Always Hungry

Have you tried eating every couple hours (which would meal 5 or 6 small meals vs 3 larger meals)?

I find when I don't eat every few hours I end up VERY hungry.

I also try and make sure I eat enough at breakfast. I find if I don't eat enough then - I'm very hungry ALL day long.

well,I was gonna say eat a lot of protein but you already said that.Maybe a lot of water.Ive heard to drink some metamucil 30 minutes before a meal with a lot of water.Its got a lot of fiber.Maybe you should have your thyroid checked to if you havent already and maybe your sugar also. Hope this helps.

for me, I've learned that I need to have some carbs to feel full, so a slice of whole wheat bread with some peanut butter on it with a big glass of water will keep me full for a few hours - hopefully you'll be able to find foods that can keep you full, it's not the same for everyone - good luck

I get seriously hungry on no-exercise days. Burn off some calories so you can eat more! It's what works for me.

Yeah, I macked 1800 calories and still am about 100 under my 1200 I'm supposed to net. I'm like you, though (or I was, before eating my workout calories)......freakin' starving all the time.

Also, if you DO eat lots of little meals, try eating 3 big ones. I always did the little meal thing because I wanted to keep my metabolism going all the time, but I found that I'm more satiated when I eat three big ones and have a small snack here and there.

Good luck! It sucks being hungry!

Hi I always get hungry at night. I eat 1600 calories but 1200 calories when I do the elliptical for 1hr. how can I stop these urges of not eating at night. I do the low glymeic but I eat a little candy and not indulge fully its in my requirements of my 1
300 calories

I have this problem too. What I found was that although I was eating a lot of protein, I was also eating a lot of sugar. I started tracking my sugar and it really helped me to become aware not only of how many calories and fat grams I consume each day, but how I choose to spend my calories and fat grams. I was staying below my calorie goal but was making wrong choices as to how to spend my calorie allowance and was therefore constantly hungry. Choosing foods high in protein and fiber and low in sugar has helped me quite a bit.

Fiber, fiber, fiber! It keeps you full for a long time! Kashi Go Lean Crunch isn't necessarily low in calories (200cal/cup) but if you eat more than one bowl you regret it - over full & gassy (sorry of that was a little TMI).

If you're like me and just always have the urge to snack I suggest taking a liking to pickle spears, baby carrots, nuts, celery, grapes and popcorn. I need things I can have more than one of. Try to skip any additives tho (like ranch, butter, extra salt, etc)

This is coming from a chronic muncher who has only lost 1 lb in 2 weeks though haha anyway, good luck!

Hi flecke and athan I will define try the kashi cereal. I like the frosted mini wheat. I eat half cup of that and 1/2 cup of 2% milk. I checked my sugar intake it is more then the allowance. After my wrkout I Dnt eat anything its hard so I give in I eat 1 of those chocolate lindt truffle little Italian bread with cheddar cheese and down it with water.

I lost only 6.5lbs 2 months and wrkout 6days a week

i highly recommend not doing slimfast. i had a trainer/nutrioniest say they can be the worst ones there... But the myoplex light ones are ok and taste better, have more nutrients and aren't loaded with cals. What i like to do is get the powder form, put it in my blender mix some benefiber and flax seed in it for fiber intake. Then you can also add fruit, or whatever else in there to beef it up some if you want. They're tasty you can make them as thick or as thin as you want and you can put them in a bottle and take them with you to drink. Oh and they have a good amount of protien... So that would be my breakfast suggestion.
