    it is hard to give advice if you don't have your diary open. What have you eaten?

    Are you eating your exercise calories in addition to those MFP allot you for food? If not, you will see a short-term radical loss (as you will be radically under your normal daily allowance) followed by a plateau, followed by more worrying side effects.

    To start, I would personally ditch the cereal, skim milk and bagel for breakfast and opt for a few eggs (whole) instead. I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE my morning bowl of oatmeal, but since switching to eating eggs (sometimes with bacon, sometimes with veggies, sometimes with fruit), I have been a lot less hungry in the mornings at least. This morning I had two eggs and about 2-3 oz, leftover roast beef and coffee with full-fat coconut milk (the stuff from the can) and I was really satiated until well past 2pm.

    I would also personally eat more period. I mean, if you're hungry! Make it quality food like meat, vegetables and fats and your blood sugar will stay a lot more even and you should feel less hungry. I don't know your size, but I'm 5'4 and I've done pretty well loosing weight on about 1600 calories a day.

    EAT EAT EAT! if you're hungry, then eat. but you may need to be more planned with your food choices (i haven't looked at your diary though). make more sensible choices throughout the day. eat things like porridge that keep you full for longer.
    and make sure you are drinking enough water- our thirst mechanism turns itself off when we start to get dehydrated (dumb planning!), and people often mistake thirst for hunger. and are you exercising, and eating back some/all of those calories burned?
    but you shouldn't feel hungry, because then how will you keep this up? it won't last unless you feel like you can keep it up- i couldn't diet if i felt hungry all the time.

    i hope you figure it out. good luck.

    I would actually keep the cereal BUT add some good protein as well, so maybe have a boiled egg as well! Protein keeps you feeling full, but if you are hungry you still need the calories from the cereal, but there is no protein in your first meal! Just have a bit of a play with it! See what seems best for you! I personally have oats with blueberries and 100gms of chicken or 250ml egg whites at breakfast, carbs to refuel the body after sleep and protein to keep me full!
