    I seem to be always hungry all the time no matter how much I eat. On days where I stay under calories, it is because I ate a bunch of dill pickles. I buy them in large jars, probably about a gallon or maybe 2 gallon jars. During my last "good" streak, I was eating about 1 jar per day.

    If I feel the need to snack, but am afraid of going over calories, I tend to eat vegetables such as broccoli, celery, or cauliflower. These are low in calories, are great for you, and fill you up fast. (Add a little bit of peanut butter to any of these and they're even better) Also, drinking water does help you to feel full.

    tuna, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, peanut butter . Of course what I want is big mac, fries, whopper, pizza but I don't want to squeeze in my pants so this is it.

    For me I have two kinds of hungry:

    1. Hungry like I could eat hungry.

    2. Hungry like GTF out of my way I need to EAT hungry.

    If it's #1, I try to distract myself or have a cup of coffee or tea or sparkly water to work through the hunger.

    If it's #2, I MUST eat something, so I reallocate my calories or decide to go over. If I have multiple days like this in a short amount of time (this happened to me recently), I consider changing my calorie goals overall because it seems to be a sign that my body needs more.
