I'm Still Hungry

[Swole2112]

I'm trying to cut up right now. Protein consumption is up, carbs are down and fat is moderate. The problem is, the program that I'm following leaves me hungry shortly after a meal. Should I eat more or just let myself be hungry and wait until the next meal? Any input is appreciated. Here's a sample of the diet.

1st meal
6 egg whites
50-75 g oatmeal
4 slices fat free turkey bacon

2nd meal
Protein Shake (zero carbs)

3rd meal
Turkey Sandwich (1 slice of bread piled high with meat)
Avocado (for taste)
Salad with fat-free dressing or olive oil based dressing

4th meal
Protein drink with 50g of carbs

5th meal (preworkout)
cottage cheese

6th meal (postworkout)
Protein Drink (w/ 30-50 g of carbs)

7th meal
8 oz of chicken, fish or lean red meat
Large helping of steamed vegetables

8th meal
Protein Shake (no carbs)
1 tbsp peanut butter

How long have you been doing this? You just might not be used to it yet.

I usually add fruit and veggies to add bulk. and whole grains. might make more trips to the restroom though.

Your diet looks solid to me! Anytime you drop calories you're bound to be hungry sometimes!! The hard part is figuring out when you're costing yourself muscle...and when you should just push past the hunger pangs. Stick to it!!

if you never feel satiated, you might want to go to eating 7 meals a day and spreading out those leftover kcals from meal 8 to the others. if nothing else, psychologically you'll be cognizant that you're eating more per meal than you had in the immediate past. mental battle is most of the game.

well.....hunger while dieting is common due to falling levels of leptin and increased production of ghrelin.

big glass of water before bed is shown to reduce hunger in studies

as is fiber and fats

Stay away from the fruit and the fat free dressing TOO MUCH SUGAR in my opinion anyway.
