Was a problem for me too...
I used IF and found it a lot more manageable..
So I was hungary from 10am to 12pm every day... But further on barely noticed it..
30% of daily intake at 12.00pm
A coffee
70% of daily intake between 7pm and 8pm
Yeah that sort of timing is what I normally do i.e. black coffee for breakfast and large dinner. It seemed to work for me.
But it was just odd that it stopped working for a couple of days and got hungry all of a sudden. Seems to be better today.
Originally I thought it might have been sugar/carb cravings so I caved in with some cupcakes. But the cupcakes didn't help so there went that theory.
Being Hungry - Story of my fucking life
I get violent if i haven't eaten by 10am.... Food keeps me sedated Ie a Food coma
Lift, Eat n Shit
What is your current calorie intake?I wish I was bulking but as some of my past threads reveal, I really would rather be losing weight.
The last two days I have been really hungry. I'm hungry to the point of being distracted at work when I'm trying to get things done. I'm also far from rich so I don't want to be buying food for meals I didn't plan for but my belly tells me I need. Not feeling craving for any foods in particular, just hungry. The last few weeks I've been quite good Cal and macro target wise with some progress to boot.
I tried all the tricks I know - drinking lots of water, drinking coffee, tea, eating half a meal and waiting, eating a full meal and waiting. But pretty much I'll eat a decent sized meal and within an hour I need another.
The only event I can correlate it with it is starting a new program which is a significant step up in difficultly for me. But this hungry feeling started two days after the last hard workout, so I'm not sure it's related.
Anyway, just wondering if people around here get similar things happening to you. Or is it some hormonal imbalance thing that all these websites tell me overweight people have.
Pretty sure I'm not pregnant too.
What is your current calorie intake?
Your appetite/hunger is controlled by hormones thyroid, ghrelin, leptin, cortisol, PYY (peptide YY), as well as blood glucose and insulin levels. They are all subsequently controlled by your habitual eating patterns, calorie and macro (including fibre) volumes at each feeding time, training frequency and volume as well as some lifestyle/environmental factors I.E stress and sleep patterns.
Depending on our macro balance of those calories, you may find your hunger being greater than at other times, like on your higher calorie day..Currently Cal intake is aimed at 1500 for non-training and 2000 for non-training days. Realistically I normally overshoot these numbers by 10-20% but even when I do that consistently I seem to still make progress so I don't see the need to clamp down yet.
I welcome any suggestions.
