I'm always left hungry.

    Hi Jenny, you've gotten some great ideas in this thread and I agree that playing around with the timing of your meals may be helpful - that has certainly helped me. I can tolerate hunger more during the earlier part of the day, so I save most of my calories for the evening. It looks like we eat about the same amount (1350) and I'm hungry every day too. I'd like to be able to eat more, but unfortunately, being 54 and having serious health problems (recovering from bone cancer and chronic leukemia), I can't lose if I eat any more, so I've had to find ways to cope with the hunger. I find I can deal with it better mentally if I know that it is for a limited period of time and I will be able satisfy that hunger beginning in the late afternoon and be comfortable the rest of the night.

    Just to share a couple foods that really help me - I don't know if I could make it without watermelon and popcorn! The watermelon is 88 calories for 10 ounces (about 3.5 cups) and light popcorn for 120 calories per 3.5 cups. So that's 200 calories for 7 cups of very filling food! Many days I eat both of these to help keep hunger at bay. Wishing you all the best in your journey! :-)

    I eat little and often during the day and have a 500+ meal for tea :) I do have days where I seem to have an insatiable hunger (like today!) but 90% of the time it works. If you're body gets hungry and it's not sure when it's getting fed again, it will hold on to the fat :( Maybe try it for a week and see how your body responds :)

    No, it won't. Absolutely not.

    Yes, water and macros can help. However, honestly even though you didn't supply your stats (please do) your intake seems possibly aggressively low.

    That's a good idea. I'll definitely use that.

    I see that I need to be more responsible and more demanding of myself. I am trying some of your hints for filling things to curb hunger so I can have a fairly normal dinner with my husband.
