I think Sultana may have hit the nail with the protein approach. I'm was a rather skinny guy all my life untill i turned 23 and started to gain weight. I could mantain a 4000 - 5000 calories a day diet and not gain a single pound. My metabolism was amazingly fast and i never weight over 125lbs (i'm 5'10''). When i turned 23 something happened to my metabolism and i started to gain weight up to 175lbs where i'm at now with a diet of 3000 calories a day. I was used to eat like crazy and al of the sudden i wasn't able to do so if i didn't wanted to become overweight, so i started to eat less but oh my GOD!!! iwas starving all the time, i ate a lot of fruits but it didn't help with the hunger, untill a friend recommended me drinking a protein shake at mid morning and another in the afternoon. My food cravings totally disappeard and i felt satisfied for longer periods of time and the best of all was that each shake was only 250 calories each. That and drinkig lots of water, helped me changing my eating habits.
