2000 calories feels like torture

How much do you weigh and how tall are you?

Wow. 2000 cals plus seems like a downright feast to me and a 1200 cal dinner? That's only about 300 cals less that what I normally eat--in a DAY.
I suspect it may have a lot to do with WHAT you are eating, not the cals. More protein for example, or foods with fiber to keep you fuller.

I reckon your hungry as your probably eating a lot of carb based foods or processed foods?

Stock up on

Lots of protein
Fruit
Veggies

Drink lots of water too - Some people think there hungry - They are actually thirsty.

If your drinking soda/fizzy pop/coke etc - Cut that out!!

It sounds like your feelings of hunger are caused by too many carbs, which means blood glucose levels spike and then later crash. I've had a lot of success with restricting carbs, eating moderate protein and high fat (the ketogenic diet - not sure if it's a dirty word round here, but it has really worked for me) which keeps your blood glucose rock solid at modest low levels and really kills those hunger pangs. Starting from very similar stats to yours, I've been able to eat 1500 calories a day like this for the past 2 months, and lost a significant amount of weight in the process.

I see you've got 80 kilos to lose -- what goal did MFP give you, and how much did you tell them you wanted to lose?

I had to double check that :laugh: OP's goal is to get to 80 kg, he's about 100 now (silly tickers aren't always easy to read )

Anyway, OP, the rest of the question is legitimate. With only 20 kilos to lose, you shouldn't set your goal any higher than 1 pound (1/2 kilo) per week. How many calories does MFP give you with that? Then, remember that this system doesn't account for exercise at all in those goals, so log your exercise and eat back about 1/2 the calories (I don't say all, because machines and the database both tend to overestimate).

Unfortunately, I don't understand most of the diary either (language barrier, not a logging issue). But some general suggestions - like others have said, make sure you're getting enough protein/fat at each meal to help keep you sated, as well as fiber. Also try planning out your day in advance, so you can see how things fit. If you're hungry early, don't try to save all your calories for dinner (on a special occasion, a 1300+ calorie dinner may be okay, but there's no need for it to be like that normally).

Also try serving smaller portions and eating slowly. I have teenage boys, so I know it's natural to scarf down your food in about 30 seconds :laugh: But it does take the body some time to recognize it's been fed and send satiety signals, so you may find that you are satisfied with less food through the early parts of the day if you take more time over your meals. Drink water with them, too, as that can help as well.

Try to find some simple 100-200 calorie snacks for those times when you truly are hungry. A couple of hard-boiled eggs is <200 cal and has lots of protein and good fat to help you feel sated until the next meal. Or a greek yogurt, or something like that.

Best of luck!

You should try to have no such thing as a 1200 calories.

I'm a fan of nice and big dinners myself and it used to be around 1000 kcal or more but trust me it's totally possible to have a nice carbs+meat+veggies dinner for 800-900 kcal. Just gotta find the right food.

I opened my diary and I'm 22 and 98.9 kgs. Oh and I'm 180 cm tall. I said to MFP I'm a couch potatoe and I plan on exercising 4 times per week 15 minutes.

I recognize very.. very few things, but it's just a language barrier.

If you're hungry on 2000 calories, eat more foods with proteins/fats to keep you full. Fiber does wonders too.

Colruyt - Boomstammetje,
Groentesoep Zelfgemaakt - Groentesoep Zelfgemaakt,
Random - Aardappelpuree
Marc Payot - Mie Toastbrood, 2 sneetje/tranche
Beleg - Kipsalade,

This may be the first time that an OP opening a diary leaves me to where I can't offer advice.

Mmmmm Boomstammetje. Wait.............what?

Its Dutch, Boomstammetje is similar to meatloaf but in a cilinder shape so we call it boomstammetje (translated as treetrunk)
Groentesoep is just vegetablesoup
Aardappelpuree is mashed potato
Toastbrood is toastbread
and Kipsalade is literally translated as chickensalad but here we use it as a spread, so it's chicken with mayonnaise and stuff

Hope this helps a bit.

The thing I noticed is that you are eating a lot of high sodium foods such as sausages. You may be retaining a lot of water???

Thanks for that.

I agree with Trog, try to make sure you get enough protein and fiber. Those things will help.
