Hi I'm new and in the u.k,
I started My Fitness Pal last Sunday and found the first 2 days hard to hit my goal of water intake now though I don't find it a chore it's becoming second nature, there is just one thing that has struck me today and that's I missed my morning snack I just didn't feel hungry for it. I used to stuff my face with allsorts and now even the night time snacking has stopped is this normal?

    your metabolism may have slowed a little from the change in diet. just keep eating healthy snacks and foods, at least 6 mini-meals a day to get it back up again. when you change your diet the body has to adjust first

    Same thing happened to me (and still happening). I simply can't force myself to eat if I'm not hungry- so that's off the table. I'm interested to see what other have to say...

    Well, from what I think my appetite has decreased especially with the increase in water consumption. Also I am trying to stay within my calorie limit and I think since I am not eating that much, my body is getting used to it. I find now that when I eat I feel fuller quicker which helps me push that plate away. Even when snack time is around and I don't feel hungry I eat something healthy because this makes me not want to not over eat at lunch and at dinner.

    totally normal! as your body gets used to healthy portions it will start to ASK for them. I just posted about how quickly this seems to happen-- consider it a blessing that your body doesn't want those allsorts anymore!

    I am hitting my calorie goal 95% of the time and to be honest I knew I was eating too much before, half the time I was eating in my tea breaks at work I think out of fear that if I didn't I would be starving 30 minutes after .... I was just worried I was doing something wrong because I so want to hit my goal and wouldn't want to jeopardize anything .... Is there anything else I might notice over the coming weeks/months?
    Also I overeat protein too but, love chicken and fish is there a right or a wrong to that too?
    Sorry for all the questions I'm a newbie and I promise I will stop (eventually lol)
