Honestly. My maintenance is 2300 cals, and some times I'm still starving after that, two days this past week i ate 3000 cals!
How do some people claim they're too full after 1200 cals? :noway:

Because we fill up on low calorie foods. It's easy to eat a large amount, be full and still be under 1200 calories.0 -

Everyone's body and appetite is different, and different kinds of food will keep you full longer than others.0

It is the second most ridiculous first world problem, complaining about having a hard time eating enough. The ultimate fwp being, complaining how hard it is to drink water.

Might I suggest you divide your day into 3 meals and 3 snacks.
Breakfast, Morning Tea, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Dinner (tea), and Supper.
You need approx 2 to 2.5 hours between each.
You need to drink 2 glasses of water with each meal and one with each snack.
Don;t go to bed until 2 hours after your supper snack.
Always try to eat protein for breakfast. For example eggs.
I hope this helps you.

I wonder if its reverse psychology ? Tell yourself you aren't hungry and you dont feel as hungry?0 -

Hey “fluffy,” how tall and big are you, what is your age, are you a man or a woman, how much do you workout, what is your TDEE and your BMR?
Did it occur to you a small/petite/short female may not need or be able to eat a lot of calories a day? We are all different, and calories requirement, macros and calorie burning are not the same for everybody.
Go ahead, eat and enjoy your 3000 calories a day with my blessings; and don’t worry about the rest of the people. What we do will not affect your progress0 -
I eat roughly 1200-1300 calories a day and I can tell you I, personally, have a hard time eating more than that. My TDEE is 1500. I have no idea how I am supposed to eat that many calories in one day. I usually don't eat breakfast (Taboo, I know, but I don't), I eat lunch, snack, dinner, snack (I'm a night person). For lunch, I'll usually have half a chicken breast in a salad, carrots, half an apple, and maybe two bottles of water. For supper I'll have whatever my mother in law makes and maybe two or more bottles of water. For snack I usually eat some dry cereal (my favourite), maybe yogurt, maybe some fruits/vegetables. After all that, I'm usually pretty stuffed. I don't even get hungry throughout the day at all, I just know it's time for me to eat, so I do. I don't understand how you can eat 2300 calories! That's seems like a lot too me! Haha.0

If I ate 3 cups of carrots and broccoli I wouldn't be able to even eat the chicken.0 -
I occasionally eat an entire bag of frozen vegetables for lunch. 150 calories total, but it's 5 servings. I'm stuffed after that for quite awhile. Also, I am rarely hungry after working out, or if it's really hot/humid out. On those days, I sometimes find it hard to eat my 1400 calories. It has nothing to do with not wanting to eat too much, it's just not wanting to force myself to eat if I'm not hungry.0

dont eat so fast takes like 20 minutes for your brain to tell your belly youre full0 -
Some people have eating disorders and think that high calorie tasty foods are on the 'naughty' list and should be avoided.
Therefore they struggle to eat 1200 calories because all they're eating is rabbit food.0 -

Fullness = protein + fat.
Eat fats.0 -
Never happens to me :sad:0

5'2" / 114lb / 18 / Female
NROLW 3 times a week (M,W,F), half-marathon training (T,Th), backpacking 20lb, 8 - 14 miles (Sat)
I don't have a Fitbit, HRM or have had my BMR / RMR tested so I don't know my exact TDEE. I try to stick around 2300 calories and at least 150g of protein.
Even when I'm incredibly inactive, like during testing seasons (just graduated high school), and I'm not doing much, I have a roaring appetite.
But seriously, I've been on MFP long enough to see females who are 5'8 and 200lb that do an hour of cardio a day, then say they can't eat more than 1200 calories.0 -
You know what's hard? Not eating too much of all the delicious, delicious foods. That's hard.0

Do you really think the calorie requirement of an 18 yo female is the same as a middle age woman?0

I can get full off of 1300-1400 cals if i've eaten properly all day, because I make sure each of my meals is at least 15+ protien, even my snacks have protien (if I can help it) so that I can still lift while on a deficit... but when I do that the protien a lot of times is still sitting on my stomach towards the next meal time... I mostly have trouble keeping up on workout days (eating back all those exercise cals) So I guess I have more problems eating closer to the 2000 mark But if I eat junk, aka my old way of eating, I can eat and eat and eat (how I got here lol) Also I don't skip on carbs, which makes me even fuller during the meal0 -
My thoughts exactly. Although 1,200 may be just a bit too little for me, 1,600 cals is more than filling and I can certainly see how it would differ for others (height, time spent working out, etc...). Truthfully though, I don't really understand why I see so many people on this site bashing others for eating 1,200 cals. Everybody is not built equally.0
