MY $.02 throw away as necessary but for those reading this looking up to you...

Id be starving too if I were eating as little as you during the day... esp when youve been doing this for as long as you have with your personal goal in mind... No, you will NOT be full, you ARE starving yourself for the activity you do (going off what I remember)... without reading your log I bet there was a few binges in there as well as late night hunger pangs to eat the house very often if not daily... Im assuming cravings as well

Before bed last thing you want is to fill yourself with is carbs that cannot be USED (I didnt name specifics here btw)...
Your body is more likely to munch on protein tissues and save the rest for fat storage, Im pretty sure that is a proven fact after a certain amount of time ... after a week or two, nah, youll be fine, going on 2+ weeks, your body WILL start to change and adjust to the lack of nutrients as it had time to catch up to what you have been ingesting, or lack there of...

All the best to you, I know you dont listen to me but for the others who follow your log and may not post.. etc..

bunz....OF COURSE I LISTEN TO YOU!!! you have taught me so much since joing here what you say is pretty much gospel! i am stubborn though i'll give you that but whenever you make a suggestion i always contemplate it. i appreciate your honesty always and your sincerity

my way of thinking is if i binge the way i do at night i might as well make sure the calories are light during the day (1600-1800) b/c by days end i'll prob end up with 2400 cals. i feel if i ate more during the day it wouldn;t have an effect on me meaning i would still be just as hungry at night. from now on i'm just going to throw down a muscle milk shake around 9...that at least fills me.

That should not happen.

Maybe you need to adjust your ratios to make your body happier.

hmmm....maybe if i threw in oatmeal in meals 2 and 4??? i'll try that tomorrow...bunz/sarge what do you think? that would be another 60g of carbs i'm adding roughly...and about 400 cals

 

[SgtSlaughter]

that'd be great and I think you'll feel much better... probably have a better workout too with some carbs right before.

Generically hunger exists from lack of food, healthy fats, poor meal combining, over eating of carbs/sugar (brain rips thru glucose it and you're hungry again), your BODY telling you to feed it so it can hold onto to tissues being munched on for 'nourishment' ... Im sure there's alot more, stress, anxiety, etc...
I dig the idea of protein + fat before training and protein + carb post

Protein & fat before bed, etc

but i dont know HOW you are going to respond since IMO your metabolism took a bit of a beating over the last few weeks.

If you train in the PM then of COURSE you are going to want to CHOW post wo, my last meal was ALWAYS the largest, after training shake, an hour later, meat, tato/rice/ veggie ... but I could get away with it b/c my body adjusted and I trained in the evening (back in the project days)

I dunno jp, Im not telling you what to do, but I KNOW why you are suffering that's for sure, just make note of it for next time you can try it a different way.

ok....i read you loud and clear. i think i'm hungry alot more at night b/c i train at night. maybe i'll ditch the pwo shake and eat real food b/c that shake does nothing for me in the area of filling me. lets see if i can tweak the diet a little with your help

meal 1 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and pineapple
meal 2 2 cups of eggwhites and 1/2 cup of oats
meal 3 grilled chicken (or some type of lean beef) with green veggies
meal 4 i can of tuna and 1/2 cup of oats
pwo 2 cups of eggwhites and 1/2 cup of oats
meal 5 chicken or beef with wild rice and green veggies
meal 6 22 almonds

i'll try this starting tomorrow and i'll see if i'm less hungry in the evening. hoepfully i'm not this way i'll avoid eatin like 3k cals for the day

I put the frozen berries into my post workout shake along with oats and protein and I find it to be EXTREMELY filling.. because the frozen berries make it a thick and rich consistency... just a thought mang.

I dont think 2 cups of egg whites are gonna give u a filling feeling at all, but try it and see what works.
