few bites of leftover chicken, or a few forks of whatever protein dish from the day before as a snack. If I'm at work, I put those few extra bites in my lunch, and save the snack part for snack time.

    An apple and yoghurt does nothing for me either, try a handful of almonds, a bit of cheese or even a chocolate biscuit that will equate to the same calories, im guessing 100-150 cals? U need something with fat in it if u want to feel satisfied. As for breakfast I always have egg on toast sometimes with lean bacon and that always keeps me going till lunch. Im amazed your losing so well this close to goal on that amount of calories. Im 5'11 and 17lbs from goal and only on 1350 cals a day and lucky if I lose 1 lb a week.

    If you are hungry, truly hungry...you need to eat more. Even just a bit more. Listen to your body.

    Try Greek yogurt, which has more protein than regular, and add a tablespoon of either chia seeds or peanut butter to your yogurt (and some sweetener if you need it). That combo keep me full for a few hours, whereas regular yogurt doesn't do much. That, and drink water with the meal.

    For me, high carb/low carb doesn't matter. I have to eat the bulk of my calories between 7am-2pm. Then my hunger just shuts off and I'm fine. Otherwise, I'm simply starving all day and can never "catch" the hunger.

    Its funny to me how when someone mentions hunger its like a medical emergency.
    When you are on a calorie reducing diet hunger may come, don't panic.
    Remember, who are the people who don't get hungry ? Unhealthy people. People who have cancer or some other
    chronic illness.

    have a big cup of tea or big glass of cold water and remember hunger is a sign of a normal HEALTHY metabolism

    If it starts to affect your mood and your work performance, then I would consider upping the amount of protein and fiber you have with your snack. Especially soluble fiber. These things slow your digestion and help keep you
    fuller longer.

    Good luck

    I love apples, but they tend to make me feel full for just a bit, but then hungrier. I don't understand it, but it happens pretty much every time.

    I'm usually the same way.

    How does being hungry = healthy? If I'm not hungry, I'm unhealthy?
