Why am I (F, 140lbs, 5”1) soo hungry on 1600 calories - whether I exercise or not?

@wolly If you aren't doing morning cardio, try 8-16 intermittent fasting. Its a bit rough when you're getting used to it but once you start you won't get hungry until lunch, then you can have a small snack in the aftternoon and dinner before 8pm. The meals are bigger so it doesn't feel so much like dieting, although you're still eating the same calories.

@folashade +1 - I do a 1-2pm start and stop eating at 9-10pm.

It makes eating less calories so much easier and the difference from a cut to a bulk is no breakfast so your routine doesn't have to continually change too much.

@wolly Carb the fck up and 1600 is not that much

@warsawbialystok123 1600 is fine if she's hitting her macros.

 

[warsawbialystok123]

@cindychar I mean you can hit macros on 1200 but its not point if you hungry and sign of hunger is not eating enough

 

[cindychar]

@warsawbialystok123 Not eating enough to maintain her current weight - which is what she wants.

@wolly Lack of energy can come from not getting enough minerals
