How to stick to a diet?

This will sound really silly, but im having trouble adhering to a 2000 calorie diet. I used to be able to diet at 1250 or even lower calories because my feeling of being hungry dissapeared after a week.

I work out a lot and do tons of cardio, and a decent amount of strenght training too.

Last week i binged twice. Because of these binges i avaraged at 2500 calories taken a day instead of 2000. I binged because i just came from the gym and handt eaten.

It's because you train a lot now. If you workout a lot, eat your exercise calories back. My goal is around 1860 cals and I eat my exercise calories back. Or you may have to cut back on cardio to balance out your hunger.

Do you find you're as hungry on non training days? Perhaps toggle calories so you allow yourself more on training days to account for your hunger

It might also be worth looking at your macros, try playing around with them to see if you can find a more satisfying mix.
