crazy hungry!!

[Rickinator]

Im not a stranger to working out...I have been off and on whole life so far.. but iv ran across something new. I watch weight more than I ever have. So I count calories and macs pretty good. Iv been lifting a little heavyer with less cardio the past 3 weeks, Putting on more mass.. its been great Iv increased bench by almost 20 lbs..the problem is Im starved 24/7..I can eat the whole house down and still be hungry! with the exeption of fat. I eat very little fat. I just have kinda forgotten it when I add macs...(duh..I know). Im now in the start of loosing 5 lbs that I have as extra weight. so today I ate 3 meals so far and added the fat back in..I feel very satisfied. And that is for a 2200 cal allowance for me for every day for the next two weeks. I wonder if that fat neglect is the reason I was soooo hungry. Let me know what you think.Ill know more about this in a day or two.. thanks.

Protein satiates hunger, but the fat increase could have had a bearing on things too, as fat is 9 calories per gam, which is more than any proteins or carbs, pretty much irrespective of the type of fat.

Approximately how many carbs are you eating daily?

[Rickinator]

Between 40 50%... Im into day number 2 of a 2 week diet Iv put together....workin out great for me so far!

I guess you should be consulting a dietician so you would be given a plan meal that will help you not get hungry all the time. And for sure, the meals given would all be healthy.

I see now it was due to restricting calories for soo long and Lifting heavyer.. bench went up 25lbs in no time. and I cut back to 6% bf and maintained new strength..and gained 7lbs muscle..Im glad I no longer cheat myself ....just wanted to keep updated for education. Our bodies sure are smart. And don't go on a water fast unless you want to get ravenous- hungry and gain mad weight afterwards . Our body thinks we have been on "starvation island" and eventually it goes food crazy.
