    Tuck, my initial thought is you're not getting protein each time you eat....protein helps your full feeling last longer.

    Sometimes I keep boiled eggs handy in the fridge. Straight protein, good with some fresh veggies for a snack. (well, okay, that was before Crohn's One day I'll know what I can and can not eat again!)

    Good luck, girl. You've got to make sure you aren't too hungry so that you can keep going!

    I've been eating more protein and feeling fuller. Most days I have 1/2 cup cottage cheese as a mid-morning snack. Or plain non fat yogurt with 1/2 cup blueberries. I'm not as hungry now.

    getting protein into breakfast

    I know eating the same thing all the time isn't wise, but this is what works for me -- a 1 egg + 2 egg whites scrambled, then something on the side, like tomato slices, or apple wedges and a T of peanut butter. I'll separate the eggs the night before (I'm messy), put all 3 in a plastic container with a lid, then in the morning just shake et voila! scrambled eggs, ready to pour in the pan. I may not eat lunch til 1 or 2, so I'm usually armed with a bag of plain almonds and a cheese stick for the mid-morning grumps. Granted, my commute is just a 7 mile ride, but my 3-eggs-light plus a side has always carried me through.
