left over calories can't eat them all

Depends. What do you mean by heaps? What's your calorie goal? Do you weigh and measure your food so you know exactly how many calories you've eaten/have left? Do you log everything?

This.

lucky you but are you eating enough?

she said she can't eat more... so yes, that's "enough". It's probably too much.

No offence but we didn’t all get a weight problem by suddenly feeling super full on restricted cals and/or exercise... what are you doing differently? Have you upped your protein for example, it might help if you told us a bit more about what you are doing....

i'm actually having a similar problem in that, because of my work times and looking after a dog, there's a huge chunk where i can't really eat, and i can't eat much in the mornings because then i just feel bloated for the rest of the day. so when it comes to meal times i'm hungry but my stomach obviously won't accept too much, and even if i eat something small again in the night i'm not getting a good amount of calories, plus i walk too and from work, walk the dog, and spend most of the day on my feet. i don't eat meat so i eat a lot of vegetables and that obviously makes it harder to bring up as well.

as for op, are you reaching 1,200? because if you are that's when they tell you not to worry too much and that's the goal to get to. if you can, you can try eating things like cereal bars (or another snack type equivalent) in the day as snacks between meals to try to up your calorie intake. it can be a problem if your deficit is too high because your body will realise it's not getting enough and slow down it's metabolism. obviously '1,200' is the suggested one and it can differ for everyone and you can wait and see how your body reacts personally.

Hey,

If you had a lot of calories left over each day, for a period of time - you would definitely be losing weight by now, which you aren't according to your ticker.

This may be because you're taking more calories on board than you realise?

Good luck! xx
