Hungry day

Usually I pack two snacks, sometimes I eat one sometimes I eat none - rarely do I eat 2.
Sadly today is a hungry day and I ate both snacks with my lunch and I'm still hungry. As soon as school is done I'm heading to the grocery store to get some cheese and salami to kick this hunger in the bum. I am working hard to resist the chocolate that I know is in my room.

I hear ya! I too am having a hungry day. Usually go from 7a-at least 3p and today I went from 9:30a-11:30a! Then I ate lunch an hour later! Really going to try and hold out til dinner, couldn't be because I'm trapped in my house today and smell the deliciousness in the crock pot could it?0

I'm having a hungry day today, too. Already eaten most of my days allotment of calories. I have stuck to low carb though. Being short I still have to watch the calories.1

Those are hard. I have them too and I've learned to go with them but keep my carbs under control even if I can't keep my cals under control. Other days I may go all day with barely any food.0

I have hungry days. Yesterday I had my lunch at 12 like usual (I don't breakfast) and then I had to run a workshop after work not getting home til 7:30 (I normally have dinner at about 5:30). I was so hungry I thought I was going to pass out and ended up eating 1000 calories in about half an hour. Still under for the day but I'm normally not that starving.0

OMG...today is a hungry day for me too! Not hungry enough to tempt me to overeat...just not feeling satisfied with what I have eaten even tho I know I met my macros. For me, now that I think about it, it just may be additional activity that is triggering this. Starting work at the local food pantry on Mon and worked again today...4 hours each day of constant walking, lifting, pushing & pulling. I wish I had realized this sooner...I would have snarfed another snack before it would interfere with my fast period.

I quite often find I drop a little extra weight after those random hungry days! Though I also get more hungry days when it is cold or I'm very tired.
I always just let myself eat to satiety on hungry days, as long as it's all low carb it's never caused me a problem. Even for people who need to keep calories low in general (I am only 5'2" and keep mine around 1500 - 1800 most days) the odd higher cal day can help to shake up the metabolism a bit.6 -
Glad to know I'm not the only one. I wasn't that much more active then normal and showed a 1 lb gain this morning, I suspect that this is all tied to TOM setting up to arrive in a week. When I've tracked almost daily before I've oticed this same trend. That I lose really well the first 2 weeks after TOM, show a 1-2lb gain the days around o ovulation, then play around gaining and losing those 1-2lbs for a week, then gain 1-2 lbs just before TOM arrives. So I know this is just water weight and it doesn't bother me, I like to weigh almost daily mostly because it motivates me AND I'm a science nerd and like collecting and analyzing that data about myself to see patterns.3

I have them too and eat more on those days. I figure it balances out my non-hungry days.

I wasn't doing that at first...allowing it to balance out but I am now and seem to be fine. Before - I would starve on those days and grumble at my new WOE. Now, it all works out in the wash 0

I eat on my hungry days and don't eat much on the days when I am not hungry. It works out over the week, so in my eyes it is OK. When I do have a hungry day I try and eat a lot of protein and fats to keep myself in check.0

I get hungrier days on my rest days...I am under the impression it's because my body is recovering from my workouts and is saying GIMME ALL THE FOOD.
But as the others have stated, it waxes and wanes. I do recall you saying that you just weren't hungry and you thought you needed to hit your macros, so this is the opposite of that. This is evidence that it really does balance out.1 -

So, speaking of hungry days...it seems any day I wake up really early, like today (0400) I STARVE all day long no matter what I do for breakfast including my BPC. I think I'm headed off to make another.0
-
today is a hungry day for me...pretty sure it's because I had so many carbs yesterday...hopefully tomorrow will be back to normal...1

My hungry days tend to fall about 10 days before my cycle starts. Without fail. I have been making an effort each month to try and find ways to at least curb the hunger. If I give in to it, it seems to grow. Kind of like feeding Gremlins after midnight. I always manage to hold out for the most part but there always comes at least a couple of those days where I absolutely can't stop myself.1

I've found that to be the case with me as well. Unfortunately, as of late, 2:30 am is about thr latest I can sleep. What I started doing (since fat is out on my current cut) is making a blender bottle load (30g+8 oz. water) of vanilla MPI to use as coffee creamer for my first pot. It doesn't keep the gut quiet for hours, but at 105 kcal, if it did, I'd probably end up deeper into VLCD land than I already am. xD0
