    If you have recently increased your activity then it is possible that it is the reason for your increased hunger. Eat back more of your exercise calories if you're hungry, and make sure you're getting enough fat and protein.

    Also be aware that appetite can fluctuate across your cycle.

    When are you expecting your period? That's usually what it is for me when my hunger is out of the ordinary.

    But yeah, exercise often makes me hungrier. Not ravenous all the time, but definitely eating an extra snack.

    thank you, i felt really guilty last night eatting all of my exercise calories, i try to keep to half, but yesterday was a no go i ended up eatting around 2000 calories which was about 1590 net, seeing that net value doesnt stop the guilt though lol

    Don't feel guilty, that's a useless emotion in weight loss. Yes, MFP overestimates, but you were probably still in a deficit.

    i calculate my calories via a HRM, im hoping its more accurate that mfp.
