Safe or Not?

Hey everyone,

I'm Noli, I'm 31 and 6'1". I've been dealing with being overweight all my life, except for 5 yrs when I was in the Marines. I've been out for 7 years now and hit my peak at 310lbs last year. January 1st of this year my wife and I decided to divorce which made something in me snap. I decided my weight was way too high and I finally decided to do something about it. I starved myself for about 2 weeks, eating only one piece of chicken a day, to get my body used to the low food intake, and started hiking, and playing softball weekly. Now I'm 250 lbs and feel amazing. I'm eating more now but still feel like crap if I let myself eat more than 1000 calories in a day. I'm an engineer so most of my work days are spent in front of a computer and I eat about a half cup of roasted unsalted sunflower kernels all day until dinner when I might eat a piece of chicken or a steak (just protein). However lately, and specifically today, I noticed that after my 7 mile hike, I was so hungry I ate two pieces of chicken breast, salad, green beans, and two small slices of pizza. Is my body trying to tell me something or is this normal every now and then?
