So today and yesterday I have felt soooo hungry. Although I have done a great job at staying just about at my calories I feel so hungry all day my head hurts. My questions is when you feel starving or hungry all day long what do you eat? What helps curb your hunger???

    Cream of wheat with margarine and lite brown sugar. I love that stuff. Low cal, very filling, and typically with lots of water (in the morning, it has to be coffee or things just don't go well)

    Increase protein! I have been wrapping a lowfat string cheese (mozerella) in low fat smoked ham deli slices. It is around 150 calories, and fairly high in protein. I heat it for about 10-15 seconds. Very yummy. Fiber is also a great choice for feeling fuller!

    Protein! Chicken or fish are good. Sometimes beef is what I need.

    a whole cucumber with skin cut up and spring mix salad (app. 1 to 1 1/2 cup) with Light Kraft Italian dressing. All just 90 calories. It takes me a while to eat this because of the cucumber slices which is why it fills my up, since I"m eating slow it gives my body time to tell me it's getting full.

    Between meals I snack on fruit, fiber one bars, low calorie chocolate pudding or no fat kraft cheese slices on premium plus whole wheat crackers. Any of these snacks with a glass of water keeps me from ever feeling hungry. When I go to have lunch or dinner I eat less because I don't feel hungry.

    ^^^^ This - protein - every time - tuna, chicken, ham, eggs, cottage cheese, low fat yoghurt...... laughing cow cheese triangles - anything as long as it has protein ........and then green tea or water :-)

    Greek yogurt, almonds or pepitas, and an apple, some berries, or other fruit.

    Thanks everyone for the ideas. I am just adding back in carbs to my diet and I think that is what is making me so hungry. I think higher protien snacks is what I need.

    12 almonds (no more!) or a small tub of Greek yoghurt (often with a handful of berries and a tablespoon of flaxseed)... bye bye hunger :-)

    When I am hungry I really need something satisfying or I may stray. I like..

    A greek salad ( arugala,olives, feta cheese and red onions)

    chicken or fish tacos. I get the little corn tortillas from Whole foods. You get 3 for 100cal or so. I load them up with lettuce, tomato, onion, salsa and fresh cilantro and top with lt. sour cream. I skip the cheese because I realise that I don't really miss it.

    I also like baked tilapia and veggies and maybe 1/2C couscous.

    All very filling and satisfying and low on calories.

    If I get hungry, I usually reach for a banana or an apple - the fiber in both seems to fill me up nicely. That and water. I need to start increasing my protein at every meal, which means I need to buy string cheese, tuna, and maybe try those laughing cow things...

    Protein shake-- or fage 0% greek yogurt with pumpkin purree, pumpkin pie spice and walnuts.

    EDIT -- if your're watching sodium -- those laughing cow wedges are loaded with salt (so is cottage cheese and most other cheese)

    Rice is great if you're really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something. - Mitch Hedberg

    I love seasoned black beans from a can - they take like 30 sec in a microwave and you have a savory protein filled bowl of yumminess. The one drawback is if you have a sodium issue. My other favorites are peanut butter on a spoon, rolled up lunchmeat, and protein shakes. :)
