I ate a lot last night. I mean - a lot. Nothing majorly bad, though. The worst thing I had was sugar free, low fat ice cream sandwiches that were 140 calories. Everything else was PB sandwiches, shredded wheat, and a handful of animal crackers.

OK, I guess those weren't great, either.

If I go back and look, I don't think I ate enough to put me too much over 2,400 calories. That's higher than I want to go, but I don't get how it upped my weight by over a pound.

I can deal with that, I guess, but my concern is the hunger I had last night. It wasn't cravings, either. It was genuine hunger. Like, stomach-growling hunger. No matter what I ate, I was still hungry. This is the second time this has happened to me since 9/6, and I'm not a huge fan of it, to be honest.

Here's my theory as to why it happens:

Since 9/6, I've been averaging around 1,750 calories per day. My RMR (last time I checked it) was 2,400 calories. Some days I eat 1,900, others I'll take part in a controlled fast and only take in 700. Only three days out of the last 20 or so have I topped 2,000.

I'm guessing my body was just letting me know I needed more food?

That's all I can think of. But I don't feel hungry when I'm eating 1,750. I don't feel hungry (most days) when I only take in 750. But once every two weeks or so, it's like all the hunger I should have been feeling shows up, and off I go into the kitchen.

So, do I eat more? Skip the controlled fasts? Just keep doing what I'm doing and fight through the hunger?
