lol! The only time I eat dried fruit is when I'm hiking or backpacking.
It's
easy to digest, doesn't take much room and is easy to eat while I'm
hiking.

Yeah, I started eating dried fruit when on our hiking vacations.
(not much hiking to be done here). I soon realized the punch that
stuff packs. 1/4 cup is not that much for a couple hundred calories
of food. The sugar content caused water retention really fast and
the gas and bloating I get is just not fun!

THe stuff is tasty, you just gotta be careful. I can recall one of
my hiking trips to NC I was gone a week and came back 7lbs heavier.
(I'd been low carbing prior to, so the carb load was overwhelming for
me).

I don't take much with me, but a little bit fills me up and gives me the
carb energy punch I need, especially for the tougher hills.

I have officially been on maintenance for a month. And I find, much to
my disappointment, that I maintained all this weight while eating only
marginally more than what I have been eating during weight loss. I was
hoping that I would not be hungry once I decide to maintain
weight. But no, I am still hungry a good part of the day. Not to the
point of being miserable, but I would like to be less hungry.

Any ideas on how to deal with this...

You might go through your daily vitamin list and make sure you are
getting your daily amount of vitamins and minerals.

I have found that my body will create hunger and cravings because it
is trying to tell me that my body needs a particular amount of a
certain vitamin/s it is not getting in the food I am eating .
