Soooo hungry in the afternoon

I do! You can look at my diary if you'd like (Monday through Friday are the best examples). I try to keep most of my meals between 200-300 calories a piece, and my snacks between 100-200 calories a piece. I've been struggling to get all my calories in at the end of the day, but I am improving.

3 big meals here while cutting cals.
I skip breakfast and just eat huge meals in the afternoon/evening.

I always start my day with juicing in the morning at like 7am. Then around 9am I have a good breakfast. Usually some form of eggs and veggies or oatmeal. Then lunch around 1230. I never have a problem of being hungry and never go over my calories.

Try googling some Hungry Girl breakfast recipes. Her's usually always have protein and low calorie.

I usually have three meals and two snacks. I haven't been logging consistently but I've got my food in for yesterday and today, if you want to check it out. They're pretty typical days for me.

just try to keep your snacks under 200 calories, i tried doing this with the food lovers system, but couldnt stick to it because i was having trouble getting snacks in between meals while i was working (i take a lunch break, and no other breaks, i work in a nursing home and am on the go) and i felt like i was eating when i wasnt hungry, but if u are hungry, eat. that's what i do now, sometimes i have a snack after work, if i am hungry, if i'm not hungry, i don't

I do 3 meals and 2-3 snacks a day. It seems to help my blood sugar stay level and keep the cravings away. It also keeps me full so that I don't overindulge at night. When I was pregnant with my children (many years ago), I was gestational diabetic and the dietician I met with suggested this way of eating. It worked very well then and when I decided to be serious about losing weight this time, I went back to that way of eating. I eat protein at every meal/snack and at meals eat no more than 60 grams of carbs (although most of the time my carb consumption is much closer to 45). At snacks I eat about 15 grams of carbs. Hope this helps some.

3 meals + 2 snacks and it seems to be working fine. I'm not much for breakfast (I'm not a morning person) so I drink a Carnation Breakfast shake with 1% milk. Lunch is around noon-12.30 and supper 6-7. What I have depends on if my husband is home from work. I have a snack of walnuts/almonds or string cheese or a tortilla with PB and margarine at 3.30ish and another at 9.30ish.

For being so hungry, are you setting yourself to lose 2# a week? If you are, I suggest lowering that to 1#/week and seeing if you're still starving. I know that feeling, but I had to cut myself off from boredom eating which is what I did all the time.

You could try to get in about 5-6 meals a day, 2-3 hours apart. Yes, breakfast is the key.... that can contain more calories as you have the entire day to burn them off...then scale down throughout the day. Another way is for the 3 meals to be the larger meals and the two in-between snacks to be light. Try it different ways, but stay consistent on the times between meals (2-3 hrs between). Have a healthy snack between breakfast and lunch and also between lunch and dinner....usually protein and a fruit or some combination like that. Keep up with the water...making sure you drink a full 8oz. before each meal...(I used to try to drink a gallon a day) over time (maybe a couple weeks to a month - each person being different) your body will "tune in" to the new routine and you will burn the food accordingly. I found that I would get hungry every 2-3 hours like clockwork once this became a routine....it was AMAZING!!! You can do it!!!

I have always strongly resisted eating 5 or 6 meals per day. I figured I'd consume more calories that way and, perhaps most truthfully, I felt that it was somehow cheating, that I should be able to have the will power to eat 3 meals only, with no "cheating" snacks between meals. So I'd vow not to cheat and ultimately give up after some period because I was always hungery. But since I started MFP almost two months ago, I've been eating 5 or 6 meals most days, with a fruit and lean protein as a typical snack or sometimes just a regular small meal in mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and after dinner. I'm almost never hungry unless I skip a meal or wait way past my normal meal/snack times because I'm shopping, busy, etc. I think the best thing I've discovered this time is how great it is to eat low glycemic, healthy foods, which also reduce sugar crash hunger pain. But the second best thing by far is how helpful it has been to eat 5 or 6 meals per day. With the combination of those two things, I almost never struggle to stay at or below my calorie goal; in fact, I often have to force myself to eat a big dinner and a meal after that to keep from eating too far below my daily calorie target (without even counting my exercise calories). Just my experience.
