I am 9 months out and hungry most of the time.  After I eat lately, I am looking at the clock for when the next time I can eat is.  I try and drink water, or crystal light, decaf tea etc when it happens but it doesn't seem to always help.  I don't know if it's head hunger or real hunger but I could eat every 1/2 hour if I let myself.  I take karate 3 days a week for exercise.

Here's what I ate yesterday:
Pre B: 1/2 cup coffee, cream
on route to work: hot Click
B: 3/4 cup Fage 0% Yogurt , 3 sliced strawberries
S1: Cliff Peanut Butter Pretzel MoJo Bar
L: Grilled chicken thigh (w/o skin) / 1 cup garden salad, 2 tbls ff dressing/ 1 oz cheddar chz
S2: banana
S3: Nature Valley Peanut Butter Granola Bar
D: 2 Taco with beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato and salsa
S4: Chocolate-Peanut Butter Protein Pie

According to Fitday this is about 1431 cals / 100.4 protein / 145.5 carbs
Maybe too many carbs?

Anyone have some suggestions or ideas from you people that are further out?

I'm wondering about the snacks..I don't know a lot about those bars, but maybe they aren't filling?  Do they have 10g of protein?  I use a protein bar for a snack and that usually keeps me for a while.. so maybe that would change things.-

Yes, I agree.  I think (from what was said on the main board also) that I need to reeval my snack choices and make them higher protein, less carbs.  Maybe Pure Protein bars would be better for me, they are denser and stats are better I think.  I need to get this under control, b/c if I am always hungry I will make bad choices and don't want that to happen.  Thanks Sue!
