Thanks everyone. I am feeling alittle bit calmer now even though I kindof pigged out on some nuts sigh
I am diabetic and they said I really gotta watch my carbs no more then 200 a day. Which is hard because adding calories for alot of things also adds carbs and it is so easy to go over on those lol.
I have been eating the weight watchers cheese maybe I can switch to normal that might be more calories I am not sure.
I try adding more meat in. I am not a vegetarian but I have always eaten very little meat. But it definitly seems to make me get full so much faster as well.
Thanks MugCanDoIt I will check out that thread!
Here is a link to my food journal:

But like for example this is what I ate yesterday:
Breakfast- 372 calories 55 carbs 9 fat 21 protein
made french toast with frozen berries warmed up on top:
Egg, fresh, 1 large
Schwebel's Sweet Harvest Wheat Bread, 2 serving
Berry Medly- Starberries, Blackberries, Blueberries, Red Rasberries, 0.5 cup Milk, 1%, 1 cup
Lunch- 427 calories 49 carbs 12 fat 33 protein
grilled cheese sandwhich, cottage cheese & a small salad:
Schwebel's Sweet Harvest Wheat Bread, 2 serving
Kraft Singles American Cheese, 1 serving
Deli Select Ultra Thin Mesquite Turkey, 1 serving
Cottage Cheese 1%, 0.5 cup
Cucumber (peeled), 4 slice
Iceberg Lettuce (salad),
Baby Spinach,
Kraft Light Ranch Dressing,
*I only added the cottage cheese to try and up the calories and boy was I stuffed so much afterwards lol
Dinner- 460 calories 40 carbs 10 fat 52 protein
Tyson Boneless, Skinless Chicken Tenderloins, 2 serving
Valley Fresh Steamers Cheesy Rice & broccoli, 1 serving
Iceberg Lettuce (salad),
Baby Spinach,
Cucumber (peeled), 3 slice
Kraft Light Ranch Dressing,
I couldnt finish all of this dinner and actually felt like i over ate.
Snack- 140 calories 29 carbs 3 fat 2 protein
Fiber One Chewy Bars Oats & Strawberries w/ almonds, 1 serving
I also planned on also eating some mixed nuts which are 170 calories & a cheese stick but I never got to because i just wasn't hungry.
The total for the day was 1,399 calories 173 carbs 34 fat 108 protein but I ate more then usual and was stuffed all day!
I do think part of it is that before I would generally only eat once or twice a day and totally stuff myself that one time and almost never a meal. For example I would just eat a pizza or a huge pot of pasta. Or if I didn't do that I would snack all day instead. So I am not used to eating real meals and maybe that is why they are so filling?
