I use this stuff when I'm having trouble with hunger:
http://www.amazon.com/Better-Than-Bouil ... B00016LAFM It's usually about $5 a jar at my local grocery store. 1 teaspoon in a cup of hot water and I'm a happy camper. It's only 10 calories too, and a jar makes 36 cups.
I can't eat at lunchtime, because I get way too hungry and I way overeat. I have to either suck it up until dinner time or just go over.
Reducing your calories not-as-drastically three days a week still yields a big calorie deficit
@TracieknitsI was reading the reviews of this product and this review was in there

I enjoy this product immensely. Good clean flavor, not at all chemical or artificial tasting, and feel-good organic, to boot. BUT, But I must say that I am quite puzzled by the nutrition information on the jar label. According to my label a 1 teaspoon serving has 11 calories, 4 g fat, 1 g carb, and 42 gr protein. This is impossible. 1g fat=9 calories, 1 g carb=4 calories, 1 g protein = 4 calories. So, this product, if it does indeed have the quantities of nutrients that the label says it has, should have 36 fat calories, 4 carb calories and 168 protein calories, with a total of 208 calories per teaspoon. As you see, the label must be incorrect, either with the calorie count or the nutrients count.
I took a look at the organic vegetable base and it has a similar disparity in its nutrient/calorie count.
So which is it? 11 or 208 calories? It makes a big difference to me, as I am watching my fat and overall calorie intake.
To make matters more confusing the Amazon add says "naturally fat free. Now I'm even more flummuxed.Are calories cumulative like that? 11 versus 208 is a lot of diff.
