Hungry!!help!

Obviously, 1200 is too small a calorie goal for you! Up your calories to 1500 or eat your exercise calories back!
Eat healthy fats, whole grains and protein as well as your veggies and fruits!
Don't forget to drink your water!

Hrm...is this an all the time thing, or just during pms? Are you sure you're hungry, and not bored? By the way, soups never keep me full. Have you tried more fiber? They stay in the stomach longer. You say you're eating some pretty nutrient dense foods. So I'm not sure what else to suggest. How tall are you?

If I did my metric to imperial conversion correctly, I have your height at about 5'6" A healthy weight for that height is 120-133. Perhaps you should reconsider your goal weight and definitely increase your daily intake.

Best of luck to you!

You don't log properly and you have a mystery medical condition? What kind of advice do you want?

I am on 1200 calorie diet ...
But I am always hungry.

As others have said, 1200 is too low.

I see that you say you are often eating as much as 1500+ and still hungry. Glanced through your diary - are you also exercising and not logging it?

Also agree with others that you should reevaluate your weight loss goals, and your calorie goals. At your current height and weight, I'm wondering if maybe you don't desire body recomp/fat loss rather than just weight loss, seeing a smaller number on the scale? If so, you might look into a strength training/weight lifting workout of some sort (Stronglifts 5x5, New Rules of Lifting for Women, etc), and making sure you're eating enough to fuel your current stats and activity level.

if you truly are permanently hungry even when your busy then you really aren't eating enough. i have quite the heavy deficit myself. And i do get peckish. But im never at the point where i wanna eat my own face. And I can just ignore it and do something else.

64in tall is 5'4" and your ticker shows you want to weigh 103lbs... your goals might be unrealistic.

My weight is not much important to be honest. I am more into loosing the fat around my hips (muffintops) fflatten my stomach and loosing fat from arms- im not focused on weight at all. - this is only indicative. I need to tone up rather lose weight.

Lift heavy weights.

Stronglifts. New Rules of Lifting for Women. Strong Curves. Nia shanks beautiful badass. Starting Strength.

Pick one. Eat enough food (protein and consistently/honestly log). Be consistent with the weights. Patience. Profit.

Are you hungry, or are you bored?

My first suggestion would be to up your goal to 1500 or 1600 calories. I know you say you eat that already, but if you planned on eating that much everyday, it may take your mind of of how much you're having to restrict yourself. If you were, in fact, only eating 1200 per day, then genuine hunger would suggest your body needs more calories.

My 2nd suggestion is to get up and do stuff. Cleaning, take a walk, go outside or to the mall, anything to keep your mind occupied. From my own experience, the days when all I can think about is "food, food, food, food, what can I eat, when can I eat, can I eat now????" is when I'm sitting at my desk with nothing to do or at home in the same situation. When I force myself to think about it, I not actually hungry, I'm just pre-occupied and obsessed with FOOD!

Hope that helps.

Also i need to add that before I have started exercising and dieting I was always hungry too.
Like i was in fridge constant.

I finish food and I am still hungry. No matter what, after only 1 of having meal my stomach makes noises like I never ate before...
I had chocolate before thinking it may stop.. but nothing..

I also have cravings.. multiple... like i finish sweet i want salty after salty i want buttery then sweet again ;/
I feel like pregnant woman..

I am not pregnant- for sure!

Actually the noises your stomach makes after eating isn't hunger... its your digestive system.
Do you drink enough water? I find having a lot of teas and drinking 1L of water at a time really keeps me full. Granted, you pee a lot.
Also, try to preplan your meals a head of time. Make sure there is a reasonable amount of fats, protein and carbs in each meal to keep you full and satisfied for longer. Stay away from foods that spike your blood sugar like fruit, white bread, chocolate, etc.
Learn which foods have lots of nutrients and keep you full longer (e.g. avocados, sweet potatoes) and eat those. Also, don't worry if you cant always meet your calorie goals. You look like you are in fantastic shape already and your calorie goal seems a little extreme for how much you would like to lose.
Try doing workouts in the morning before breakfast and work so that you have your workout complete, can have a filling breakfast, and go to work all while keeping your calorie goals in reason.

Eat steak.

oh gosh this for sure. also choose more filling foods with protein and fiber content. add vegies to everything. plan to eat six small meals a day so you don't go too long without eating. up your exercises so you can have more food per day. try oatmeal for a "snack" or small meal. preplan your snacks ahead of time with the goal of making you satisfied. Be completely honest with your diary at all times. Get creative when it comes to meal and snack planning. lettuce and vegies help to bulk up your meals with quantity and quality at the same time. Add them in. IF you feel hungry then its your body saying feed me real foods. Eat whole non processed foods. Check out them labels and ingredients on what you are eating.

Yes I do exercise.
I do bit of cardio and weight lifting i tried to add that MFP but when I type ''plank'' or weight it doesn't find the exercise not even abdominal crunch- so I just gave up.

I just dont understand the whole thing and sometimes getting frustrated for example made a salad but then had few spoons- how do I know how much I have eaten of that salad, it keep asking of each ingredient nad should I guess? i tried to guess but then people say use scale... but with those salad should I strip the salad weight for example tomatoes, avocado etc. and add how much i actually ate? sound aweful so I usually guess and end up picking and eating more after anyway

My height 5.11811024 feet (5 feet 127⁄64 inch), I seat in office all day. Not much move- in front of computer.

sweety, you are stressing for no reason. Just pre measure each ingredient individually before making/eating. Watch what you put in the salad like dressings and avocado. They are good for you but add in extra calories. So its a balancing act so to speak. Check out places like youtube for what a 1200-1500 calorie day looks like, type that in. There are some good suggestions on there to get you started and give you ideas. Look that up on the net too. Its a lot of trial and error to see what works for us individually. Don't guess. USe them measuring cups/spoons and the scale. A scale is best for construcing a salad. Just keep zeroing it out as you put a new ingredient in. Once you do this a few dozen times you will know about how much to use. Its just hard when you first start out. GO for the most wholesome food you can choose. WHat is on the sandwiches you eat? is it whole wheat flout bread? are you adding in extra calories by not portioning out your fillings and dressings? Like I said earlier be honest with that diary. It will help you to find what days worked for you and what didn't. Use the food notes to make little notes to yourself about your day's choices. I find this helps me a lot.
