I'm getting really frustrated. This week my hunger levels seem to have increased, and I feel hungry all the time. I don't understand why. My calories are the same, my foods are the same and my workout routine is the same. Last week the scales stayed same, and this week put on a lb. I just don't get it. The frustration is making me want to cave and order a pizza !

    What day of your cycle are you? I always have increased hunger leading up to and during my period.
    Fat cells like to suck in water to hold their shape after they have lost the fat. Eventually they let it go and you'll see a difference on the scale.

    This happened to me about 1-2 month(s) in. I upped my kcal (ate just under maintenance) for a week and it went away.

    It also happens when I get a cold.

    On pill, so only makes a difference on my week off it. Atm I'm drinking green tea when I'm still hungry, and hoping it sorts itself back out again
