Still hungry? -___-

EthanJeremiahsMama

There's times where I catch myself STILL hungry after eating a good meal with a good amount of protein.. geeeeze. Sometimes it just seriously BUGS me out because I wanna go back to the kitchen and snack on something! But i'm already over my carb intake by a little bit so.. what should I do?! Haha yikes Drinking water isn't helping it either and I haven't been to the gym today.. sigh.

If you're hungry, you should eat. I used to go over carbs all the time (way over, too) when I had my diary settings on the MFP default and it never affected my weight loss. One day won't ruin everything you've accomplished so far.

I agree that you should eat something if you are still truly hungry (not bored or stressed). Make it 100 calories or less like a rice cake with 1 tsp of peanut butter.

If you're hungry, you need to eat. Just watch what you're grabbing from the kitchen. I buy applesauce (50 cals), fiber bars (130), bananas (105 or so) and keep that around for my night snacking. Also, there are so many 100 cal packs you can keep on hand for those moments. Good luck!

Just peeked at your diary ....no wonder you are still hungry
You are far too low on everything
You may not like this, or even listen to this, but you need to increase your intake on everything but protein (this one is too high)
I am going to put this straight, you are killing your metabolism. Your body is in dire need of nutrition and you are not giving it what it needs and from what you are saying and from what your diary says, you are in starvation mode. When you are in starvation mode, your body will take anything and turn it immediately into fat because it doesn't trust you in fueling it, so it will horde everything it can and turn it into fat because it doesn't know when it will be truly fed and fueled. It wont make any new connective tissue (muscle, bone, blood...etc...) or repair it as well; it just wants to survive. Also your brain only fuels on one thing and one thing alone...glucose, glucose, glucose. If you don't have enough glucose, you are not only starving your muscles or organs...but your brain as well. And extra protein won't help, what your body doens't need will either get turned into fat or flushed right down the toilet. So, extra protein will not help you.
Don't kill your metabolism, your body isn't something to fight; work with it, train it, give it what it needs; it will respond. Talk to a doctor or registered dietician to find out what you really need. Feed, Fuel, take care of your body, you want healthy not just skinny and starved. Until you give what your body needs, it will continue to work against you, turning everything into instant fat and eating away at muscle and bone until you can show it that it can trust you. No matter what you want to think that you want to be as low as possible on the calorie/carb side, your body knows what it needs.....
if you do allow yourself more, be aware that your body will horde all that until it can trust you and then it will start letting go of the fat and build more muscle.
Sorry for the long post, but this is the honest truth. All from my own years of research, experiments on my own body, my registered dietician buddy, doctor and my anatomy and physiology professors. Please, be make healthy choices and be good to yourself.

Um, looking at your diary... EAT. PLEASE. Also, if you are exercising, eat the calories back. Remember that the point is to set up a healthy deficit. MFP already HAS you on a deficit, if you are still in weight-loss mode. If you have 400-900 calorie deficits on your food page, then try looking back at your goals summary and add the deficit that you have already been set up for to the calorie deficit. THAT is what you are short of. You don't want a TOTAL deficit over 800, really, to lose, and if, since it looks like you've already reached your weight-loss goal, you are in maintenance mode, make certain you change your goals and then ALWAYS eat back your exercise calories. You will never feel better starving yourself that way. Try adding a lot of complex (high-fiber) carbohydrates and some FAT.
