I'm hungry all the time

There's no fats in your diet and too many carbs. Besides fats being essential nutrients your body needs, they also slow down the digestion of other foods and keep you from feeling hungry for longer periods. Break up your food into six mini meals so you only go 2-3 hours between and add some fats to your diet in place of some carbs and you'll be a lot less hungry with the same total calories per day.
Also, drink lots of water all through the day. A full glass of water can often stall your hunger for another half hour or more.0 -
Don't eat carbs without pro.. add pro to your snacks.. done.0

i am going with this one for OPs shredded wheat bowl...0 -
try the fitness frog mentioned above. At 5'10" you should be able to lose weight on way more than 1200 cals.well I have pics in my profile. Im about 5'10 and thatd be a lot of food for me.
:flowerforyou:
but that's not 1200 calories. the two bowls of shredded wheat could be 1200 alone
SOOOOO true. Be really careful. Those mixing bowls aren't meant to be cereal bowls.

thats what I'm thinking, 12-1300, no wonder she so hungry,eat more!how many calories per day is that?
that sounds like barely 1200…..0 -
Well she's saying that OP eats 2 cups of shredded wheat + milk, twice a day.
So that would be 4 cups of that + say 3 cups milk? That's about 1030 calories. Her math is not a lot off... But who wants to eat that much shredded wheat?!0 -

For realz. Even if it was frosted mini wheats, all the good stuff would melt off in all that milk anyway, then it wouldn't be worth eating anymore.0 -

if the good stuff melts away then it has less calories, right?0 -

All I can suggest is cut back on the wheat products, I am not suggesting gluten free, but there was certainly a lot of wheat based products in your diet.
I have tried most food maintenance methods and the only thing that works for me is limiting sugar (basically snacks), wheat (Bread/pastas etc) and beer. Instead I have a couple eggs in morning, skip the oatmeal/bread and add some turkey bacon for more proteins, lunch I stick to fish or chicken to implement some good fats and again more proteins, dinner is all over the map but again, say no to the bread/buns/rolls/pastas/wheat products and throw some good carbs and if your working out at all, more protein is not going to hurt.
Make sure you figure out how many calories you need to be eating per day and get near that amount!!!
As mike from NY said...add water.. not sure what your drinking now but in between meals keep a water bottle on the go (I find a some herbal teas work well for me as well to keep me fuller feeling)
In closing all I can say is EVERYONE in my opinion seems to have different triggers that help them lose or gain weight... so track all your food and workouts using this great website (I also use a bodymedia device) and make adjustments to your diet to see what works.
good luck.

Log your meals and check your macros. Eat at least 1g of protein for every pound...add more fat. simple cards like fruit (which is basically sugar) and bread (can also be mostly simple carbs aka sugars) will spike your blood sugar and when it crashes, this is what makes you feel starving.0

Protein will keep you fuller longer. Also water. Fresh veggies are great too!
greek yogurt
Morning; 2 eggs, bowl of shredded wheat (Try a piece of whole wheat toast here with your eggs. or a piece of fruit.)
Snack; peanut butter(not much) and jelly on whole wheat (Peanut butter is not the enemy here. Try it with celery.)
Lunch; lean meat on whole wheat, salad, piece of fruit (Try salad with grilled chicken)
Snack; piece of fruit
Dinner; lean meat, lots of veggies
Snack; bowl of shredded wheat
Above is a sample of what I eat.0 -
You can have a snack that isn't sugar...0

no offense, but restricting foods because one thinks they are bad will more then likely lead to binging out said foods, which leads to overeating, and then failure….0 -

I hear you. I lost weight eating 1420 NET. Now I feel like I'm dying if I eat less than 1700.0 -
Your right. More than likely but not always. I tend to do better without the processed carbs. For me they are bad.0
-
that's a lot of food. 2 eggs AND shredded wheat? I would split those meals up into a meal plus snacks- and eat more protein
lunch is a sandwich a salad and a piece of fruit? that's a meal and a snack to me
and skip that last bowl of shredded wheat
youre probably hungry because youre used to eating a lot and often
I'm sorry but are you insane? That is NOT a lot of food at all. If you think that's a lot of food, I don't even know what you'd have to say about my food diary.0 -
OP: A typical day for me is the following:
Breakfast: 1 cup Kashi Go Lean cereal (170 calories) with 1 cup almond milk unsweetened (30 calories), Greek yogurt (120 calories), and two apple chicken sausage links (120 calories)
Lunch: 4-5 oz. grilled chicken (150 calories), 1 cup brown rice (150 calories), 1 or 2 cups of broccoli (30 or 60 calories)
Snack: Special K milk chocolate protein shake (190 calories)
Pre workout: Small red apple (50 calories), 1/2 Quest bar (95 calories)
Post workout: 1/2 Quest bar (95 calories)
Dinner: 4-5 oz. meat or salmon (150-200 calories), 1 cup brown rice (150 calories) or a medium sweet potato (160 calories), 1 or 2 cups of a veggie (30-60 calories)
Snack: 24 whole wheat crackers (Kellogg Special K brand, 120 calories), RF sharp cheddar cheese stick (60 calories)
I eat roughly 150/160 g protein per day and 60 g fiber per day. Fat intake is between 40-60 g. Increase your protein, fiber, and fat intake.
I usually eat about 2000 calories daily, but I burn 500-600 calories through exercise daily.0 -
Hi in the past 2 months I changed my eating habits and started exercising regularly and I'm hungry often. I tried the 5-6 meal a day and it isn't helping. I'm 5'10" and weigh 163 lbs and want to maintain weight maybe lose some belly fat.
I don't know what info to post or where to start.
Morning; 2 eggs, bowl of shredded wheat
Snack; peanut butter(not much) and jelly on whole wheat
Lunch; lean meat on whole wheat, salad, piece of fruit
Snack; piece of fruit
Dinner; lean meat, lots of veggies
Snack; bowl of shredded wheat
Above is a sample of what I eat.
I'm shorter, a woman, can't exercise because of my knee and I'm losing weight AND EATING MUCH MORE THAN THIS. I think you're a bit silly:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
i don't think OP ever came back ….0

after years of 6-7 meals a day, and constantly being hungry, I tried less meals, but bigger meals. tada - less hunger! eating more often may not be the solution to stopping the hunger.
I like eating more volume, so on top of my protein and fat at each meal (to keep me feeling full longer), I choose less calorie dense options so I get to eat more. I choose vegie carbs over bread or rice or pasta most of the time. I love vegies though, so this isn't an issue for me 0 -

What the freaking heck?
This menu barely sounds like 1,200 and you think she should eat less?0 -
how many calories per day is that?
that sounds like barely 1200…..
^this
The leading cause of hunger is not enough food.0 -
My thoughts exactly. I eat double the amount of food at 1,200...0

One thing that jumps out at me is all the wheat that you are eating. I had trouble feeling hungry all the time and thought it was due to diabetes. Not so. I read this book called "Wheat Belly", by William Davis (cardiologist) - really gives you many reasons to stop the wheat. You will notice your weight will come off and you will not be hungry all the time. Before I stopped the wheat - I would feel hungry and just never really felt full.0
