I struggle with many of the same issues as you.
I think you may have answered your own question in this post:

One valuable thing I've learned from working with the naturopath over these last weeks is that it is better to eat 3 solid meals a day, plus snacks as needed. I've learned not to trust my hunger, because I'm rarely hungry. I used to graze all day like you, and assumed I was getting enough nourishment, but I wasn't. It's easy to overestimate how much you eat, I found. Maybe you should focus on not "underdoing" lunch, or any meal. It really makes a huge difference in how you feel. I find if I don't get adequate calories at breakfast and lunch, I am more likely to have an adrenaline rush, which usually happens at around 3 -4 pm for me. I know you say you're struggling with weight, so it's a catch-22, just something to consider...
Do you ever eat liver?
What would you say are your main issues right now?
I haven't really been around this forum that long, but I would also agree with this as this is also my experience. The need to eat enough food and it is hard when trying to limit starches. I have eggs for breakfast too but with some rice cakes to mop up moisture from oj and coffee. Oftentimes I can't do coffee and oj during the same meal. Too much liquid for me. I try to add more salt to my oj. Then for lunch I now have a portion of ice-cream and portion of low fat ricotta or strained cottage cheese (to limit the amount of ice-cream and fat), sweetened with fructose powder and some fruit as much as my body allows me and more rice cakes. For me a big thing I noticed was to control the amount of liquid. Actually, it was a HUGE thing for me, managing my liquid intake, as too much was triggering anxiety and panic attacks. :) And adding salt to liquids. Maybe get a consultation with Benedicte or Danny Roddy that could help you with proper thyroid dosing instead of seeing a doctor?
