Doesn't sound like you eat enough to me.
I'd be constantly hungry on that amount.
Eating full fat foods ... yoghurt butter etc .... none of this semi skimmed fat free stuff will fill you up and help you lose weight and control you blood sugars and lower your cholesterol.
I know how crazy that sounds because I didn't believe it either when I first arrived here.
But by ignoring the doctors and nurses I've lost weight and become much healthier.
Go to this page and read all the way to the bottom .... slowly.
Read it more than once like go back to it another day.

Keep coming back and asking questions.
I've just had a snack of pork scratchings .... almost 100% fat.
Very tasty and very healthy for me.
Fat doesn't make you fat.
Sugar makes you fat.
High carb foods .... rice bread spuds noodles all breakfast cereals are converted to glucose very fast inside you ... that's what you want to avoid .... it's what you're measuring on your meter.
Nurse will tell you weetabix is best ... it's not.
Once it has cinverted rapidly to glucose it will make you hungry shortly afterwards.
Carbs fill you up but leave you empty feeling very fast so weetabix and such foods actually make you hungry.
Stick with us and it will start to make sense.
