    Fast food has that effect on many people.

    I wonder this too because we usually eat out on Fridays. I will try to eat sensibly, slightly less than normal on those days, to save some calories for dinner (usually Whataburger). But, it seems to backfire as I am always hungry that night and want to snack all evening afterwards. What's up with that?

    Nope, not an issue for me. If anything I'm more thirsty, probably from the sodium.

    Same here. I don't do McDonalds, but we have a local fast food place that I love, and many times when I eat lunch there, I'm full for the rest of the day. It does depend somewhat on what I choose, but usually I'm barely even hungry for any dinner.

    I think it's mind over matter, at least for me. Fast food fills me up just fine, like any other food does, but sometimes I think just KNOWING I have little or no calories left for the day makes me hungry later. You always want what you can't have.

    ETA that I think it also depends on how you use your calories. You can choose to spend all your calories on a single high calorie item, or on a bunch of lower calorie items. For example, I can get a whole grilled chicken sandwich meal [sandwich, fries, & diet soda] for the same calories as just a burger.

    I will say I have experienced this on occasion. I've never been able to figure out specifically which items are the issue I just remember getting baffled by why am I feeling hungry when I know I've actually consumed more calories than normal. Don't know, but I just enjoy the food and don't worry about it.

    For me, fast food makes me sick......so I try not to eat it (the doctors assume it is because it messes with my hormones that I have problems with).

    Not me, it makes me really thirsty (cause its full of salt obviously) but it gets me pretty full.

    protein and fat is good at keeping you satiated, you shouldn't be having this problem

    I think this is probably more of the issue for me. Fast food is about the only time I *might* eat fries or have a soda, so I'm actually getting MORE carbs if I eat something like McDonalds than I do normally, hence I get hungry later in the evening. Luckily there are only about three places in total that I actually like the fries and eat them.

    Hi Belly:

    I've heard about that MickyD's Diet - not my thing but it is hard to argue with success.
    This guy went from 31.2 BMI to 28.2 on it in 30 days - took me almost 3 months!

    Let us know how it works for you.

    Fast food doesn't necessarily make me more hungry, as in true, tummy-growling hunger, but the sheer amount of carbs in most fast food meals will set my sugar and carb cravings into high gear, making me *think* I'm hungry.

    YEAH!!

    These jerks made me hungry. I ordered a yogurt parfait to eat after my workout. The coffee I got with it came out right away but they needed "a minute or two" to get me my parfait? After Five minutes holding my breath waiting for someone to hand me my pre-packaged parfait I drove off. Those liars totally left me hungry!
