This is what I have had today so far, and i'm seriously starving right now. :sad:

5:30a - treadmill workout for 45 minutes

7a - Kashi Granola 1/2 cup and one Yoplait Light Yogurt mixed together

Snack - Green Apple

Lunch - Campbell's healthy request tomato soup and one turkey sandwich on light wheat bread.

Snack - Orange

Snack (:blushing:) - Fiber One Bar

It's only 3:50p and I have already had 935 calories. I have 750 remaining. Why can't I get full? Is my menu bad?!

Girl, I have the same problem. I'm sure lots of us do. Always hungry!!

One suggestion I have - Progresso has a lot of soups that are only 100 calories for 1 cup (2 servings per can), and a cup usually fills me up, at least for awhile. Even 200 calories for the whole can isn't bad! You might want to check it out - if you like soup, that is.

Also, 750 calories left for the day is a lot!!!

It's 5:30 pm where I am...and I have 1,700 calories left!!
But I never eat all my exercise calories though, I am just not that hungry.

The hardest part is finding foods to eat that keep you satisfied... I eat frequently to keep my appetite in line... I'm at 680 calories today and this is what I've had so far....

Breakfast
Protien Shake-Chocolate, 231

Lunch
3 oz Sliced Turkey in mini whole wheat pita bread with mustard
1 cup mixed greens with sliced strawberries & raspberry vinaigrette
Starbucks - Small Skim milk Latte

Snacks
around 3 cups popcorn
10 med strawberries
Fiber one cereal - 1 cup

Alot of water***

Good luck

I am sure with you on that! I NEVER have the problem of racking my brains to figure out how to "use up" my calories!! I started this in January and that has been the hardest part - trying to not go over my calories. I found that with entering all my food, trying to think of healthy things to eat, entering my home-made recipes into my foods, etc., I was ALWAYS thinking about foooood!!

I hope it will comfort you to know that in the last couple of weeks I have noticed I am far less preoccupied with food and have even managed to leave 100 or 200 calories "on the table." (That is, ate over the minimum but not quite all I'd burned that day.) So that was like 2 months of struggle but now it seems to be better. Hang in there!!!

Thanks! I just recently started getting hungry a lot.

google food density. It can make a big difference in your appetite.

dulceluva

try eating foods according to the glycemic index.

Explain eating all your exercise calories please...you may have an answer to my post and not even know it

How much water?

I drink a lot of water. Most days I try to have a Gallon per day, but at least 64 ounces.

Hi

When I first started here a about 8 weeks ago, I was ALWAYS hungry
Some may not agree, but the first thing I did was bump my cals up a little...this site rec I eat 1290 cals a day and I bumped it to 1400 (lost almost 20 pounds in 2 mnths..so it's working)
I also had to find better food options...as low in cal as possible but filling
Some of my favs..and I eat every 2 hrs...

EAS drinks/shakes...110 cals
FiberOne bars..140 cals
TJ low fat whole wheat bread..2 slices, 80 cals (slap on cheese for 60cals...nice grilled cheese)
Quaker weight control oatmeal...160 cals for a packet...
TJ muffins...80-100 cals each....lost of fiber...
Kashi or special k waffles...only 80 cals each
Kashi chocolate truffle (rolled bar)..190 cals, but worth it....feel for 2-3 hrs easy

Good luck!
