    Everyone responds differently and the hunger comes at different times, but to feel hungry even at Full Tdee is normal.

    Some people are hungry right from the start of upping cals, others get hungry a few weeks in. Others report being very hungry the day after a lift session. All kinds of things can factor in to it.

    However, if the hunger does not normalize over time or wax and wane due to exercise etc and you find yourself constantly hungry for weeks, you may need to reevaluate your calorie intake and rerun your numbers.

    Edited to add that if you are eating a lot of empty/junk food cals, you may find your body craving foods (hunger feel) as well, so make sure you eat nutritious foods for the bulk of your meals and work your macros. :smile:
