Is it what I'm eating or do I really have a hole in my leg?

So far today I've eaten as far as lunch, and not worked out yet.

    what does that have to do with a hole in your leg? I'm so confused.

    The hole in the leg just means the food has not filled them up.....

    Are you eating enough protein?? protein gives a feeling of satiety..

    This made me laugh - I thought the same thing! What have you been eating, gymbunny? Maybe add more fiber to fill you up?

    What did you eat today? Maybe we could make suggestions if we know how you eat.

    Eat every 2-3 hours. That's what I try to do. I would never last hours and hours between eating. :smile:

    If there's a hole in your leg you probably have bigger problems than being hungry. I'd see a doctor.

    I noticed you didn't eat that much for breakfast. It won't help for today necessarily, but I would add protein to your breakfast to help fill you up so you don't get so hungry later in the day. In the meantime, eat a snack of lean protein and a healthy carb (fruit/veggie or whole grain) to tide you over until supper. Don't worry about going over your protein for today.

    I need a ton more protein than you're sporting to fill me up, but then again I'm starving today myself (TOM makes me soooo hungry)

    No wonder you're hungry!!!!

    No Protein!!! You MUST eat protein...

    Scrambled egg whites in the morning for breakfast..3-4 of them...along with a piece of wheat toast...

    If you're not eating a proper breakfast, you'll feel hungry all day long....

    Ha ha ha I knew exactly what you meant. When I was little I remember my mom telling people that my brother had a "hole in his leg" because he was always eating and never seemed to fill up. That being said, I would be starving if I ate that little. I do much better with a hearty breakfast with whole grains, protein, and fruit. And I eat something every few hours. Give it a try and good luck!

    I agree with you there - since eating breakfast i feel like a completely different person and don't have a grumbly tumbly!!

    I drink a TON of water.. I just don't log it for some reason.

    I'll get some eggs for hardboiled eggs.
    Eating ANY kind of breakfast is an effort for me, but I cannot be this hungry!!
