Here you you can figure out you Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) which is the number of calories your body needs to function if in a coma. This tool will also help you figure out how much you can eat to have a slow and steady weight lose without cutting so low you damage your metabolic rate.

yep, sometimes I am just starving and sometimes not sure what I should eat to fill the day. Exercise definitely is essential!!!

Exercise more...eat more!

This.

In the beginning, I felt like you do now. What was I supposed to eat?! So I worked out so I could earn more calories and eat more. Now I'm actually eating more volume-wise than I did then, but it's healthier food and still stays within my calorie goals. It gets easier. Just look at making one change at a time: maybe work on getting more protein, or getting more vegetables. Making small adjustments as you go will help you find the right balance.

see a nutritonalist, they will put you on the right track of what you can eat.
Potatoes are a big no no. to much carbs. Veggies, fruits, some meat (not ground beef) are good. I eat the skinny cow icecreams for snacks, or a 100 calorie brownie from Fiber one or bar those are really good. Then I eat a chobani yogurt and 100 calorie breakstone cottage cheese with fruit for lunch. For breakfast I eat fiber one cereal 90 calories, 1 cup. and a banana or cheese stick for some protein becaus protein makes you feel fuller and so does fiber. Dinner I eat shrimp or a roastbeef/ ham/turkey sandwhich with two pieces of Wonder smart bread and some mayonaise that is Kraft with olive oil. So I feel I actually eat alot but I am never over 1000 calories. some nights i eat a 3 oz porkchop with some veggies. Cucumbers are delicous if you like them and hardly no calories at all. So is watermelon. I think a cup of watermelon is 65 calories. 5 cucumber slices is like maybe 10 at the most.

Maybe try eating smaller portions, slowly. What you're eating IS healthy, but there might be too much of it. Since your body takes 10-15 minutes to realize it's full, right? So maybe, if you ate say, half of what you're eating now, put it down and go do something else (exercise??) for like, half an hour. You'll feel less hungry if you're distracted, so do something that requires a lot of concentration.

If you're still hungry, maybe eat half of what you have left. If you've done exercise, you've maybe burned off enough to eat the whole thing, but then you're just breaking even, and I think the goal is to consume less calories than you burn.

definitely exercise more so you can eat more.
