How can I manage daytime hunger?
Start with structure. Anchor meals around protein, add high-volume produce or other fiber-rich foods, and use carbs and fats deliberately, rather than accidentally. Protein and fiber are two of the most reliable levers for satiety in a calorie-controlled diet.
Then look at the environment. If snacks are visible, meetings are stressful, sleep is poor, and lunch is tiny, hunger will feel like a character flaw even when the system is the problem. Make the desired behavior easier: planned meals, backup foods, water, walking breaks, and fewer cue-heavy foods within arm's reach.
