Increased appetite after losing weight..??

I’m another one who’s ravenous just 90minutes after my morning porridge. Even though I use 55g of oats so well over the recommended portion size.

It sounds like you’ve certainly identified a few things to explore with your macros that could explain things.

I also wondered if maybe now you’ve been tracking for a while, perhaps you’ve also become better/more honest with your logging? Eg newbies often underestimate portion sizes or use bad database values but experience and weighing helps us to correct this. Perhaps to a slight degree you’re eating not as many more calories as you think but it just comes out as more in your diary as you’re logging more truly? Just throwing it out there as an idea...

^^ I am not a low carber by any stretch, but I do notice if I eat high carb for breakfast, I'm hungry much much faster, and for the rest of the day, I just can't seem to get enough. E.g. oatmeal. Totally love the stuff, but I have to eat it in the afternoon as a snack. If I eat it first thing, I can't quell the ravenous.

I've just started eating oats for breakie almost every day. That could be it

I can't eat oatmeal for breakfast, or I'm also starving about 1-2 hours later. I'm better off if I eat nothing than if I eat cereal or oatmeal only for breakfast.

Same. Breakfast in general tends to trigger overeating the rest of the day. Is definitely pattern when I go through diary. The days I struggle to not snack or tend to want to keep eating, are the days I have breakfast. My best breakfast is a 240 calorie latte. I may be drinking my calories here but it works for me. Am sure it’s just the protein/fat that makes difference. If I know I have a higher calorie day ahead of me, eating out/party, I just have a double espresso with a tablespoon of heavy whipping cream. That works too but I tend to prefer having my latte as part of morning ritual. It makes me happy. Lol.

I know this is a throwback but Ghrelin Blowback can happen after a large weight loss.
The first time I ate it all back and ghrelin blowback came roaring in. This time I aimed for .5 lbs a week but it actually went much slower than that, taking 2.5 years.

I've been researching that ghrelin blowback hunger that can drive, drive, drive you to eat it all back after a large weight loss. Probiotics/eating more probiotic foods has really helped me this time and I am not experiencing that roaring ghrelin hunger. Here's one link, you can do your own research.

"In conclusion, thylakoids when added to food are powerful promoters of satiety and suppressors of hunger, in particular hedonic hunger. The mechanism is a late satiety, by the use of the whole intestine for digestion of food. In this way satiety hormones are released from the distal intestine, the ileal break, providing information to the brain that satiety has been achieved and a reduced urge for snacking. Since snacking is an important contributor to the global epidemic of obesity today, the consumption of thylakoids may aid in the prevention of this epidemic. The effects of thylakoids are summarized."
