So I’m pretty new to these forums. I’ve read many articles but never posted my own and I decided maybe I should and I could get some help! So I’m currently at 15% BF and weigh 138 and have done a good job of maintaining this while gaining some muscle with carb and calorie cycling. I usually eat 1600 calories most days of the week and 2 days of the week I eat at maintenance or 200-300 above and up my carbs by about 100g. My maintenance is 2100-2300 calories.The other days I eat about 120g of carbs, 40-50g of those are from fiber. Protein is always high (over 150 always). Fat I usually keep around 50g. Average. However, on my high carb/high calorie days I’ve been overeating. Last one I had like 5000 calories. And was literally still hungry. All of these calories are from healthy food by the way. I’m literally over eating chicken, blueberries, bananas, vegetables, protein shakes, cottage cheese. I don’t like unhealthy food I maintain a healthy diet constantly. But overeating can’t be healthy. It’s not just out of boredom or depressing or stress. I actually feel starving. Eating 1600 calories most days of the week is the hardest thing ever cause I’m so hungry. I eat every 2 1/2 - 3 hours. All my meals are 20-40g of protein. I do pretty good. But it’s difficult. I drink well over a gallon of water as well. So I really don’t know what my problem is since this used to be so easy for me. My training has gotten more intense than it used to be. I also don’t do much cardio I have one conditioning day a week. I do workout 6-7 days a week though. Should I just start eating at maintenance every day? I’m so lost because this plan used to work so well for me for a whole year and now I have to switch it up with no clue what to do! Oh and if it helps I’m 23 and 5’8” :)
