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

I eat.

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

I eat!(and log it all).

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!

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.

eat something healthy i know if im really hungry im more likely to eat bad stuff.

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 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.

I eat.

Yup.

Eat. Drink some water. Log.

um, I eat. :huh: :huh: :huh:

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.

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.

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!

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???

I eat.
