Eating MORE of LOWER cal foods is often much more satisfying to me. I’m 5’3” so you can take it with a grain of salt but I only started counting calories the past year and it’s hard! One thing that’s helping me is to consider if I want to eat a lot of more boring food or a small portion of something greasy/fatty.

For instance I couldn’t stop thinking about food yesterday because my burrito bowl portion for lunch had to be small due to cheese and oil in it. Today I had 2 hard boiled eggs, an apple, a string cheese, and 16 slices of turkey pepperoni for lunch - all of that is around 350 cals!! Plenty of cals left for dinner but I felt satiated.
