am i just not eating enough.
cause it feels like i have eaten quite a bit.

have a salad. or an apple. they help a ton.

That doesn't look like a lot of calories. Have you logged it all? What's the total? Maybe you're hungry because you haven't eaten enough.

Might I suggest just eating a little bit more, whether you remain within your calorie range or not, and then possibly taking in slightly less tomorrow in an attempt to balance it out? (ie. Have some a piece of fruit or two and if that's regularly what you'd eat for breakfast or lunch, pass it up but only for that day, and get back into your regular routine later)

Hope this helps!

PS - Soymilk and EB? ... You're not a vegan, are you? :)

I had Thai Kitchen today too! (if that's what you're talking about). I second trying an apple- they usually fill me up when I'm hungry at the end of the day.

You're probably hungry because you haven't given you body enough food and definitely not enough protein! 

Besides obviously needing to eat more, protein will help you feel full longer because it takes longer to burn.

Why are you eating so little?

No protein.  Protein and fiber is what will help you to carry over.

 I would be starving if I were you.  What would be more satiating would be to cut out the processed grains and dried fruits, and eat some fresh fruits, leafy green vegetables, salad greens, and some beans.

A 1/4 cup of brocolli isn't enough green vegetables.   By processed grains, I'm talking about flour products like cold cereals and pastas.  Less processed stuff stuff would be more filling, and beans in particular are a good filling thing to add.  I agree with the person who said that salads and apples would help a lot.  Thinks very big when it comes to those non-starchy vegetables.  You can eat a pretty large volume without overdoing the calories, and the fiber will really help to fill you up.
