I HAVE BEEN SO HUNGRY

bevmcarthur

OMG the last few days i have been so hungry I have been feeling off the past few days i am getting a cold just feel crappy but am starving Whats with that i have my diary shared and i am getting enough on paper but body says different

I would be staving too at your levels. How active are you because 1300 may not be enough? If you are hungry, you can always add additional protein, fats and fibrous greens. That will help keep you more full. Also, a week at maintenance could be beneficial if you have been in a calorie deficit for awhile, especially if you are getting sick.

Hi Psulemom
i have only been doing the 1300 calorie for about 3 weeks as i have not been able to do any Cardio for 3 weeks as i tore my calf. I have been doing weights again this week but still do not have the ok to go back to my trainer i am hoping next week i can. I am going to the gym tonight to do weights and i have had the OK to do the row machine. You look at my diary i have been eating lost of Veggies but have cut back on the fruit as my Sugar has been over .Should i not be worried about the natural sugar as you can see other than the one day i do not eat sugar other that natural .

Don't cut back on your fruit. Unless you have a medical condition, there is no need to track sugar separately (assuming a balanced diet) - it is just a subset of carbs.

Have you had a read of this?

Also, your diary does not appear to be completed for many of the days so I cannot make any comments on that, but when it is, you appear not to be eating to your target.

You may not be eating enough. Check your TDEE and shoot for a 20-30% deficit. Beyond that, you may not be getting enough to meet your energy requirements. Especially if you are runner.

Also, I am not sure you are getting enough unsaturated fats in your diet. A lack of the right kind of fats, in combination with a calorie deficit, will cause your body to release the hormone 'grehlin'. Grehlin is the hormone that generates the appetite.

Hi - that cut may be too high, plus the OP is not logging so its hard to tell what is short.

Yeah, I didn't read the other posts.

Disregard me, OP, and just listen to Sara.

Thanks Guys
it seem since i hurt myself i really started to watch more of my sugar and i need to stop that as its all natural that i do put in my body and i usually eat a lot more good fats like coconut oil in my smoothies and oats but i really have not been have them a lot with not being able to do cardio . SO i am going to go back to my home made juice and smoothies and adding more fats again. And as far as my diary not being complete i dont know what that is maybe its because i have not been saving it at the end of the day.

You say you log, but your diary indicates otherwise. How are you tracking?

bevmcarthur

I have been using MyFitpal for the last week steady but before that i was using Jillian Michaels site but i stop that this week as it came with her diet and workout and i just stopped using it as it really was not what i wanted and before that i wrote every thing down in my journal so you have access to is MYFITPAL as since pay account with JM i cancelled i can not long access it :sad:

Note from Sara: edited to fix quotes.

Sarauk2sf

The problem is, that even in the last week, there are missing days, and incomplete logging on some of the days that are there (or if not incomplete logging, very very low cals).


Over what period have you lost the 4lb? Did you get a chance to read the link I provided?

bevmcarthur

I am going to read it now i just got home from the gym first day that i was able to any cardio in 3 weeks it felt good even thought i am not feeling a 100%
i will start tracking from today and make sure i do it like i took my Body fat and weight tonight at the gym and i was way out on my BF that i told you earlier i was 138.9 a week ago today and today i am at 138.4 and my BF is at 26.1
and as far as the 4 Ld i lost it before i hurt my calf so the last week in January and the first week in FEb is when i lost it
