I’m eating healthy, but I think I’m eating too much.

What did y’all do to curb hunger while cutting?

Did y’all do anything special like drink black coffee or something?

Or did y’all not do anything and it got better?

What are you currently eating? Chicken breast, sirloin, chicken thighs, lean beef, rice, potatoes.

How frequent? I eat 2-3 times a day.

How many calories? Around 1800-2000.

What type of training are you doing? Right now I do no training.

Why do you think you are eating too much?
Because I’m not losing weight, which could also be because of lack of exercise. So I was thinking of eating less like one chicken breast instead of two, but I get hungry and want to know how to control it.

I mean you are likely trying to solve an equation without all of the numbers.

How did you land on 1800-2000 as a target?

Are you weighing and tracking all food?

How tall are you and how much do you currently weigh?

I remember looking up online how low can you go calorie wise without it being harmful. I believe it was 1500, I was too hungry so I made it 1800.

Yes, I track my calories and I used to use my food scale a lot, but I figured out the amounts, so I stopped.

I mostly calorie track.

6’2 and around 235.

1,800-2,000 cals at your size with no movement is probably a very modest deficit and of course some of your calculations could be off. Your body doesn’t have an incentive too lose weight based of what you are doing IMO.

Yeah right now I’m not at the gym or doing any cardio at the moment. I’m tryna lose weight in the meantime.

What do you think about cutting carbs or should I just eat 1500?

Wouldn’t do either. 1,500 is women levels.

You gotta start moving, even if it’s just walking. There has to be some stimulus. You are already complaining about hunger at 1,800-2,000 cals. Dropping lower doesn’t make sense.

Natural Peanut butter with low fat cottage cheese will surpress your appetite like a muthafukka while getting quality protein. Mix half a cup of each and wash it down with a big ass glass of water.

Random AF but, if I'm feeling hungry for something sweet, nowadays I have some gummy multivitamins that will tide me over a lot of time.

Also, yogurt with granola chunks has helped me.

eat low calorie dense food so you get that "full" feeling of eating a big meal but still being under your maintenance cals........like I'll eat a huge salad before dinner so I don't have to eat as much of the the meal yet still feel full as fukk.

Veggies usually fall in this category too so try to get a good amount with each one of your meals.
