What do you eat when you're really hungry?

You don't go into starvation mode in one day.
Your body goes into starvation mode at any point if you are not consuming enough energy (food) in the day such as if you are going too long between meals ie over 3 hrs. or more. You're metabolism starts to slow down and your body will be quicker to store your next meal as fat. When your body is in starvation mode it actually holds onto fat and starts to waste muscle tissue instead. Every time you lose muscle your metabolism slows down even more.0 -
Woman trolls should only be seen not heard but you probably dont see them cause they should be in the kitchen making a ManTroll his Sammich
This woman troll is gonna b*tch slap you with her club. Now go make ME a sammich.
Again seen not heard. Try to pay attention0 -
I've heard eating protein helps with hunger. I am following Body For Life which I did 2 years ago and lost 80lbs. I went off this for a year and h ave gained 30 back due to going back to bad eating habits. I eat 5-6 small meals a day and it really helps with not being hungry all the time.0

if i'm really hungry and i dont have a lot of calories left for the day i make myself a smoothie: usually 1/3 to 1/2 cup of skim milk, 1/8 cup of non fat plain yogurt , some fruit, one apple, and 2 ice cubes. it usually comes out to 100 or less calories a serving - and i share mine w/ my mom or bro @ home.0

Wow, a lot of mean answers to this questions! Maybe she doesnt understand...I know I dont understand "starvation mode" There are LOTS of days when I complete my food journal it tells me I have not consumed enough calories and my body may enter starvation mode. This is very hard for me to understand! I am FAR from starving! I eat close to 1200 calories, butI am hitting the gym two times a day and it tell me to replenish the calories I burn! I am NOT going to do that...maybe I should eat more, but im satisfied.
As far as what do I reach for when I really hungry?....I drink some water and eat which ever meal I am suppose to. I am trying very hard to make healthy choices. If I am in the car and not able to eat a small meal I grab an apple or a grapefruit! If im very hungry it doesnt take much to satisfy me. Hope that helps
After all we are all here for the same general reason. SUPPORT!
Feel free to add me if you want, I like to think of myself as a positive person 0 -

That WomanTroll ^^ Is right0 -
My go to snacks are cream of wheat with 1/2c of soy milk for around 140 calories (I can't remember exactly). I drink it so that it takes longer to consume and I end up feeling full until lunch time. I also have found 1-2 hard boiled eggs is a PERFECT lay over snack that doesn't lead me into the munchies and lastly popcorn. I have to admit fruit or vegi's leave me with the munchies. So I eat them with my meals instead. The trick is to find what works for you. Good luck!0

6 or 7 nuts? Seriously? If I'm really hungry, 6 or 7 nuts are only going to make me angry. Really hungry? How about 2lbs of chicken breast, pounded flat, packed with bacon and cheese, rolled up, floured, crisped in some EVOO and then baked. On top of that, let's put an entire 2 heads of broccoli and a glass of whole milk. That's satisfaction!
That. Sounds. Amazing.0 -

Robin even though I dont do this exactly you definitely need to eat most of those calories you burn back.

I try to eat fresh baby carrots, yogurt, or nutri- grain bar with a cup of skim milk. I usually gets me through to the next meal.0

So...you're getting what, 5 or 6 hundred cals a day?0 -
because I think my body will store the food I'm putting in it.
That's not really something to worry about if you consume less calories (a deficit) than your body needs to maintain itself (maintenance calories / TDEE) over the course of the day / week.
It's true that your body will store any excess energy (calories) you provide through food intake that you do not immediately need in a number of places including fat cells. However, this is offset if you remain in a calorie deficit as your body will pull that energy back out (oxidation) to fuel your daily functions in the absence of enough calories. Essentially it balances out. That is why the number of times you eat a day, when you eat and so on aren't something to be overly worried about.
In essence eat what you want, preferably something that keeps you fuller for longer (satiety) though as that will prevent over eating during the remainder of the day.0 -
If I want something savory: A VERY toasted slice of ezekiel bread with 30g of avocado, salt and lemon.
Something sweet: Quaker caramel rice cake with 16g of Peanut Butter & Company White Chocolate peanut butter and 30g of banana.
Both under 200 calories. Takes the "edge" off my hunger and allows me make better food decisions later.0 -
I have heard on Dr Oz to eat about 6 or 7 nuts.. or some type of healthy fat and 20 minutes later you won't feel as hungry. The fat sends a message of satisfaction to your brain telling you that you are full.
I haven't tried it yet... I tend to grab anything I can find if I'm starving... and then work it off later... lol.
I watched one of Dr. Oz's show (where he suggested carrying one serving of raw almonds, about 24 pieces, just to have on hand should hunger pains develop). I now purchase bulk raw almonds and divide them into single servings. I always have one in my purse -- just in case. Note: At first I was automatically eating them after my workouts, but then I started to pay attention to see if I really "needed" them (vs. "wanted" them). Now I only eat them if I am truly hungry. It does work, especially if I have to go to the grocery store. That plus water.0 -
When I'm really hungry, I eat a protein bar. But, I try and avoid letting myself get REALLY hungry - I do better to keep my blood sugar stable.
I would like to mention that starvation mode doesn't occur because you are "very hungry". It happens after a very long period of time with a severely reduced caloric intake.0 -
A delicious cheeseburger lol. Just kidding, usually a piece of fruit, pbj,oatmeal or cereal. That usually does the job0
-
First, I usually drink down a bottle of water. Then I will reach for a piece of fruit, or carrot sticks, or nuts. After I have let this settle down then I will know if I was just dehydrated and really thirsty, or just needed a small snack, or if my body really is telling me that it is way hungry and I need to eat something more substantial as well.0

Protien and Fiber all the way!0

Food.
When I'm really hungry, I eat food.0 -
You should ALWAYS eat workout calories back. If you aren't you are doing your body a disservice, especially if you are not eating 1200+ calories. Any grown adult needs more than this and you are not being healthy.Wow, a lot of mean answers to this questions!

I like to chew my own toenails when I get that hungry.
Haha! You must be fairly flexible to contort yourself enough to get your mouth to your toes...
I like to eat what is stored in my cheeks or between my teeth when I get really hungry. It saves on packing snacks for the day.0 -
"Starvation mode" is not common and is not the same as "being really really hungry". You certainly aren't going to enter starvation mode by 10 am.Like if you waited too long to eat and you're in starvation mode and you just KNOW your body is gonna store whatever you put in your mouth..?
that's just wrong, one time I was like really, really hungry and I forgot to eat my sugar smacks before I went to work and *BAM* right there at like 9:15, I went into starvation mode. It hurt like hell! Then I just got scared and so I ate a twinkie and then I felt better. But it was dicey there for a minute. Oh, and now what am I gonna do if I the twinkie company goes out of business. I mean, I've tried moonpies before and it didn't bring me out of starvation mode, I just sat there starving with moonpie all over my face, it only seems to be a twinkie that does it.0 -
For me, it is a big spoon of peanut butter!!! 2 Tbsp=190 calories 0

If I've eaten all my calories, I wait until morning.
Otherwise, I'll usually eat an orange or an apple or banana.0 -
Try having a large glass of cold water and a banana, which seems to satisfy me while i'm preparing my meal0
