    Make sure you're set with an appropriate deficit (ie not 2lbs per week unless you have 100lbs to lose) and that your eating enough fat, protein and fibre

    Dude I just looked at your diary. You need to eat more real food, and supplement less. You're constantly well over 2000 calories but you aren't breaking 200grams of protein. Chicken, Steak, Fish, Turkey, and start double scooping, or scoop and a halfing that protein powder. Look at my diary I'm not perfect, but it can help a lot.

    Start eating Eggs, and oatmeal in the morning I don't even care if you keep using sugar in it, but I'd feel weak and tired eating your diet bro.

    You might want to find a different entry in the database for milk, as well. The entry you are using has no fat, carbs, or protein in the macros.

    I get a lot of protein from my dairy.

    I also agree that you need more actual food. All the sugar in those supplements and bars would definitely make me feel hungry. Try to get more fiber and more protein. So, meat and vegetables, eggs and vegetables, beans, whole grain breads or cereals.

    I don't know how big you are, but set your goals here to "lose one pound per week." Then don't try to outsmart the tool. If you're hungry, at the very least eat what it tells you to eat. Exercise requires fuel!

    EAT.

    Have a protein shake within 30 minutes of finishing your workout, then have a meal with protein & complex carbs.

    You should also have a small meal before you workout (unless you are intentionally training fasted) but allow yourself enough time to digest it before exercise.
