Appetite in overdrive!

I drink alot of black coffee, and that seems to help (probably not healthy though).
Drink some water, chew gum...that helps too.

Also, make sure to eat back at least part of your calories. Your body uses more calories when you work out, especially if you're doing cardio. Your body needs the extra fuel to stay healthy. Most fitness trackers OVERESTIMATE calorie burns, so I usually eat back only 50% of my workout calories. Hope this helps!

You may not be eating enough nutrient dense foods or getting enough water but it's too hard to say because everyone is different.

Besides just forcing yourself to keep in calories? I have no idea... There are days i'm 100% content eating 1,200 calories. Other days? I could eat a steak the size of my head and still want more food. It seems to only happen when i do strength training. It just runs me into the ground. I've recently added more protein but hasn't seemed to help.

I also get crazy strength training hunger! I can do hard core cardio and feel no increased hunger, but spend 45 minutes in the weight room and I want to eat all the things.

If I have too many calories to early then I stop eating and have coffee and water, and just wait for dinner. You still have 700 calories left for the day, which is a lot of food still to be had. If you don't have a medical condition which requires you to eat at specific times throughout the day, just put the fork down lol. Try to keep your mind occupied so you are not focused on food. Part of losing weight and transitioning to a healthy lifestyle is to learn how to eat within your means, and learning to ignore "hunger pangs" when you've already eaten. Back when I used to binge eat I found if I ate early in the day it would set me up to go way over on my calories for the day, because I would eat constantly. I tried only eating in thre evenings, and that wasn't a solution for me as I would feel horrible during the day, so now i do eat breakfast and lunch, but it's just controlled and functional. With breakfast, I truly to get healthy fats in combination with carbs for a more sustained energy release, which usually amounts to Kiefer in the morning with fruit. Lunch is similar, usually fruit and nuts. Dinner is my biggest meal, and I don't pay too much attention to the macros for that, aside from ensuring that I hit my protien macro. I no longer snack, and I make certain my breakfast and lunch are 300 calories or less, so I can still splurge on dinner. I am a quantity eater, I like large portions so to keep large portions I focus mainly on whole foods, as they seem to be lower in calories and higher in nutrients. I also love carbs, so I eat tons of fruit, but since pairing it with a fat seems to keep the energy level instead of having sugar spikes. I am saying this as an example - you have to find what works for you. Good luck!

I take this b good day eat what I want if only stay away salty cheetos that is my biggest problem It hurt my weight this morning I only did 1 evening so I know not do that again .I was doing pretty good last week but I am going pick myself up keep going.

I've noticed that lately I've been getting hungrier and my endurance has been suffering as the week goes on, and I'm just doing cardio and haven't implemented strength training yet. This week I've started upping my protein to see if it increases satiety, and I'm going for 1700-1900 calories daily instead of the 1500-1700 that I've been adhering to thus far. 6'1 300lbs male btw. Once I start on strength training I'll probably even boost up to 2000-ish, depending on my results.

Where are you in your menstrual cycle? When my appetite spikes up premenstrually, I honor it and eat at maintenance for a few days.
