Hmm. Well when we stayed with my mom, food was very scarce, but when we stayed with my dad, it was basically gorge fest, order a pizza for each kid twice a week type thing.
I've tried eating other stuff for breakfast -- the bacon and eggs are a joke, I'd gain weight in no time if I tried that. Sounds delicious though ha ha ha ha. I've tried oatmeal and fibery/proteiny stuff to make me stay full longer but it doesn't help. Thanks for all the replies so far.
BTW my dad also has this exact same problem, has for as long as I can remember.

The little snacks don't help. I get hungry 10 minutes after I eat them, plus gain weight. Also I don't know what hypoglycemic is, and I very, very rarely go to the doctor.

Calorie Needs for Men). If you require 2500 calories a day to not feel hungry, going to 1500 cold turkey will be very hard. Figure out your maintenance calorie needs, then gradually reduce so you won't feel so hungry.
If you've already tried that, I'd suggest increasing your activity levels and seeing if you can find low calorie foods that will fill you, like raw vegetables. |
I currently weigh 240. I'm 5'10". I was 220 about 6 months ago. Before I started working out heavily I was 210ish. I was 280 before I lost the 70 pounds.
I know my body requires more than 1500 a day, but the problem is that if I do ANYTHING more than that, even 1800, then I gain weight. 2000 and I gain 5 pounds a month. 2500 per day and I gain 10 pounds per month.
The sad part is if I eat 1500 or 2500 per day I'm still hungry so what's the point.
