Sugar = sugar high, energy, and sugar low = hunger and it happens quicker the worse the quality of sugar or carbs you eat.
Chinese is world reknowned for leaving you ridiculously hungry seconds later, not proper chinese but western sugar laden sources highly refined rice/noodles versions of chinese food with large portions of the carbs rather than small portions like they eat over there, of much better quality rice/noodles.
Eat less carbs, eat more protein and fat, protein and fat fill you up, don't cause blood sugar levels to drop(in your case the single biggest cause of hunger) and are far healthier for you. Likewise drink more water, it fills you up, thirst feels very similar to hunger aswell so even if you're hungry, being hungry and thirsty has the knock on effect of making you feel famished, so you'll end up eating a huge meal and the huge sugar high will be followed by a huge sugar low and bang, massive hunger again.
Tis a vicious circle and the single worst part of it is, if you were taught to eat badly as a kid, you just get used to eating a certain way, its INCREDIBLY difficult to change your lifetime eating habits and thats coming from someone whose been/is in the same situation you are.
So more water, more protein, more fats(mostly more good fats if possible) and less carbs = healthier, easier to lose weight, curbs hunger massively, and if you can stick to it a while cuts the vicious circle that is heavy carb eating.
As I said though, after a couple of decades of eating a heavy carb diet, and a completely unhealthy one, its still incredibly hard to not eat like that, its just "normal" to me and eating healthily isn't normal to me, though I'm hoping at some stage eating healthily becomes the normal stage and eating loads of crap becomes strange and not the first choice when I think about what to eat.
