Normally for breakfast I eat an apple and an orange, and I am

completely full and satisfied. But when I actually realized yesterday

that this is only 150 cals, 175 at the most if the orange is large, it

made me wonder if I am actually eating enough? I have been on a weight

stall for two months. My partner keeps telling me I am not eating

enough. Part of the problem is with one medication I still take, and

can't go off of yet, leaves me with no appetite at all, so that

sometimes if I get busy I completely forget to eat and skip meals

because I just don't get hungry with this medicine.

 

Yesterday I decided to eat about 300-350 cals for breakfast, and I felt

so stuffed. I did the same thing today. It was my usual apple and

orange, but I added one of the sweet potato muffins I made Thursday

evening--no fat, no animal products of any kind, high fiber, very

filling. And I am feeling so stuffed, like I way overate. My head knows

I didn't, and my body knows I didn't, but my stomach says hold on

there, there just isn't enough room for all of us in here!

 

The entire day yesterday I ate more than I have been for the last two

months. Nothing outrageous, normal meals, all vegan. And I could tell

when I awoke that my weight had shifted downwards. Even though my usual

day to weigh is Sunday morning, I was too excited to wait (having been

on a stall for two months!), so I flew down to the basement where the

scale is, and lo and behold, my body let go of a nice little chunk, at

last!!!

 

So I am wondering, have I not been eating enough? I haven't tracked the

calories, but most days I probably ate less than 1,000, and I know

that's just too low for me, especially at my size. But what about not

being hungry, and feeling overstuffed when I eat a normal sized meal??

I know most of that is due to the medication I can't stop yet.

 

Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?

One way to deal with this is to make sure to eat every couple of

hours. If for example, you need to eat about 1800 calories... 6 meals

a day would be 300 calories per. Part of it you will just have to

get used to, if 300 cal makes you feel stuffed. If you've been

undereating for so long, you may just have to train your body to eat

correctly again. Try just adding a few calories at breakfast as

you've done... and get used to it. Then in a week or so, add some

more to another meal... each week increase until you're eating enough

overall. I use nutridiary.com to track; lots of people also like

fitday.com.
