OK, I ate a sandwich (deli shaved turkey, tomato, spring mix greens and mustard), a plout and drank 16oz 2% milk for dinner. That was about 2 h ours ago .... I am feeling hungry! or is it not hunger?? This is something I struggle with almost daily!
Any suggestions?

not enough information to answer.
what have you been eating all day? for the past week? what is your activity level?
if it was me, i'd most likely be hungry, yes. i eat every 2-3 hours0 -
Try adding more Casein protein to your diet?0

a Plout? WTH is a plout?? *LOL*0

When I get like that, I give myself a test. I'll say to myself "If you're hungry, go eat the apple that's in the fridge." And if I think in reply "But I don't want that, I want ____" then I'm not really hungry. I'm bored or tired or something.0

She misspelled is all, a pluot is a fruit.0 -
Drink some water, a lot of people mistake thirst for hunger, because they get thirsty, think it's hunger, eat, and the water from the food makes the thirst go away. So try drinking water, and see if it goes away.0

their is hunger, and their is the desire to eat something. i don't know your diet, current or past, and other info, but if you are new to calorie counting then it will take a while to get use to the smaller portions.0

So true. I have never actually tried that, but I feel most of the time that I reach for the unhealthy snack or i find myself snacking in general it is just because I am tired or bored.0 -

How could you know that? Are you some kind of witch?0 -
Also make sure you don't have an ulcer. A lot of times ulcers start off feeling like sharp hunger pains. i used to think i was starving till I found out the real reason.

OMG, LMFAO0 -
I've been having a similar issue. One, make sure your drinking enough water/fluids. Some people can't really tell the difference between if they are hungry or thirsty. When you feel hungry go to the kitchen and drink a glass of water and wait 10 mins. If you still feel hungry then, you probably are.
I'm also a person who never really ate enough before, I never felt hungry. Now that I am counting calories and making sure I eat I've noticed that I actually do feel hungry now. Don't know if its psychological or if maybe its because now my metabolism is speeding up making me burn more and then making me hungry more often. Try eating more frequent but smaller meals?
I'm not an expert just guessing though. Seems logical to me.

I'm a genius, that's how. :happy:
The store by my house sells them, it's plum/apricot fruit.0 -
LOL - a cross between a plum and apricot - there are a few different varieties and all are awesome!0
-
I drink so much water I wonder if it is too much lol0
-
Adding more vegetables will help.0

deink alot of what I agree with the the other person who posted about water and confusing thirst with hunger. Also, try snacking on raw veggies- or even steamed. They're good for you, have tons of vitamins and minerals, and you can eat a whole lot and not feel guilty! Also try adding things that are higher in fiber. This stuff helps you feel fuller longer.0

IT IS NOTTTT HUNGER BEEN THERE and done the following: ate so much i found it an excuse... WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS DRINK 4 GLASSES OF WATER yess it sounds a lot and can make u end up vomiting but ur probably dehydrated and dont even know it... you can have a fruit snack to block the hunger. try this and if it doesn't work ....it will work.0
-
if your a type O blood plums and prunes are excellent if nott then the both can work im just stating whats highly beneficial .... so you decide0

You just think your hungry. I have been thinking about this for days now. After a few hours of eatting I have to ask myself I'm I really hungry or can I just ate something. If your feeling hungry after a few hour after then you have to add some more food with your lunch, dinner, or add some more small snacks. It's hard to tell if your really hungry or not but sometime you could just eat something. Just think about.0

OH! I thought she tried to actually type "fruit" and you somehow worked that out from "plout". You scared me.
I have never heard of a pluot. I think I would like them, though.0 -
that is a good point lol! I go to the gym 5 - 7 times a week and almost always do both cardio and circuit training. I am usually under my calorie count before I log exercise and drink close to if not more than a gallon of water most days. I rarely drink soda. I sit at a computer for work and commute 1.5 hours a day so I am on my butt most of the day other than the gym and garden - now that I am thinking about my day, although I thought I wasn't active enough maybe I am over thinking it and need to make sure I am sure if it is hunger and not boredom?0

I had this problem for the first 6 weeks or so from when I started MFP. I think it was my body's way of adjusting to a more normal level of food intake. Now I'm eating ~ 1680 calories and never really find myself hungry (and I'm a big guy). You also have to make an effort to eat the right (filling) foods -- lean proteins, high fiber (whole grains), etc.0

I felt like that tonight too. I just had a small bowl of soup and that made me feel better but didnt add lots of calories.0
