hey. i had the same experience like yours too for about a week. i couldn't stop eating and got so bloated. if u feel like taking a bite out of something, maybe it's because you are craving for something, look out for the flavor, is it sweet, salty, sour, spicy? i realized that when i put food in my mouth even when i am full, it's because i was craving for certain flavor of foods and u tend to eat a lot cos u r looking for that taste. my series of eating-even-when-i'm full stopped after i ate what i really wanted, which was stg spicy and sweet. hope this helps.

Well, it's kinda with everything I eat :/ It's gone away now, but I'm scared it's gonna come back later! When will it go away? Also, is 1800 calories too much?

are you trying to lose or trying to maintain? if maintaining, you probably need a bit more than 1800.

cel301, i'm trying to maintain.

I'm eating pretty flavorful stuff...but I guess I'm not getting all my nutrients. I don't get much protein from animals and I don't get enough calcium. I am working on it tho. I do think I eat way too much pb, but right now thats my only source of protein, so, you know. :) I'm already eating 5 small meals a day. :/

Thanks for your responses.

whats TOTM?

make b-fast bigger. trust me. i never believed anyone who said big breakfasts worked, so one day i decide to try it out, &what do you know??? it REALLY worked with the nighttime cravings! i don't understand why, exactly, but it works! just try it out one day. you won't regret it?

TOTM= time of the month

My breakfast is already kinda big, but i'll try it. Thanks.

I'm pretty much vegetarian, yea, just because I'm paranoid of raw meat and can't cook it myself and my family doesn't make it, so yea.

I've been looking at the protein content of a lot of my foods lately. The oatmeal I eat has 7 grams of protien per half a cup, and I eat 3/4 cups. Plus I have pb ontop of that. I've recently considered eggs, and yea thats a great idea.

How many grams of protein should i be getting in a day?

Hmmm...I get less than 50g. So yea i guess I do need to eat more protein.

Thanks:)

I don't know your stats, but 1800 is how much I'm SUPPOSED to eat to maintain. Vegetarian sauages and eggs are both very satisfying and keep you full for longer (poached egg on wholegrain toast with tomato sauce makes a truly great breakfast!), and when I really can't resist binging I make these carrot-apple muffins which are super-filling and only 100cals each (would be even less if you use splenda, but I don't want to eat chemicals). 

I've been eating constantly lately too, though that's a good thing for me, it just drives me crazy because if I can't eat every hour or so I'm starving. Some days its even worse. I think my metabolism is whacked out. I went on a bike ride last saturday and for the next 3 days I felt starving every 20 min no matter how much I had just eaten. I'm not sure what advice I can give you other than to just listen to your body, if it's telling you it's hungry it must be for a reason. If you're not hungry and just bored, try doing something else to distract yourself and reevaluate how you feel after a little while, if you still want to eat then, go ahead.

muttlover: I add eggs to my oatmeal sometimes too! Just had to comment on that because I thought I was strange lol. I also have some vanilla whey protein powder that I mix into oatmeal or cereal, yogurt, hot cocoa, anything I put milk in. Or I make smoothies a lot with it and it has about 20 g protein per scoop!

malaika: I'm going to try those muffins! Chemicals freak me out too and I try not to eat them, but its hard once you start actually paying attention to the contents of your food, I've found it shocking how much unnessesary junk gets added to what we eat.
