1st Trimester

Always hungry, any foods to help?

I clearly must be doing something wrong eating wise.  I have always been a little underweight/thin naturally, always eaten healthy, etc... but since becoming pregnant I am ALWAYS hungry.  It seems to be getting worse and worse.  I also get kind of dizzy easily when I am so hungry.  I am even hungry a half hour after eating a huge meal.  I don't eat meat but do eat a lot of other protein sources.  Here is a small sample of my daily eating.  If anyone knows of any good things to include to help with the hunger I would really appreciate it.

breakfast: 1 smoothie (1 cup greek yogurt, 1 banana, 1/3 avocado, 1 cup strawberries, 1/4 cup blueberries, 1/4 cup raspberries, 1/2 cup milk)

snack: 1 service nuts (almonds, walnuts, or cashews), 1 whole wheat rice cake.

lunch: 1 serving protein (either tofu, eggs, salmon, or beans), 1 serving whole grains (usually quinoa, but sometimes brown rice or brown pasta), 2 servings veggies, 1 serving cheese.

snack: 1 piece fruit + wholewheat  crackers and peanut butter.

dinner:  Pretty much same as lunch but more protein and more veggies.

snack: Fruit.

I feel like all I do is eat, yet I am still hungry!   Any ideas what can help?  I am going to ask my doctor as well at my appointment on Friday.  Thanks!
