Never satisfied unless I'm eating around 1,500 calories?

I'm a 24 year old female, 5'4, and I weigh 200 pounds. I honestly don't know what's wrong with me. I am never satisfied after eating and I'm always hungry shortly after. I feel like something is wrong with me and I shouldn't possibly be hungry after eating so much food. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I had a blood and thyroid test done, but everything came out fine. With eating around 1,500 calories, I've been losing only about 1 pound a week which I'm disappointed with. I feel like 1,500 calories barely satisfies my appetite and I could eat a lot more to actually be satisfied if I didn't stop myself. I wish I was able to average between 1,300-1,400 calories. Especially with the holidays coming up, I wish I could eat less since I know on those days I will be eating a lot more calories. I'm considered obese, so I think I should be able to lose between 1.5-2 lbs per week. I weigh everything on a food scale and keep track of all my calories. I also drink plenty of water daily. Even on days I exercise, I find myself eating more to compensate for my increased appetite and I'm netting about the same amount of calories as if I didn't exercise because I eat all my exercise calories. I mainly try to eat nutritious and filling foods, although occasionally I do have junk food. Here is a example of two of my days:
Day one Example:
Breakfast: 70 gram banana: 62 cal
late breakfast: 200 grams of yogurt, 150 grams of mixed berries, 150 gram pear, 5 grams of chocolate sprinkles: 276 calories
lunch: 15 grams cheddar cheese, one egg 51 grams, 2 slices bread (65 grams), and bbq sauce: 311 calories
snack: 70 gram banana: 62 cal
dinner: 55 grams spaghetti, 100 grams mixed veggies, 16 grams powdered sauce, 130 grams of ground beef: 530 calories
Snack: 600 ml of bean soup: 210 calories
Total: 1,451 calories
Day two example:
Breakfast: 200 grams of yogurt, 150 grams of mixed berries, 179 gram pear, 5 grams of flaxseeds: 300 cal
Lunch: two eggs (97 grams), 60 grams Spinach, 130 grams Mexican veggie mix, 30 grams of turkey: 273 calories
snack: 85 gram banana: 76 calories
Dinner: 130 grams of chicken, 55 grams of brown rice, 100 grams mixed veggie, 16 grams powdered sauce, 25 grams greek yogurt: 500 calories
Snack before bed: 2 slices of bread (66 grams), 2 eggs (98 grams), bbq sauce: 305 calories
Total: 1,454 calories
Day one Example:
Breakfast: 70 gram banana: 62 cal
late breakfast: 200 grams of yogurt, 150 grams of mixed berries, 150 gram pear, 5 grams of chocolate sprinkles: 276 calories

1 Lb per week is solid...if 1500 keeps you happy, you're probably going to be more consistent and lose more efficiently in the long run...tortoise and the hare.8
-
I'll second that vote to stay at 1500 if that calorie amount is working for you.
I've lost about 120 pounds by finding a calorie level that works for me and sticking with that. My rate of loss slows down over time and there's nothing wrong with that.
ETA: I lost barely a pound a week when I weighed 250 and I'm losing more slowly than that now at about 165. Slow loss is loss. I'd rather be happy along the way than get to my goal faster.5 -
For your size 1500 isn't a lot of food and 1 lb a week is great progress. You might want to reconsider your expectations.
With that said 55 grams of spaghetti, 130 grams of chicken, etc - those amounts sound extremely small.
Yogurt makes me STARVING. Maybe try experimenting with different foods that you find more filling.8 -
Thanks for the encouragement everyone! At my height and weight, I'm considered pretty obese, so I would think that I could lose 1.5 pounds per week easily. I just feel like a black hole that's never satisfied. It's difficult because there are times that I relapse and gain a few pounds and it's discouraging especially when it takes so long to lose one pound.
@Ready2Rock206: The dinners I make range from 500-700 calories and they fill up the plate entirely. I find if I increase the amount of food, I'm still not satisfied and I fill the same, except with a lot more calories added. I also always add a shortly before I go to bed since I'm always hungry in the evening and I love going to bed when I'm fuller. I actually have been experimenting with different foods and I still am. I find that yogurt with fruit/scrambled eggs with veggies/egg sandwiches, fill me up and keep me satisfy me a lot more. They make extremely huge portions and it takes me a while to eat them which I love. I love eating oatmeal, cereal, pasta salad, wraps, and salads, but they don't even put a dent in my hungry!

That's how I was eating too. I found that I needed more protein, less fruit. Bread also seems to make me hungrier. I have one serving of fruit a day. The sugar in fruit triggers more hunger for me. Instead of the bread, I have raw vegetables and hummus, or a piece of cheese.
I also switched to two larger meals a day - one about 3 hours after I got up and one 5-7 hours later. I go to bed early and get up early. (9pm bed, up at 5) No snacks, just bigger meals with more protein. Although, you seem to have a good mix otherwise.
How long have you been doing this? It gets easier.2 -
Those amounts of food don't sound unreasonable to me.
1lb/week is a sensible rate of loss for a woman of average height. Some manage too lose a bit more quickly, many don't manage to lose as fast as you are.1 -

I admit that I eat a lot of fruit since I love fruit and it has a lot of great vitamins, but I also eat a ton of protein as well. The yogurt that I eat has some protein, the egg omelette with veggies is packed with protein, the pasta/rice that I eat have quiet a bit of protein since there whole-grain, the bread is whole-grain and also has quiet a bit of protein, and the eggs with the sandwich are packed full of protein. Some times I also eat bean soup as well which is packed full of protein. I notice that protein doesn't affect my hunger that much, but it does make a bit of difference so I always make sure I eat enough. Sometimes I do add cheese in my omelette's and egg sandwiches. I love cheese, but it's so high in calorie and it doesn't make me full at all.

Well, I can see you eat enough protein, but my point was more that the sugar in the fruit triggers my hunger. Replacing the fruit calories with vegetables, or lower GI fruit helped my hunger a lot.
I couldn't make it for long on 1300-1400 either. 1500 is totally doable, and if you walk for 45 minutes, you can eat a couple hundred more - and that makes a big difference.

Sounds like you are eating the perfect amount to stem your hunger and let you lose at a sensible level. You are doing everything right. Your diet is rounded, you have plenty of protein, whole grains and vegetables.
It's working. Please don't stress about trying to lose more per week. It's going well.1 -
1500 is not that much at all. Your TDEE is likely 2000 or near it without adding exercise. 1 lb a week should be just fine. If you want to lose at a slightly faster rate, add a little exercise. Another 500 calories a day's worth would equal 2 lbs a week, or 250 calories a day on average would equal your 1.5 you want. So if you did 350 calories of exercise five days a week you'd be at a 1.5lb deficit and able to eat your 1500. Just some thoughts.1

I'm not sure if the sugar in the fruit would be triggering my appetite, but it might be worth a try to see if that's causing it. I've been eating that yogurt with fruit meal every day for over 6 months since I absolutely love it ha ha. I really don't like vegetables unless there cooked like in a omelette, so I will need to think of another meal. I really do need to start back up with exercising. I've taken the week off because I've been sick. I rather go to the gym than walk since it's been really cold and windy here which makes going out for long periods miserable for me.
I forgot to mention, I've been doing this for about one in a half years. Occasionally a break in between every 6 months. Unfortunately I ended up gaining back a lot of weight and I didn't realize how fast it came back. I haven't noticed it getting any easier unfortunately, so that's why I'm wondering if I'm doing anything wrong.

Nothing wrong with 1500. At this point, I eat 1800 and I'm still hungry (but losing - ever so slowly).

I think your 100% right Everyone here seems to think I'm doing alright and that I shouldn't worry too much. It's strange though since in the beginning, I use to stay at 1,300-1,400 calories and be satisfied. I have around 70 lbs to lose, so losing only 1 pound a week is pretty stressful and disappointing. It's especially difficult since if I slip up for a few days, I can gain a few pounds so easily. It sucks since it takes me 1 week just to get 1 pound off. 0 -
One lb a weeknis awesome! You could be 52lbs down by next year Christmas! Eating more while losing is helping you maintain muscle mass while shedding fat, it is helping you learn good food choices, it is fueling your activity so you don't wear your body down. Losing fast is not always a good thing! Be excited, be proud, and keep up the good work!3
-
1 lb a week is great progress. experiment to find what keeps you full. For me, I eat more volume that has fewer calories so pasta is out cause I'd have to eat too little of it. I find bread, protein, veggies,home made smoothies & lots of water do it for me. Some foods make me have more of an appitite. Also how often you eat makes a difference0
-
Well, keep playing with it. When I had 70 pounds to lose, I had my goals set at "Lose 2 pounds per week," and I just suffered through those first three or four months at 1200 until I couldn't anymore. With that much to lose, you can still tweak it downward a couple hundred. I know it sucks, but ya gotta do whatcha gotta do. As you get closer to goal you can go back up (and really, you'll have to because you'll be bonking otherwise.)

What does your protein macro come to? I doubt I would hit 25% with those foods. I wouldn't consider anything under 40% a 'ton' of protein. 1/2 cup of kidney beans has 9 g of protein - how much is in a serving of your soup? 97 g of eggs has 12 g of protein - this is not a high protein meal.
The last few days of your diary are blank - was there a date range when you were logging here?0 -

I would have to double check what my daily protein macro would be I just ate a egg sandwich with bbq sauce and in total, it came to 18.6 grams of protein just for that one meal. 6.1 grams for the bread and 12.5 grams for the eggs. I thought that was a lot of protein just for one meal, especially since it says a sedimentary woman only needs 46 grams of protein a day. 0 -

I'm curious about the source of "it says", because when I put your stats into MFP and for a pound a week, the default protein macro of 20%, which many consider too low, gives you 78 grams of protein per day.

1 lb per week is amazing! Just stick to it and before you know it you will have reached your goal! No reason to change anything, you're doing awesome!0
-
I'm the same way! I want to lose 2lbs a week, but I'm sorry! I just cannot only eat 1200 calories. I will be too damn hungry. I eat abound 1500-1600 calories a day and make sure I workout and burn at least 500 just to be able to eat it!
I'm 5'4" and 163 right now.1 -
I am 5ft and currently weigh 172.8 I really started buckling down and counting calories on November 1st I have found out the last few weeks that I feel better and lose better if I also eat closer to the 1500 amount. so I have been staying between 1200-1500 calories everyday I also have a fitbit that is synced that helps me stay between those amounts. Keep up the good work! and remember slow loss is still a loss i'm prepared to nickel and dime my way to my goal weight0

I'd be willing to bet you go over that carb allotment of 194g, with the food you described.
Less carbs, more protein.3 -
The UK's NHS, for example, gives a daily RDA for protein of 46g for a woman. But that is based on an average woman of about 126lb / 9 stone / 57kg.
Their more detailed recommendation is 0.8g/kg bodyweight, which would give a much higher estimate for the OP - in the 70s, so in broad agreement with MFP's allowance.
Unlike other macronutrients, it should not scale down with a restricted calorie intake, because it is not primarily used as a fuel, but for essential maintenance.
I try to keep that figure as a minimum, which seems to work for me, but I know that a lot of the MFPers like to aim for a lot more than that.

I always log my grams and calories on a sheet of paper or a quick note on my phone. I always forget to add it in MFP or I don't see the need since I'm keeping track of it the same way. You can see in my post I weigh and keep track of everything. I don't eyeball anything and I get the grams/calories of every item. 0 -

Alas, when you do the math, you will see that "46 grams per day for the average sedentary woman" is for a 128 pound woman
Keep reading the article and then see what bumping up protein and decreasing carbs does for your satiety.0 -
Oh I would love to only eat 1500 calories a day and lose a pound a week while feeling somewhat satisfied. I tried doing it for a couple weeks and ended up binging every weekend (killing my deficit) because I felt so so so hungry.
I have to set my diary to lose .5 pounds a week or i can't stick to it.0
