When you have 900 and 1200 calorie days this is what happens IMO. Why not try eating a steady 1500 or 1600 instead?

johnnylufc

why did you only have have 900 on the 26th
and 1200 on the 27th
same on the 28th
then jump upto 1900 on the 1st

why not have the same each day

MyChocolateDiet

Very true.

I would be starving too if that is all the cals i ate...

I have 2 rules...
1) If i want it bad enough...have it (learning to live this life)
2) NEVER go to bed hungry.

well dont starve your self, just do what i did eat healthy work out A LOT and in your diet cut out all the bad stuff. Like candy, pop, all fruit juices and everything thats high in calories. u think the fruit juices are healthy but they are not, people take out the protien and leave the suger.instead of candy eat fruits and instead of pop drink water. Do this everyday and u will loose a few pounds.i promise :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

My guess is that you're adjusting back to normal intake after those low cal days earlier in the week.

i was travelling on the 900 cal day,
1200 days were my goal so i stuck to under 1300
and the last 2 days i was just really hungry so i listened to my body and ate....

It's called HORMONES. Women usually get extremely hungry on certain days of the month. For example 11 days or so after the first day of your period you will have cravings bc that is when you ovulate. Your body is preparing for a possible pregnancy. Also, before your period your metabolism goes up and you can safely eat an extra 500 calories. I am PMSing right now and starving for the past two days. I could eat the paint chips off the wall if I could figure out how to get them off, lol. Go with it, take it easy and hit the diet hard again in a few days when you feel more yourself.

i only drink water, i eat my calories from fruit (lots), veggies, coconut oil, bread if im hungry (wholegrain and 1 or 2 slices)
butternut soup, milk in my coffee etc..... egg whites, yoghurts...i eat healthy and prefer to snack on it through the day whenever im feeling hungry....
im just feeling overly ravenous and trying to control it

so posted this to see if it happens to anyone else out there or if its just me lol

Most likely 1300 goal is too low, by a few hundred per day. Hunger is the expected response.
Read this, and consider setting a calorie target manually.

why did you only have have 900 on the 26th
and 1200 on the 27th
same on the 28th
then jump upto 1900 on the 1st

why not have the same each day

She could be rotating on calories which is actually recommended by many weight loss experts. I am not saying I agree or disagree with it, but when I read the articles on it, it made sense vs eating just a steady "1500" a day, every day.

omg 11 days is spot on!!! maybe thats why then....
AND during my period i was eating like a pig while on holiday... i came back thinking i gained over 1 kilo but i actually LOTS 0.6 kilos!! so that was amazing..... must be true what you say

melissalatzel1

i do eat what want, if i want , but i hate going to bed full, i go to bed hungry and wake p with an appetite for breakfast

taso42

lol

i find that two some time have a day were i feel a bit more hungry than others so i just have a litte something, the only thing i find odd is that if you have a day were your not has hungry, should you eat just to keep your cals the same.

If I don't give into my cravings when I PMS I can usually lose a couple of pounds. I read the book, "Hormonal Timing" by Buff Mother (lol) aka Michele Burger. It makes soo much sense. You can Google her and the book is only like 12 dollars or something like that.

I also don't worry if my calories are low. If I am not hungry, I am not going to eat. Last week I had three days at around 800 calories. I just wasn't hungry. But this week, I am PMSing and starving so I guess I am making up for it. You have to listen to your body and not to what other people "tell you that you should be doing". Your body does a good job at telling you what it needs.
