Still Hungry?

[jay150 5]

I just had my second fill this past Friday (5cc) and I am still feeling hungry after eating. I eat 5 times a day, 3 meals (1/2 cup) and 2 Snacks (1/4 cup)...is it typical that I would still be hungry?

why are you only eating a 1/2 cup of food? Is it because you cant eat more than that or that is what people say you should eat? You need to eat at least a cup to a cup and a half of food per meal. I dont know who started the 1/2 cup business but its not enough to sustain good nutrition.

Hi,

It all depends on what those portions consist of for me.....

If I have primarily dense Protein, I have that satisfied feeling for a longer time. If I have more veggies etc, then I get hungry sooner. I will be honest, I don't measure my portions. I use a small plate and eyeball a 4 oz serving of Protein and then add the veggies.

I am now in my green zone....aka "sweet spot". I can go at least 5 to 6 hours after eating a protein dense meal. I still have head hunger...but it is easier to control it when you are not physically hungry.
