Thank you to everyone here!! You've all done so much to help clear up my confusion. I was so worried I would have to find time and an extra stomach to have another meal or two!!3

And I'm FULL and satisfied.
(I used to eat MAYBE two meals per day, but very heavy on processed and fast food so high calorie/bad fats.)
Apparently I should eat back the 300-500 calories I burn exercising every day. (I just learned this, which explains why I've been losing more than 2 lbs per week the last several weeks.)
How do I do that when I'm already satisfied?
I wish I had your problem.3 -
300-500 calories isnt that much to eat back.
Have a glass of wine. 1-200 cal / glass
Or a snack bar. 200calories a pop
or a (small) packet of peanuts or cashews. ( can be up to 700calories per packet.

For starters what are you basing that number on? Fitness trackers and calorie burn meters on machines are well known to be overblown. What most people do is start out assuming that you're only actually burning half that amount and then slowly increasing how much you eat back until your weightless is at the desired rate. In terms of how to add them back when you're stuffed, go for low volume but calorie dense things like olive oil (I add it to salads or dips).
Except when they state they have been losing over 2 pounds a week which is more than 100 calories in deficit.....1
