When you eat too low calories, it can depress your appetite. Now your appetite is coming back. It should level out after a little. Just give your body some time to adjust!

I took a peek at your diary, I hope you don`t mind?

the last week you were averaging 900 cals a day, so maybe your body is wanting to play catch up and take in some more food?

I find that I get hungry or crave certain things if I don`t eat enough or eat to little of a macro.

Protein fills you up more, but you probably know that anyways!

Try to eat consistently and then you won`t fel as hungry, this is what works for me, good luck either way :-)

Thanks! THats what i was hoping. As i've increased cals in past, i've put on many lbs, so i'm nervous about doing that again

Yeah, it's totally normal. Happened to me at first, too. It will settle down in a few days. It's from your metabolism amping up. It's a good sign.
