MAD, ANNOYED, DISCOURAGED! HELP!

Seriously, take a look at my food diary. Whole grains, full of fiber. Proteins. Fruits and Veggies, full of fiber. Proteins. Healthy fats. Oh yeah, proteins and fiber. I wonder if I've made my point?

Lots of water! When water is added to fiber, the fiber swells, thus filling you up!

Quit eating cereals. There is almost NO nutritive value in them. Well, maybe Kashi cereals, but I'm not a fan of those.

Also, try reducing your milk and milk product intake. Human beings are the only animals on the planet that feel the need to continue ingesting milk products after pubescence. Digestive systems really aren't designed to handle it. I'm not saying give it up completely, but it's liquid fat, and not the good kind. Small doses.

Someone else mentioned potatoes. Those things are actually pretty bad for you. They're like the wonder bread of roots. The skins are full of nutrients, the rest, is something on which to put unhealthy toppings.

Most days, I'm scrambling to find calories, unless I eat out at a restaurant (processed foods, hello!), not because I'm starving, but because I can't seem to find enough in my meals! Today, I ate English style breakfast biscuits (read "cookies") with Nutella on them just to add some calories to my day.

Edited for spelling and grammar, because I care about that stuff.

I think that protein and fiber foods would have filled you up. even a handful of almonds will help. also i haven't tried this but someone said eggs (like a boiled egg) make you feel full.

Just curious what you set your goals to as well. Your profile says you have 110 lbs you want to lose, yet you're at a 1700 calorie diet. Perhaps you should set an easier to maintain goal.

Ok... my cals are set at 1700. Today for breakfast I had ONE BOWL of rice krispies with 2% milk. For lunch I had 3 grilled chicken tenders, a baked potato, some salad and a slice of toast. For supper I had 2 more bowls of rice krispies with 2% milk and about 3 tablespoons of peanut butter. I know it probably sounds like a lot but it's NOT especially when you are on your feet working all day at the local pharmacy! I am over and I know it! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm hungry now!!!! ANY TIPS????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eat lots of protein, ditch the cereal:)

When you eat things with a lot of processed sugar, your body absorb the food very quickly. I saw throw the cereal in the garbage, replace it with oatmeal.

Delicious oatmeal:
Add peanut butter
cinnamon
and cranberries

Nutrient rich and easy. Also get enough GOOD fats. Like avocado for example.

I had pancakes and eggs for breakfast, salad with one whole avocado for lunch and had to force myself to eat a ham sandwich for dinner. The good fats are great.

Eat more protein. I eat greek yogurt for breakfast every day and it really helps. If you still want cereal, mix it in the yogurt.

I agree with above, so I didn't want to just pile on some more because I think the message is pretty clear. What's stunning to me though is how much more you can eat if you switch to actual, real and minimally processed food versus a bunch of refined carbs. So that takes care of a lot of the problems you have with being starving all the time.

Personally, I don't eat low fat, but I watch carbs really closely. My fat intake is probably a lot higher than a lot of people on here but my carbs are probably way lower. I have found that most grain-based foods tend to upset my stomach a lot and make me bloated. So the majority of my carbs come from vegetables, a few of the lowest sugar fruits, nuts and very occasionally beans. Sugar makes me eat like I'm some kind of bottomless pit so I avoid it as much as I can too. It also makes my face break out, so a nice side effect of clearing it out of my diet is that my skin looks fantastic for the first time in my life. This might not work for everyone, but eating like this is what keeps me going and stops me from feeling hungry literally all the time. It's also changed my palate a lot- used to be a certifiable carb junky and now I just don't get that excited about most of that stuff because it doesn't taste very good anymore.

Overall though, the idea is, eat some real food. Don't eat crap. Eat until you're full, then stop.

Damn, do you really mean that dlbsomething, having posted the first ever post here, has never posted anything else on the dlbsomething thread? Crikey,

agree, too many carbs -- bread, rice krispies, potatoes. I also had what felt like a "good" day today. having a piece of leftover French bread when i was hungry cost me >150 calories and picking the pasta instead of the chicken was a dumb decision, even though I chose the garden salad and mixed vegs instead of the potatoes AND rice that came with the fixed meal... tomorrow pick a veggie or a fruit instead of the starch. one meal at a time.

Replace regular milk with almond milk, You don't notice the difference in cereal

If I ate that, I would be miserable!

I am only on 1200 and I am fine. Feel free to check out my diary. Rice Crispies isn't really real food. You likely need some fiber and to structure meals around protein a bit more. You want to get some calorie dense, filling foods. Fruits, veg., decent proteins.

don't give up. You just need to modify what you eat. I have cut no food out. I am 4'11 and weigh 100 lbs, workout hard, and have lots of energy. But you need to have fuel and balance. What you listed will not give you either and it will be far too hard on good ole you!
