I'm doing really good during the day(at work) but when I get home I crash, I can't stop eatting. I'm thiniking it could be cause during the day I've been only consuming around 400 cal & the time I get home I'm really starving. I think today I'm going to make myself eat at least 600 cal, including snacks.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

    you should have a high protien high fibre breakfast and some carbs. it will come in at around 500 cals. fill your pockets with almonds or walnuts and every 2 hours snack on them or something healthy. this way you wont be so hungry when you get home. after about a week you will adjust and you wont be so hungry. maybe do some situps or go for a walk before you eat at night. when i first started i stuck the most unflatering picture of myself to the pantry and fridge ;) stick with it, you'll work it out.

    You need to flip your calorie consumption around. 400 calories is about what you should have LEFT when you get home. Eat most of your calories earlier in the day. I went to the six mini-meal routine and am rarely hungry. If you allow yourself to get hungry, your appestat lags about 15-20 minutes after you're actually full--longer if your satiety hormones are out of whack. Feel free to add me and you can see my food diary for an example of this approach. Good luck!
