Always Hungry

[pjackson0523 158]

I eat between 3 to 4 meals a day, but, after about an hour after I eat I'm hungry again. Is it because I'm unable to get all of my Protein or Fluid? I'm 9 weeks out and I have never been able to get in all of either.

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

What are you eating? How often? whay can't you get your protien and liquids in ? Are you feeling overfull when you do eat? I have that overfull feeling when I eat then I am staving again a short time later.

I usually have a Protein shake and boiled egg for Breakfast. If I get hungry before lunch, I have more Protein, like boiled egg or Peanut Butter. For lunch I eat about 1/2 of an Atkins meal. For dinner, I eat a meat and veggie. But, I ate at 6 tonite and just had to get 2 cheese sticks and still hungry. I have to stop eating at mealtime because i get full quickly.

Im having the same troubel I had surgery October 22, I feel like im eating all of the time because Im so full but then a hour after I eat im very hungry. I have only lost 26 lbs what is the norm for two months out?

I don't think there is a norm, necessarily.

But I'm not sure how you're not getting your Protein in.

Today, I had a Protein shake for Breakfast (Premier Protein, 30g.)

Three chicken strips for lunch, about 4.5 ounces (this was admittedly more than I usually eat, but I was hungry today), and that was over 30 g of Protein.< /p>

dinner was 3/4 cup of chili. About 25 g of protein.

I'm supposed to try for at least 60 grams.

A boiled egg doesn't have very much protein, as these things go. I would try for a denser protein, like chicken breast.

I do find that when I start the day with a meal that has higher carbs, it sets the tone for the rest of the day. I'm 10 weeks out, eat about 1,000 calories a day. I will say that I am not often hungry, but when I am I find something to eat and try to make it very protein dense. Then again, I also try to make sure that my meals are in the 250-300 calorie range and that they won't go right through me.

The reason I don't get all my Protein is I never finish anything. For instance, I can't get down a whole shake, or a whole chick breast or a whole anything. I piece on stuff all day. I'm guessing i'm not getting my Protein in. I need to start counting again., Haven't done that in awhile.

I find that I am hungry a couple hours after eating. I am trying to go with eating smaller amounts more often. I've not mastered this yet, as life gets in the way.

It is really helpful to track for a couple of reasons. You will figure out quickly what the better choices are nutritionally. And also, when I'm feeling hungry I can check my intake to see what I've really eaten and make an educated choice about *how* hungry I am.
