    feeling hungry all the time

    Lately ever since I have been taking ephedrine with caffine I have been feeling hungry all day and night untill I go to bed. It almost feels like my body is saying feed me and keep feeding me.
    This is what my diet looked liked today.

    8 a.m. whey protein shake
    10 a.m. 1/2 cup oats with splenda and cinnamon
    12 p.m. 3 small boneless skinless chicken breast
    2 p.m. low fat granola bar ( had to because I was on the road)
    4 p.m. two tablespoons ob nat peanutbutter with celery
    5 p.m. 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
    6.30 p.m. pasta with red sauce (I don know why but my body felt like I needed some carbs)
    and Im getting ready to have another protein shake.

    I did lack on the veggies today but oh well. I havent felt like this in a long time as far as being hungry and I keep getting leaner. On workout days I have actually added a third protein shake.

    Dose this mean something like my body is going to a whole new level or is this common while dieting and working out.

    Well you aren't eating enough when you do eat, hence, you are hungry before 2.5-3 hours when you should be eating again.

    fruit is packed with antioxidants ,vitamins and fiber.

    ephedrine with caffeine = Bad.

    cantaloupes are very nutrient dense and low in calories. You could try those.

    No supplement could replace a good raw fruit or vegetable.

    One apple or half of a small contaloupe will be ok daily? These wouldnt be considered bad carbs. Would an apple be ok at night or should fruit be consumbed pre workout?

    Your meals aren't very big. I wouldn't count a granola bar into your 5-7 meals a day.

    Sunflower seeds (unroasted and unsalted) are rich in vitamin E.

    A quarter-cup of sunflower seeds contains more than 100% your daily need for vitamin E.

    first thing in the morning you really should be consuming some carbs, fruit and/or oats would be good here.


    10 a.m. 1/2 cup oats with splenda and cinnamon
    there is no protein in this meal, you really should be consuming protein every single meal!


    12 p.m. 3 small boneless skinless chicken breast
    this would be a good place for fruit and/or a veggie.


    2 p.m. low fat granola bar ( had to because I was on the road)
    get a better bar, a protein bar not a granola bar, being on the road is no excuse, you can be prepared, or you could stop at a 7-Eleven, even they carry quality bars these days.


    4 p.m. two tablespoons ob nat peanutbutter with celery
    again, a lack of quality protein here.


    5 p.m. 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
    this is okay.


    6.30 p.m. pasta with red sauce
    I do not know what your goals are, but this is not a good time for pasta and red sauce IMO, too late in the day for starchy carbs.


    Is that your last meal of the day? What are your total calories and macros? Are you supplementing with anything else, like fish oil? What is your goal? Trying to lose weight?

    AS Prince said, more protein. I would like to add, get more fiber, specifically soluble fiber. The apple should help you get some. Granola bars have turned from a high-fiber snack to a high sugar snack with very little fiber. If you are gonna eat pasta, eat whole Grain, 100% stoneground pasta. And, as Prince said, not before bed.
    If sense were common, everyone would have it.

    Prince my goal was to loose weight and this goal has been achieved. From 242lbs down to 175lbs waist from 42 to current 32". I feel good at this weight for now and my next goal is to continue to build lean mucsle. I know for sure that I lost some mucle from dieting down but that was my goal to loose weight. I have always been overweight and never again. Let me know where you would tweak or add to this meal plan.


    Please tweak this as much as you want. There are some nights I will have red meat instead of chicken. This is what I will eat mon-fri. Sat and sun will very but not far.

    I would call this a fear. A fear of weighing 242lbs again. I know I cant rely on a pill for the rest of my life and I am still pretty new to the whole body building game, and Im still learning my body on the cans and donts. You could also say thats is a good insurance policy as well. I actually didnt use ephedrine up untill a week ago I used the non ephedra fat burners. I wanted to see how I reacted to it, and its hard when you start to see those abs form but there not where you want them yet(I know abs are made in the kitchen but a little help is ok). After my first cycle of ephedrine I will drop all fat burners for quite a while.

    Hey thanks for your help on my diet. Diet is everything. Then only I havent really tracked is the whole calorie macro thing. I will start though.

    Serious, non-teasing advice from a former fattie --

    dump the ephedrine, now, boyo. Been there, done that. Lost weight, starved myself a while, then discovered the magic of working out which allowed me to eat a normal amount of clean diet, and maintain.

    Then I found ephedrine. It was almost innocent at first... a helper for an all-night drive or two, a boost on days I hadn't slept enough. But it let me eat a bit more junk -- and still lose! Before I knew it, I was hooked.

    This was a couple years back. While on ephedrine, I was buzzed, cranky and wired. Sure, I didn't want to eat during the six or eight hours a dose lasted (I was mostly using Thermapro) but when it wore off? Hide the cats, man, and don't stand still too long! Wild binges that got worse.

    The worst part? The weight loss slowed then stopped then reversed. According to my food journals, I was eating less than before, and still insidiously gaining. I went OFF the crap, and the gains became obvious -- like a pound or two a month -- and my little computer metabolism program informed me that my maintenance calories had just about HALVED. Plus I now exhibit many symptoms of limping thyroid function.

    Learn your body instead, and figure out how to do it without the crutches. Sure, lots of people use fatburners with no ill effects -- but for lots of other people -- I'm not the only one -- it's a great ticket to metabolic hell and bad hormone juju.
