So I increased my calories to 1500/day (which I always eat all of) and It seems that I am still hungry all the time! I typically eat weight control oatmeal for breakfast with skim milk and I am still hungry! Any ideaS??

Instead of having 3 big meals, I have 5-6 mini meals per day. I find that eating every couple of hours keeps me from being hungry all the time.
Oatmeal is a great choice, I also like to snack on fruits and veggies and try to get in lots of protein as well.0 -

This works for me too. Also, as I know it won`t be long until the next meal it keeps me from overeating.0 -
Protein at every meal,not huge amounts necessarily but protein keeps you full longer.0

more protien.
And I see a lot of days you are under 1k calories...if you log at all then rebound to over 1500...what about exercise ? are you doing any?0 -

Smaller meals through out the day and plenty of water.
I love oatmeal and have it every morning. For snacks I have a greek yogurt, or a piece of fruit, and sometimes I will add in some cashews or almonds. Make your snacks filling.0 -
Oatmeal is a great start, depending on how much you are eating you may want to increase your serving size, or add raisins or craisins and walnuts, make it more filling.
Eat things like chili, soups and salad comobs, soup and sandwhich combos, so you are eating a carb or protein heavy item and a light item, those types of foods tend to be more filling. Depending on how active you are, you may need to eat back some of your activity calories to ensure you are getting the proper nutrition on your weight loss journey.
Also, drink a lot of WATER!!! Drink at least 8-16 ounces of water when you wake up, right before or after you eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, and drink during the day. This will keep you from feeling hungry allt he time. I know water can be difficult to drink but unfortunately, it is essential in weight loss and making sure your body does not retain excess amounts of salt.0 -

my sentiments exactly :laugh:0 -
1. Drink a ton of water.
- sometimes what you think is hunger is your body needing water and sometimes we eat out of habit not out of hunger.
2. If you just started reducing your cals, your stomach is still stretched to hold more food.
- I drink a glass of water and psyllium husk powder from GNC. the extra fiber helps you feel fuller.
3.eat more protein at the beginning of your day.
- protein can help curb cravings and helps you feel fuller longer as well.
4. Practice saying no to yourself.
- If your desire is to be healthy and not just slimmer, then you have to acknowledge that over indulgences can be unhealthy.
Stay strong and good luck!0 -
Focus on putting more protein in your diet. Once I started to to that, I felt fuller for much longer. Also I choose to drink herbal tea often to keep myself busy & full of water, and chewing gum helps too (just to keep the mouth busy)0

Calories in>calories out makes you fat.
The body doesn't care if there's food in the stomach. It needs energy, it uses calories. If it doesn't have enough from your intake, it will use from your stores. That's biology.0 -
I would say make sure your calories really count. I eat breakfast, then a snack, then lunch then a snack, then dinner and then a snack. I do a lot of protien, fruit and veggies, plus drinking a lot of water fills you up. I would say change up how your eating and what your eating and see if you notice a difference and if you work out make sure your eating those calories too.0

How tall are you?
How much do you weigh?
How much do you want to lose each week?0 -
Hunger is my constant companion. I eat about 2k a day and I am still hungry. You just have to learn to deal with being hungry and realizing you are not starving.0

I just took a little peek at your diary, and it seems you are already having some snacks between meals.
I would suggest really increasing your protein to fill you up for longer. Good luck0 -

Whoa.
What you state is not fact. Eating 5-6 mini meals does not make you fat unless you eat more calories than what you burn.0 -
I am curious, what is "weight control oatmeal"?0
