I'd be hungry all the time too if I aimed for 1,200 calories and worked out an hour a day every day. Especially doing HIIT. Maybe try doing less cardio and logging food intake more rigorously, so you can be 100% sure that you're hitting a reasonable deficit. Based on logs presenting & your attitude it sounds like you're…

I was "orthorexic" back in college, I think. Was vegan, then cut out gluten, then all grains, then soy (plus some weird stuff like apples, raw tomatoes, and sunflower seeds.) By the end I was eating almost 100% local fruit and veg, hummus, pasta sauce, and Vega protein powder. Was miserable 24/7 and a frequent flier in the…

Looked at your log. Your calories don't seem too low to me. Have you tried tracking your energy levels along with your diet? Stuff like macronutrient breakdown and meal timing can affect your energy, and what works varies from person to person, so watching for patterns can be helpful. eg: I've noticed that my energy levels…

Net 200 calories a day is starving yourself. Not like the catch phrase "starvation mode" -- that is a level of calorie intake that will cause you serious problems. Since most of the energy you use in a day will come from your body breaking down body mass, you will be exhausted pretty shortly, so no hopes of burning 500…

WANT! That tempeh looks so good! Here's my dinner tonight: pork chops, dry-fried tofu, and an excess of beets:

Here's my recipe for microwave popcorn that I used to make when I was a lazy vegan. Popcorn kernels into a brown paper lunch bag, fold it on top, tape the bag, and microwave it. When it's all popped, spritz the inside of the bag with vinegar from a spray bottle, then add salt (and maybe herbs or whatever), then shake it.…

I can say "it's a marathon, not a sprint" -- that I'm short and close to my goal weight, and trying to build strength at the same time, so even when I'm keeping to my diet and training perfectly it should take me a month+ to see non-trivial losses in scale weight (especially given that I have one of those crappy dial…

I don't do keto but I recently upped my protein intake a lot and it's massively reduced my desire for sweet food. Maybe that's related.

I was guessing really short... yeah... you're right, those numbers need to be wrong somewhere.

Calories in/calories out is what *weight loss* comes down to -- not necessarily fat loss. Your body weight is made of fat mass and lean mass. Right now according to your stats, you have 42 lbs of fat and 60 lbs of lean mass, so to get down to a healthy 20% BF percentage just by losing weight, you would need to drop 27 lbs…

Dill, garlic powder, boiled carrots, and chicken soup stock, and no kombu or mushrooms? This is imitation cup noodle, not ramen, right? I don't understand why you'd want to imitate that unless the only thing you know how to make is cup noodle.
