Being full

How far have you cut calories, for how long? A big calorie deficit, or a medium-ish deficit continued uninterrupted for a long time, can eventually lead to some physiological push-back. If that's possible, it might be time for a couple of weeks at maintenance calories, i.e., a maintenance break.

I'm assuming you've considered and tried the strategies that people here often use to feel more full more of the time: Plenty of protein; plenty of fiber; eating mostly things like meat, fish, veggies, fruits, whole grains and that sort of thing, with less of highly processed or refined foods; high-volume lower-calorie foods (as discussed in this thread here on MFP).

There are also indirect possibilities to consider: For example, overdoing exercise can spike appetite, sub-ideal sleep ditto.

I'm also assuming you've gone through the process of noticing days or times when you feel more full or less full, and seeing if you can correlate those feelings with eating patterns, sleep, exercise, etc., in order to find ways to improve the situation.

Eating timing is another variable that people sometimes experiment with, how many meals, how many snacks, what time of day, what relative size, etc.

You mention snacking explicitly. While some people prefer to stick with just main meals and no snacks, that's not universal. It's fine to include some snacks, within calorie goal, if that helps. I usually try to go one of two routes with snacks: Something low in calories that maybe beats a craving (for crunch, or salt, or whatever), or something that maybe has a few more calories, but makes a decent contribution to the day's overall nutrition.

I suspect that for most of us, feeling hungry is a problem-solving opportunity at some point(s) during weight loss, and it's very possible for a routine that's been working fine to eventually need some tweaking as time passes.

There are people here who will say that being in a calorie deficit means accepting some hunger feelings. That may be true for some, but I don't think it's universal for it to be a major issue for everyone. I was able to think about some of the things I mentioned above early on during weight loss, and find tactics that kept me mostly full enough and happy most of the time, unless it was close to the next meal time. What exact things help is going to differ from one person to the next, though, I think.

Best wishes!

I was feeling like this quite often. Since I started using app mid October , I always tried to hit my Protein and Fiber goals. Also I started drink water (way more water). I noticed change in my hunger and snacking patterns.

I used to feel that way without eating fiber but don't anymore since I've started eating more veggies like baked sweet potato, boiled broccoli, and carrots, as well as fruits.

is it real physical hunger or cravings?

@sollyn23l2 Kudos on your weight loss! I can truly see the point about it being irrelevant to weight loss…

my perspective (which OP will probably never read since it’s a one and done post) - for me personally, during weight loss - I wanted a snack.. after 2000 cals a day - my body wasnt experiencing famine, I just liked oatmeal raisin cookies. So I pivoted to a lower cal sweet treat instead. What helped me personally was understanding I’m well fed - I can eat all day long.. what I want and what I need are 2 different things…

OP’s mile may vary.
