I'm Starving!

I'm with those wondering about that calorie goal. Look over your day and ask yourself a few questions. 1) Were you hungry all day, or just between lunch and supper? 2) Was there something that increased your stress which made you want to eat more? (wondering because you mentioned Big Mac, that's one of my go to for stress eating) 3) How much water or other liquids are you drinking during the day? Some people have found that their hunger signals are messed up and that drinking a glass of water helps with food cravings because they are actually thirsty. 4) Would you feel more full if you made some changes? Others mentioned proteins and fats. I look at my protein and fat goals as minimums, and fill in the rest with carbs. I also try to bulk my meals with lots of veggies. They are lower calorie, higher fibre, and have some great nutrients (depending on which veggie you chose). For the next couple days, consider increasing your calorie intake, and play around with some different foods to see if you can find something that helps you feel full longer.

Eat loads of veg. I had a soup with half a kilo of vegetables and it was only about 200cal. I was so full for hours. For breakfast I have oatmeal with fruit, it also keeps me really full. I snack on more fruit and veg and honestly sometimes I have to eat when I'm not even that hungry just to not eat too little calories. Seriously, veggies will be your saviour

You should absolutely not be starving. Eating too little can make your body go into starvation mode and store fat. For the rest the posts above have said enough - less carbs, more proteins and healthy fats. And water, lots and lots of water. Good luck!

After adding more calories, fat, and protein, know that sometimes you have hungry days. It happens sometimes.

If you've just recently started I would definitely allow yourself more calories. As you go on at a reduced calorie plan you'll adjust and it's not as much of a shock. If you just started it seems your calories are quite low. As others said protein. My go to is bacon "pork or turkey", eggs, mushrooms sauteed, salsa, cottage cheese, etc. They're filling and low in calories. I eat almost every day 1-2 pieces of bacon, with 1 egg, sauteed mushrooms, maybe some spinach or salad greena all on a 70 cal tortilla with ketchup, salsa, or Chipotle sauce on it... It's like all together -200 or 250 Cals.... I've been known to eat 2-3 of those a day spread out...

I generally have around 1200 calories and am rarely hungry. I have a piece of multi-grain toast with either an egg or 1 oz of cheese for breakfast plus either a glass or OJ or a piece of fruit. The combination of carb and proteins holds me until lunch. The rest of the day I have a mixture of fruit, vegetables, a little fish or meat, with occasional grains like quinoa or little rice. On the days I do want a snack, I have hummus with apples or carrots, a yogurt kale smoothie, or a few squares of dark chocolate or a dark chocolate cookie. Also have a small glass of red wine a few times a week. I am a big believer in eating the way I want to continue the rest of my life, so make a lot of my own soups and the evening meals are low calorie dishes I gather or adapt from the internet. I find that cooking with raw products gives me better control than buying packaged food.

1380 calories for someone who is 265 lbs is not enough.
I'm 270 and my calorie goal is set at 1970 and that's with losing weight consistently.

1) At 265lbs, 1300 calories is very low. Eat more.

2) Your diet is all carbs. Eat more protein and fats.
