What Do You Do When You're Just Freakin' Hungry?

jennifer_417

Occasionally, like every couple of months, I'll have a day where I am just ravenously hungry, way beyond my normal appetite! Does this ever happen to you? What do you do?

I'll eat something small, drink 2 cups [or more] water and nap if feasible.

This one is simple. If I'm hungry (truly hungry, not bored or just a craving) I eat something. Make it healthy like a piece of fruit or some veggies.

Since I started heavy weight lifting, I'm hungry all the time, even though I've increased my calorie allowance. People say to eat more protein, some say drink tea or coffee as the caffeine is an appetite supressant, some say to get busy, some say to drink lots of water (which you should be doing anyway).
I'll let you know when I find my own personal answer to that question!
But in the meantime, maybe eat? One day every couple of months isn't going to hurt in the grand scheme of things, and no need to feel guilty about it!

I do a protein overload and try to stay within my calorie goal. Sometimes that is hard because when I am hungry I want carbs.....BREAD PASTA BREAD!!!! Protein keeps me full though

Eat, log it, try and work some of it.

We all need to give into temptation once in a while.

I had McDonalds on Thursday, logged it, still stayed under my calories and lost 2lb this week. Win.

Sorry but I just eat!!!

hiddenaudacity

What really fills you up is protein!!! I'll eat something healthy that's high in protein ie. Eggs, Tuna, Chicken, maybe even a protein shake

I blend up a cup of blueberries with a cup of water or almond milk, and a half scoop of weigh and 5 ice cups and drink the whole thing!. cant beat a healthy fat burning smoothie for 140 cals

I have days like this, usually once a month which suggests to me that it's cycle related.

My response is to eat. Trying to keep it healthy and within calories, though I am rarely successful in this. All things in good time.

Wardnow

180 if you use almond milk:)

RockaholicMama

If its that intense your body is asking for food EAT! of its boredom exercise or eat a piece of fruit.

Articeluvsmemphis

JessicaRobin67

If I am at home, I will make a low cal fruit smoothie...works every time... and log it.

I first think if I'm hungry for some reason like emotions or boredom and if I'm actually hungry because of a need of food then I eat.

It's important though to eat something good that will be filling. Protein or leafy greens and drink water. It usually does the trick.

chelbivandine

I eat low fat greek yogurt and drink skim milk. These two things are high in protein and dont have many calories so you are filling yourself and making you feel full longer. Its the most important thing I eat!

If I'm really hungry...and not just bored, I eat. I always have a ton of roasted veggies in the house ( I do a big batch at the beginning of each week, and make a wrap, or put some on top of a ryvita.) And drink some more water.

This has been me fro the last 2 weeks. I have been so hungry eating lots of cals. I know exactly where your coming from

Coltsman4ever

I eat vegetables. You can eat and eat and eat until you're so bored with eating you just have to stop. Then you log it and find out you ate about 50 calories. Ha!
Winner!

Dymatized

Just eat even if it's a cheat meal. Consider it a reward for eating good throughout the week. But if you don't want to have a cheat meal then I just eat like 2.5 cups of salad greens with fat free Italian dressing and throw in whatever veggies you want just not the bacon, cheese and other fatty high caloric dressings. This way you can get full without the cheat meal guilt.

Every now and then I find I am hungry, starving for no apparent reason, for a couple of days. Sometimes I eat more, but if I don't, I often find I then suddenly drop more weight than usual. For me it is a cue now that I am going to lose a bit more than usual. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason for it, same eating and exercise as usual. It just seems to be the way my body works. I just go with it because over the last 12 months I have become more aware of my body and losing weight and this is just one of the things that happens.

Not sure if this happens for others too???
