So does anyone else stay hungry all the time? I finished a cut about a month back and did maintenance calories for 2 weeks, then 100 calories over maintenance since. But the past two weeks, I have just been eating everything. My appetite is ridiculous. I was 193 at the end of the cut, now I'm 202. I wanted to stay around 200-205 while trying to get stronger on bench. But with my appetite its pretty hard to stick to the 2400-2500 calorie a day plan.

Anyone else deal with this? What do you do ?

This can be caused by some medications so check your prescriptions.

For me personally I get used to being hungry and can begin to take some pride in pushing the plate away.

In my opinion, if you're doing it right and not in a serious deficit, there's no reason to ever be hungry. Ballpark numbers here but on a deficit of 500 cals/day, I'm never hungry. I may have some cravings but not at all famished. Right now I'm trying to jam 3,800-4,000 cals down my pie hole and feel disgustingly full all day.

I dont have an issue on a bulk getting in over 4000+ calories and if I had the time I think I could eat more. Not necessarily hungry where I can’t control it but hour after I eat a big meal I can eat again no problem

I’m full almost all the time right now. I feel like I should be on “my 600lb life”

Is your body missing something in your diet? Hungry because your dehydrated? Eating because you’re trying to get more salt. Something like that?

Are bodies trick us into getting it what it needs one way or another. Sometimes the signals are a little confused though.

You guys who say you shouldn't be hungry on a deficit... Y'all ever wonder why I walked around at 260 with ease and you are like barely breaking 220?

And no I don't mean that as an insult.

I have a voracious appetite. I am always hungry. Even when maintaining weight. Only time I wasn't hungry was when I pushed into the upper 280's.

Bundy I weighed 287lbs at five feet and eleven inches. You really think I haven't tried eating often? C'mon man I know what I am talking about.

Oh I like Jeopardy questions: What is 8% body fat? :32 (17):

The ****...

First pic is 260 and second is 242. Not 8% but not some fat slob either.

This sounds like a good way to look at it. I did get used to being hungry when I was doing the cut, but afterwards I let myself be more lenient with food.
