Nothing tastes good enough...

...to be worth my calories. It feels almost like MFP has become a game and my calories are my points. I feel sorta paralyzed when it comes to making meal decisions. I crave nothing and so it feels like nothing will ever taste good enough to be worth the calories. And so I am stuck just waiting for something to seem worth eating. What's even more frustrating is that this typically leads to tiny snacks that add up to being a completely unfulfilling non-meal.

Anyone else go through this? How do you manage?

When I first got into to diet design I looked at the numbers. The Aragon diet is a good place to start if you are trying to lose weight, but exercise on the regular.

Now that you have your daily caloric, fat, carb, and protein requirements, just make healthy choices and shoot for those totals each day.

I never went through a "not-hungry" phase though. If anything, I go through serious food withdrawals sometimes.
