    I felt that way an hour ago. I had small baggie of almonds that I premake from home and bring to work. Ate them all and drank large glass of ice water. Walked around office for about 5 minutes. Came back to my desk and I feel pretty good.

    practice my self discipline!

    But it is rare that i am starving i just eat balanced and try to avoid getting hungry. And the days i do get hungry i ate up to maintenance.

    What do you think lead up to this? How often does this happen?

    Apples/peanut butter! Or...if I'm feeling fancy I will have a tablespoon (somewhere in the 20g area) of Nutella. So YUM and filling for me.

    And also a huge amount of ice water. That does the trick usually!

    The first thing you have to ask yourself is why you feel so hungry. Is it hormonal? Boredom? Are you overly restricting your calories? Depending on the reason, you may want to eat some food because not all hunger should be ignored.

    I feel like this all the time, I could literally ALWAYS eat... I am on the heavy side of normal, but with these habits I will be large in no time...

    Whenever that hit me, I'd get obstinate about eating anything and instead chug some water and go for a walk. The feeling would subside.

    I have a d20 die that I roll. Odds = eat, evens = don't eat. Yes, it's stupid, but it's working for me and has saved me from gorging out on foods (800-1000 cals over maintenance). No matter the outcome, I'll know what I really wanted to do.

    I try to eat less than 2,000 cals a day... I am maintaining my weight at 176, but I am tall (5'9). I find when I up my protein, I am less hungry, but I get VERY nauseous from too much protein... my stomach just cannot digest.

    I would DEF say hormones are playing a role... I have many symptoms of hormonal issues... I cannot take birth control.

    What type of protein makes you nauseous? Every single type or select types? I felt nauseous after having a Quest bar, but it was the sucralose, not the protein.

    What seems to be working for me is that I make sure of getting protein and fiber in the morning. Then in the afternoon an hour before going home I have a granola bar for another fibrous input. I get home after a 1hr commute and then have time to prepare my low-calorie nutritious dinner without feeling hungry.

    I preplan my food each day. If I'm hungry outside of these times, I just wait. I'll be able to eat again soon enough.

    I head for the protein... always have a few hard boiled eggs on hand or cheese. Couple of teaspoons of crunchy peanut butter often helps as the taste seems to linger, yum.

    This. If your weekly weight loss goal is too aggressive (and it sounds like it must be if you are hungry all the time), eat. If it's something else, try to keep yourself busy & distracted.

    Every type... it is weird... my dad and cousin have this too, I think it is genetic. I start to gag. I can do a protein shake in the morning, and some kinds of chicken. Protein bars are out of the question.
