  • I don't know how much you weight, your height and age etc to know what your caloric intake should be, but it seems like you are eating enough if you are around 1500+++.

What I have done to get it under control a bit is, to make sure throughout the day I am eating every 3 hours and that there is always protein involved in every meal.
