It's happening, one of those days where it seems like the day is long and you just want to eat all the time, nothing seems satisfying. Does anyone know what causes this/how to fight it?

    I'm almost wondering if it's the dreary weather or unrestful sleep throwing my body into fits! I can't handle it! I've done so good up until this point and I guess I'm just feeling weak today! Isn't it the worst?

    Try this. I baked an acorn squash and I filled it to over flowing with sauteed veggies, onions, tomatoes, garlic, and collard greens. I fried some tofu for protein. I could only eat half.

    There are lots of variations to this. Lots of veggies plus one to two cups of cooked pasta for under 600 calories. A big salad with a really nice vinaigrette, add some fruit to make it feel like a cheat. Or if you like ice cream with a couple cups of chopped strawberries (1/2 cup ice cream, rest strawberries) I dunno what that is without checking, but it's probably under 200 calories. You should drizzle some chocolate on top and maybe add some whipped cream.

    Or some air popped popcorn, I put nutritional yeast on mine and it's divine.

    Or a huge plate of raw veggies.

    It really doesn't matter how much volume you put in your stomach as long as you can stay in calorie range. A large volume of food will trick your body into saying that you've had enough.

    Same here! I'm SO HUNGRY today and I have been steadily snacking on carrots and fruit salad and chicken for the past, um, 2 or 3 hours and I'M STILL STARVING.

    All my calories are already used up and I haven't even had dinner yet haha oops. Guess I'm exercising later today....

    Sometimes I just have "hungry days", a lot of pals on my friends list say the same. I figure it's just my body's way of saying feed me! I listen and do my best to eat good stuff all day long, and to make sure that I'm legitimately hungry, drinking enough water, etc. And if I go over a bit, so be it - it's one day and it won't hurt.

    Thanks for the encouragement guys! I just handled it (for now) with a sturdier meal/snack and drank like 2 glasses of water so for now I think I'm good. Just got to get through tonight! And I totally agree with you, even if I go over on my calories today then I'm still going to jump back on the wagon tomorrow. :)
