    In your coffee do you put a lot of sugar, or creamer that ads calories? If you are not hungry then eat only one meal but be mindful of the calories.

    Eating smaller meals is building up your metabolism which is why you feel hungry a lot faster in between meals!

    I love January on MFP. :D

    But, to be fair, if that disgusting ball of grease had less calories than what you'd expended in the course of the day, then yeah....you'd still lose weight.

    Not to mention that you can still gain or not lose weight even if you only eat "healthy". People on here are just trying to tell you that there's very little benefit to eating 5 small meals a day if that's the only reason you're listening to the dietician. (REGISTERED dietician, right?).

    CICO IS the way to lose weight. Not meal timing or eating only "healthy" foods.

    And it *would* really help if you opened your diary.

    Did anyone ask how long you went eating TDEE minus 500 calories before declaring it wasn't working?

    She has a thread in the fitness section that indicates that she ate at that calorie level for a month or more. That's plenty of time to determine that it wasn't working for her. Whether she cuts her calories on her own or under the advice of her dietician, I think she's moving in the right direction.

    Eating often does make me hungrier. So I stopped that pretty fast.

    I eat meals 2 x a day usually brunch and dinner. I may have a snack or two but that varies. This, in part, helped me get my appetite in better control. I also eat a carb/protien/fat at both meals so that seemed to help as well.

    Thanks. :) I don't venture over to that section often so didn't know.

    I sure hope between yourself and the people you're paying, you can figure it out because you've instantly made many enemies on here. Everyone was just trying to help but we were treated poorly simply because we didn't answer the direct question asked and questioned what you're doing. Why not be more forthcoming with information being asked instead of keeping it all to yourself, stating we know nothing and your dietician knows it all? But, whatever. I'll lose weight using science whether you want to believe in it or not.

    I love the people on MFP. :D

    OP, I wish you luck and hope that eating three largers meals and two snacks makes you less hungry.
