Hello everyone! Been a long time lurker of this subreddit, have gotten a lot of really good advice from here and it has gotten me to the point I am today. So thank you everyone who contributed to this effort! I'm in need of advice and an ear for a rant. I started my journey in December, had some major ups and downs but eventually found my footing and started slowly with making healthier food choices, and smaller portions. Have managed to keep the momentum on that while increasing my weekly activity. I am very much aware that weight loss in made in the kitchen, this is why I don't beat myself up for not being as consistent with my workouts as I'd like. I've been really good at maintaining my calorie deficit, increasing it when I hit a plateau, weighing everything I eat or drink so every single calorie is tracked. During my period I usually eat at maintenance cause I'm bottomless pit during that week. I've been eating 1500 calories a day, trying to keep 30% protein, 50% carbs and 20% fat. But lately I've been really struggling with staying within 1500, I'm hungry in the evening and the food noise has gotten so bad. I'm getting really tired of being hungry all the time in the evenings and I'm starting to hit a plateau. I don't know if I can lower my calories any more with out loosing my mind. I try to keep my breakfast on the lower end of my calorie intake as I'm not usually hungry in the morning and eating makes me nauseous first thing. This creates a problem cause I usually workout first thing in the morning. I'll try to eat an apple or piece of fruit, if I don't I get the shakes and have no energy to lift weights. I do try to meal prep, but I can't stand left over cooked veggies. So I usually just prep my proteins, rice or potatoes for the week and then lightly steam my veggies the day of. At this point I'm not sure what to do, as the title suggests I've hit a wall. I'm tired of my current meals, hitting a plateau and I'm constantly hungry. Where do I go from here? Does any one have any meal suggestions or just food I could add that will help me stay fuller longer and not send my calories through the roof?
Just a FYI I'm aware of the importance of fiber and protein to make you stay fuller longer; I average 20-30g of fiber a day and 100-130g protein (130g usually the days I lift weights).
Any and all advice is welcome, just please don't be mean. I'm sensitive 🙃
