Still have nagging hunger

jennifernapier22

My goal right now is to lose 6lbs (I'm 131 and want to be 125)...I have no trouble filling up my calories and I usually hit the macros within a reasonable guideline, but at the end of the day I find myself with a nagging hunger feeling. At the moment I'm in that boat and I have 3 calories left for the day. Is there anything I can do? And how much is a reasonable amount to go over the calories (if there even is a reasonable amount...I'm thinking 5-10 wouldn't make much difference)

Eat a little something and plan a little better tomorrow. It will be ok.

When I get that hunger I eat cucumbers! Gives the crunch and satisfies the nagging hunger. In fact I'm eating some as I type this lol

When I'm in a tricky deficit and trying to lose the last few pounds, I know I'm going to need something to fill me up at night. I will usually pre-log the ingredients for protein fluff. You can make a very basic one for less than 200 calories and trust me, you will not want to eat anything else after you finish a bowl of that. I can also eat 350-400 grams of cucumber (1.5-2 cucumbers) with chipotle sauce. That's about 50-60 calories and can fill me up. Yellow peppers with chili paste...Just think of some things around 100 calories that you can get decent volume from.

This is an excellent choice. You can eat alot of cucumbers and even carrots for low calorie amount. Have some tea or water with this.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I gave in last night and ate a 90 calorie bar. Today I've focused more on eating filling foods (and not wasting calories)...hopefully it works out better!
