appetite problems.., i don't know why... Options

[cassjamminx]

i don't know but lately i've always been hungry all the time, and i keep eating, and i have gained weight, but only like 2 pounds. but it bothers me that i've been eating more than i think i should. are they any reasons as to why that i get so hungry?

i'd think that if were using a lot of energy i'd be hungry, but i haven't being doing much... i've recently tried to give up things to cut down on calories but i still find myself hungry.. so i'm trying to eat less, but i don't want to starve myself.

any suggestions?
*MOD: i was wondering this should be under food or health but if it's not food just move it please*


thanks

No... check it, calories feeds the body energy, carbs feeds energy but when you have a lot of carbs you need to do activities, such as working out or cardio or even sports.

Protein specifically feeds the muscles for helping size and strength, but you must do activities that will stimulate the muscles. This is how you gain size, endurance, and strength.

When you eat say 5000 calories and burn 5000 calories daily, this is considered "maintenance" calories for your specific body type, such as size and weight.

When you eat 5000 calories but only burn 2000 calories, you have 3000 calories added onto your body, meaning the next morning it's gonna be stuck on you unless you burn the "extra" 3000 calories the next day. Meaning you'd have to burn 8000 calories to maintain your weight.

If you eat 5000 calories and you burn more calories during the day at an overall of lets say... 6000 calories, through out the day you're gonna be more hungry than usual. If you still eat when you're hungry but you burned more calories than what you intake in that meal... you're gonna still feel a bit hungry or get hungry again before you normally eat again.

If you want to lose weight, you must keep the same amount of protein or bump up the protein in order to keep your strength, endurance, and size of your muscles. This will only attack your fat. If you eat less calories and protein overall, you will not only lose fat but muscle as well.

If you want to gain weight (hopefully muscle weight/size) you will need to eat 5500+ calories, whicih is called above maintainance calories. But these calories all still have to be healthy and specially alot more protein to feed your muscles.

If you starve yourself, meaning you do not eat when you're hungry, all you're doing is making your body attack your own muscles and organs for nutrients, not your fat because your fat holds no nutrients.

When women areon their period, they get bloated... or shall I say dehydrated, only way to combat this is by drinkin more water. And as far as cramps, eat one banana in the morning and eat one banana at night before bed, Potasium helps out alot with cramps.

Hope that all helps out especially in understanding how losing, keeping, and gaining weight works.
