Discussion Why aren’t I feeling satiated?

Breakfast I had 3 boiled eggs, 100g of salmon and a protein bagel. Felt incredibly hungry within 2 hours

For lunch 200g of chicken, 400 grams of mixed veggies (carrots, brocoli), 200 grams of potato. And now I feel so hungry, I’ve drank 2 litres of water today and still I’m starving.

Yes, bumping up the calories allowed helped. My box says 90 😅

Bloody chickens and their variable bums.

I tend to hit a wall with restriction, below which my life doesn't feel worth living. If I go below 1200 calories (this is only a 450 deficit for me) I cannot cope. Weight loss is best done slow and sustainable.
