    I was like that a few weeks ago. but now i keep my water bottle full all day and I bring snacks to work so I don't hit the vending machine (cause you know there isn't a dang thing that is good for you in there) I started slicing up my own veggies-baby carrots, broccoli and celery. i pack a little container of low fat ranch or peanut butter for dipping my celery. I put them in baggies so all i did was grab one out of the fridge when i was hungry or on my way to work.

    Fiber and protein help keep you full. I would also say that what your body is telling you is more important than your calorie count. Just eat slow and pay attention to what your body is telling you. When your full stop, when your hungry eat healthy.

    I found, surprisingly, that the more I exercised, the less I wanted to eat. I think a lot of my "hunger" was actually boredom, so filling up that time with going to the gym or doing an exercise-type video game or walking the dog was a win-win situation. I burned calories AND didn't consume calories. :smile:

    Yes, this. It doesn't make sense to me, but when I exercise, I'm not as hungry. Try to fit in some cardio. And if you're really, genuinely hungry, look for some low-cal, high-protein or high-fiber stuff to eat. After tracking my food for almost two weeks, I'm noticing that when I eat carby stuff, I'm hungry all day and can't stay under my limit, but if I eat good protein and fiber, I feel satisfied and it's easier to stay within my limit. And as others have said, drink lots of water. If you just hate the taste of water, try watering down some of your usual drink to half-strength (today I'm drinking half-strength lemonade). It's not as good as drinking just water, but you can drink the same number of glasses for half the calories.

    Same here!!!

    I want to eat much more when I'm inactive rather than when I'm training.

    I also do very well on upping protein and most my carbs come from veg rather than pasta or rice.

    Also water, water, water!!! Many people eat because they're dehydrated!!
