So I've lost about 15 pounds give or take and I've really been all about creating a deficit through eating and working out! And I've been doing well but I still have another 5 pounds or so to go but my appetite is so ravenous suddendly! And I really can't just not eat when I'm hungry. I got used to eating at a deficit but now its like my body isn't having it all of a sudden, but I still want to lose and def don't want to regain what I've lost! Why is this and what can I do?

You could start off by telling us your stats and your caloric consumption? That'd be pretty helpful..0 -

How aggressive do you have your goal set? Are you getting enough fats and protein?0 -

I try to stay around 1500-1700 daily and then workout about 4-5x a week
Right now I'm 5'3 1/2 130 pounds

I'd like to be 125 or a little below so I'm at the last five granted I havent gained any this week..I've been eating a crap load of protein and fat --ive been pretty low carb thru my weight loss journey --but this past week or so I've been eating way more carbs than usual due to this hunger spike

As long as its a loss and not a gain I'm fine but ideal would be a pound or so a week at this stage

She's asking how much of a difference is there between what your eating and your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure).
If your using MFP's method that would translate to having your diary set to 0.5 lb (-250), 1 lb (-500), 1.5 lbs (-750), or 2 lbs (-1000) per week. She wants to know which one you picked in your MFP goal settings.
Or if your following another TDEE calculator, what % are you taking off? Are you eating 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, etc lower?
Example:
I have MFP set to 1 lb per week loss. So I eat 500 calories less than what I burn.0 -
I believe the recommendation that I usually see here is that when your down to your last 25 lbs or less; that you should aim for 0.5 lbs per week loss.0

Make more choices that include protein.0
-
Lower your weekly weight loss goal
Eat back half your exercise calories

Water is a huge factor for me when I get super hungry. Are you drinking enough water?0

What rabbitjb said.
Plus, don't keep telling yourself you're hungry. Hunger happens when it happens, not all day every day.0 -
I think its fairly normal. Some days i couldnt eat enough, but other days i struggle to find an appetite.
It could also be boredom hunger too? Be careful to differentiate between genuine hunger and the 'i could eat' feeling0
