Continue to eat after feeling full?

There is a lot of posts about this sort of thing, I sometimes struggle too, best thing to do maybe eat small meals frequently, eat calorie AND nutrient dense foods, nuts are a great thing to snack on to boost it (if you're not allergic obviously) and things like that just try spread out the calories over the day so you're not having to eat when you're body says stop.

Maybe you should try more calorie dense food like nuts, avocado, full fat dairy, peanut butter, etc.

I don't think you should keep eating if you're full, but I do think you should try to incorporate some low-volume/high-calorie foods and make sure you monitor yourself after meals -- if you start feeling hungry again an hour or two later, be sure to grab a snack or the remainder of your meal. Some people just aren't Big Hungry three times a day on a schedule; maybe your body wants smaller amounts with greater frequency.

Also be sure to note any feelings of fatigue, headaches, dizziness, or nausea. Weirdly enough (especially weird for the nausea), these can all be signs that you're hungry, even if your stomach isn't registering it.

I think this is a good idea to try. I spent last week eating avocados, like three a day, and I lost a couple pounds that week too and I was closer to the mfp requirement. My hair might be shinier too!

Check out other peoples diary too I always get some great idea's by stalking certain friends food diaries :laugh:

Feeling full is generally a trained response. Hormones control when you feel full and when you feel hungry, and your body changes the hormone production to match your eating patterns (a survival trick, it prevents you from feeling hungry if you are trying to hunt for food, and prevents you from doing full before you've consumed enough calories to survive until the next hunt.) Unfortunately, we don't need to hunt for food, and have a constant supply. This is why an app like MFP is useful, it allows you to keep track of your eating habits and retrain your hormones to function properly (anyone who is overweight has hormonal issues, being overweight causes them.)

Until you've trained your body as to what an appropriate amount of food is, and when you typically eat, using hunger or full signals to determine when to eat or stop is a pretty horrible idea.

There are plenty of people who eat 500 calories a day, but never feel hungry. Completely unhealthy, but it's the way they've trained their body. Don't rely on it if you aren't hitting appropriate nutrition goals, as it can take months to reset hormones.
