But remember, it's also calories out that is part of the equation. I don't know about you, but as I've lost my last 20 lbs I have had a huge increase in the amount of exercise that I get out of my exercise time, if you get my meaning.
Just my cardio 1/2 hour alone is now ranging in the 550 cal range (according to the machines) most days as opposed to 490 (according to the same machines). Then there is the extra weight I can lift, all of the extra walks I've been doing and the fact that I can now "jog" a bit around the racquetball court after balls.
The crux of it is that even though I am following the exact same eating plan, and although my daily maintenance cal's has dropped by over 100 cal's per day (again according to estimators, I know this stuff isn't set in stone) I've been losing weight faster than ever and am seriously considering upping my cals for a while.
So, long story short, you might want to really consider how much of a workout your workouts are now. There is a difference between craving and hunger- I know you know that
. If you are really, truly feeling ravenous on some days, there very well might be a very valid reason, and you might want to consider slipping in an extra portion of something healthy here and there.
