My diary is open for you to have a wander but today I've been exceptionally hungry nothing satisfied me not even dinner I can say that the last thing I ate was a yogurt when inevitably filled me up that God but Wat can cause this ? It started off this morning I was so hungry I took rashers of bacon to work I skipped my fruit as had bacon. Maybe it was a one off but it looks like I might have to lower my rate to loss to a 1lb. I hate grazing like today does anybody have tips to stop it

I know this kind of day. I get them from time-to-time. Sometimes, I think it's just one's hormones shifting. During these days, as long as they're not common, I'll occasionally allow myself another 200 or so calories.
I graze a lot as well. One thing I constantly have to do is put food out of arms reach. I've asked my boyfriend to put his chips and mixed nuts up on shelves that aren't in my eyeline. The extra effort I have to go to is enough to keep me from indulging, or at least it has to be a true craving or hunger instead of just the urge to put something in my mouth. I've checked your diary though, and it seems like there might be only a few of these items on your list today, so I'm not sure if "out of sight; out of mind" will help you.
BTW - lighter than light mayo? Is that any good? That seems like an awesome calorie count for something like that.0 -

Are you eating enough fat and protein?0 -
Sorry, but with a title like that you have expect sarcasm.
Eat foods that fill you up or trick your hunger pains by drinking water, tea, etc.0 -
don't have stuff to graze on
prep your days food ahead of time so you don't grab something from a store
graze but use foods high in protein and fiber so you feel full longer0 -
I don't know what your meals look like, but if you're constantly unsatisfied, maybe you should try to have more protein in your meals. It usually does the trick for me, to keep me full for longer than 30 minutes...

Yea it's not as tasty as real fat mayo but it does the job thank you I dint understand the shift today in my hunger my belly was actually growling a fee tomes today I tried to reach for low calorie things but it all adds up don't it lol0

Chew gum. I also have mints called "Forever Mints" (google it) that stay in your mouth for 3 hours, and during that time everything you try to eat tastes like mint. It's a good deterrent, plus your breath's fresh.0

I think I hit my macros I was an avid slimming world member so all my meals are made from scratch no oil or fat I cook with frylight no processed foods my meals are in my recipes so my curry today was completely made from scratch as that's how my brain has been trained.0

I'll defiantly try more protein thanks guys0

Fiber is also good for the full feeling.

It really is as simple as " Don't Do That", right?
There is no magic.

In which case it is called foraging. And yeah Monkeys get the munchies too.
Anyway. Could it possibly be coming up on your TOM? I know I get a severe case of the megamunchies right before mine. Sometimes I allow myself to eat a smaller deficit or eve at maintenance just to try to get through it. If you are having a specific craving, once you find the food that scratches the itch, it could also reveal a nutritional need that your body is trying to tell you about.

One thing that really helps me is to eat about 6 times a day which works out to about ever two and a half to three hours which is about how long it takes for your stomach to empty after you've eaten protein. Divide your goal calories and macros by six and try to get those amounts in each meal. Between meals, if I start to feel hunger (which is rare) I usually just drink water.0

Any chance you could put together a grazing kit/bowl/whatever each day with the calories that don't go into your main meals? Make it a combination of sweet and salty snacks, weigh whatever you put into it, so you can grab bites here and there without going over calories. If grazing is your style, you don't have to break yourself of it if you can make it work.0

Drink lots of water....and then drink some more. Believe it or not it does help.0
