So hungry today - can't stop eating!

What's up with me? Don't usually eat so much in a day. I've gone OVER my calories and I still fancy a bite (of something).

I only did 30 Day Shred and turbofire Hiit 20 minutes this morning.

And no, it's not TOTM.

Any enlightenment?

I'm drinking water to stave it but not working. Maybe I'll just go to bed (it's 9pm here in London, UK) :laugh:

  • Could be you're just stressed out about something, that usually does it for me. Or it could just be one of those days, some days I'm hungrier than others. And some days I have less willpower than other days. When those happen to coincide... problems.
  • Thanks for responding. I can't say I'm stressed about anything in particular so could be one of dem days. Anyway, I've just given in to a pot of yoghurt and some mixed nuts. Heavenly :laugh: :laugh:

    I've had those days...best thing you can do is eat a giant piece of protein (6 oz of chicken or fish) and wait 1/2 hour...chances are you'll lose your cravings and be full. Worst thing you can do is eat simple carbs...they'll just make you crave more stuff.
  • Thank you. I'm off to bed soon so that'll be that :laugh:

    I honestly feel the same way this week, I can not get full when I eat.

    You did strength training and a HIIT workout! Both types of workouts tend to make you hungry. Especially strength. I do strength 3x a week and the day after each one I'm RAVENOUS. I give my body what it needs....fuel. I eat my exercise calories and try to ensure that I get plenty of protein after strength.
  • I have Greek yogurt if I'm having a day like that. Fixes the problem every time.

    I have plenty of those days...I do manage to stay close to my calorie goal, but it is a struggle. For me, I feel like I never quite fill my self up. Anyway, my advice is to go to bed lol :)

    try eating a little more protien when it feels like you are bottom-less pit. If I hit the carbs on those days I never find the bottom, protien seems to fill better.

    That was me yesterday! And I just couldn't stay out of the peanut butter, I ate like 3 tablespoons of it! But for me, it is TTOM, so that was probably it.
  • Thanks everyone. I know what to do next time.

    I'll have to do Pure Cardio (Insanity) tomorrow to burn off what I've eaten today :laugh:
  • I've got more calories to play with today (just in case :wink: )

    I did my 30 day shred and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism :drinker:

    Every now and then I am starving all day, even though I eat as I usually do. After a couple of days I get on the scales and have often dropped 1.5 - 2 kgs in three or four days. No wonder I have been hungry. Things usually settle after a few days!

    You need to eat more protein. Protein helps you feel fuller for longer periods of time. I had the same problem when I was starting my diet and my doctor told me protein, protein, protein. So now I eat a protein bar for breakfast and I am fine!!
