Even if I'm not really hungry but haven't had enough calories for the day?
I feel great about having been able to change a whole truckload of bad nutrition habits and honestly feel sooo much better both physically and mentally but sometimes it just seems like I'm eating such a huge amount of food and nibbling like a rabbit all day long - Tons of fruits, veggies, fish, and nuts with a little cottage or feta cheese tossed in. I even have a tbsp of olive oil on my salads every day but I'm still only averaging between 1100 and 1200 calories - and sometimes I have to grab a handful of almonds or walnuts to get that much (except on the weekends when I have a whole avocado for lunch ) I went through a little adjustment period when I first started out where I would be starving one day and could hardly stand to look at food the next but got past that in about 2 weeks and haven't felt hungry since.
My losing has kind of stalled - my first plateau I suppose (which, amazingly, doesn't have me nearly as freaked out as I expected). I recently stepped up the intensity of my workouts and from everything I've read here at 3FC, it seems the best idea to "unstall" would be to increase the calories a tad; but the other prevailing advice seems to be "only eat if you are really, truly hungry" - and since I'm almost never hungry....... Should I go ahead and just plan a few more calories into my day and go ahead and eat more food anyway?
Appreciate any input
