Hi Carol,

If you're hungry, eat! Have some cheese or other fat and protein snack. Maybe your meals need to be a bit bigger or to have more fat if you're hungry so soon.

Your Fitday meals don't look too bad although "tweaking" is always possible. I would decrease the protein a little and increase the fat.
The folks with experience here have found that aiming at around 70% (of your calories) fat, 25% protein and 5% carbs works well.
I don't know how to move your entries to the bit of Fitday I use where I simply feed in all I've eaten and it comes up as percentages.

I would also increase the vegies. Did you know that you subtract the carbs from fibre? That means your carb counts are actually quite low.

I'd still suggest you start a journal here. Many of us post our food in our journal here and go to Fitday to get the stats. The beauty of a journal here is that others can pop in regularly to encourage and support and also just for friendship.

Keep up the good work, matey!

Rosebud
