    If you are exercising and you didn't account for your exercise in your activity levels, then you should be eating back your exercise calories (or at least half of them since usually calculators and machine counts are wrong). This will fuel your body. Not eating them back can lead to feeling warn down and excessive hunger. Once I started feeding my body with better food and eating all of my calories, I no longer have the urges that lead me to binge.

    I would trust the dietitian you are working with over the site. Somedays i feel like a bottemless pit, somedays I am forcing food into my mouth - i dunno it just varies for me.

    but what I wanted to say is we have all shed some tears on this journey - its frustrating at hell sometimes, and I have definitely needed my fair share of cheat days, but you just gotta stick with it.

    Are you drinking enough as this can often be translated by the mind as hunger instead of thirst.

    Exercise makes a lot of people hungry and it makes sense - you're using energy and your body wants fuel for it. You could stick with 1350 and then track how many calories you're burning during your workout and then eat those calories in addition to the daily 1350. Or you could try going higher, such as the suggested 1700 per day, and then you don't have to figure out the exercise calorie thing.

    Don't do it. If you do, try to eat less junk then you normally would and plan to exercise more to make up for it. I often get urges to pig out and when I can't resist I try to pig out less than I would have two months ago. Ugh, it is so hard. You can do it, just remember that we are all in this together and someone else is out there having a bad day and trying to resist temptation. If you can't resist don't let it sabatage all of your efforts, jump back on the wagon afterwards :)

    I have cried cuz I was hungry, cuz I felt guilty for what I ate, cuz I felt fat, etc..
    Sometimes it's a rough journey. But SO worth it when you get through the rough patch and look back at what you have accomplished!
    I am always STARVING after a workout and you are SUPPOSED to eat after a workout - within 30-60 min actually.
    Just make it protein!

    One other thing.... I have taken to scheduled snacks in between my meals so that I don't get to the point of being hungry and then binging. I use treadmill for 45 min at lunchtime and then have a slimfast shake. After work I get on treadmill for 45-60 minutes and then eat dinner soon after. I have gone from drinking hardly any water to drinking about 10 cups on an average day.
