    Some of you guys are funny, My cookie comment was a reply to a poster. I have a cookie about once a month. My weakness food is chocolate, anything chocolate. I probably need to eat more fruits and veggies. I eat a green salad everyday, but I guess I need more. I grab and go a lot, so I will monitor what is in that stuff. At 43, I can't eat like I used too. Thank y'all for the advice and suggestions. It helps and I really appreciate it :heart:

    Figure out your BMR. If you're eating under it, then your deficit is probably too high for you.

    Challenge accepted.

    My thoughts exactly. This is an individual that clearly doesn't understand the fine art of binge eating <insert sarcasm font here>.

    I'm hungry all the time, too, even eating the calories I burn exercising. And I don't seem to be losing any weight, which causes me to get mad and then sabotage myself with a day or so of bad eating. Sound familiar, anyone?

    Hungry all the time .....try a few different things, not everyone is the same.

    Protein, fat, and fiber ALL help you stay full. I need a combination of these (2 of 3 works) but just protein doesn't cut it for me.... I'm hungry fairly quickly.

    So a filling breakfast for me is: greek yogurt, high fiber cereal, and a few nuts sprinkled in...... or steel cut oats made with milk and powdered peanut butter..... you could add a few walnuts instead of powdered peanut butter.

    A snack would be fruit & a light cheese wedge, or a TBL or nut butter & fruit, or veggies & hummus

    Re: eating the calories you are burning ...... this is a good thing, but calorie burns provided by MFP and machines can be inflated. Try to get a couple sources for calorie burns, and be conservative.... or use a heart rate monitor (if it's cardio).
