What do you eat when you're starving but short on calories?

It's really really easy.

Just listen to your body.

There are all these suggestions on here of how to get around the fact that you're hungry and to trick your body into thinking it's full. In what world does that make sense? Your body doesnt lie to you. If it says it's hungry to the point where you're "starving" then that means it's looking for nutrients! What do you think knows your calorie needs better: your body or a website?

If you're hungry, dont avoid it by eating cucumbers, drinking water, or any of the other tricks - give it the nutrients it's looking for and eat.

You'll feel better, and it won't affect your weight loss.

See, I agree, but you also see people who over-eat. So how does one know if it's a true craving for nutrition or if it's wanting something you don't need? I am hungry ALL the time and I honestly don't know sometimes if I am truly hungry. I drink water, but still think about food.
