Too many protein shakes - too much fluid, not enough solid food, so it is digested pretty quickly, which can definitely leave you hungry. yogurts - at this point i am guessing, they are the little snack sized yogurts. one of those little things is not really much of a meal for someone of your size and who is working out. even a snack shoudl be a little more fulfilling. think about adding some fruit or some peanuts or something to that. maybe some kind of carb or a source of fat to that... Lunches and dinners - not enough food if it's just a piece of meat and only an OCCASIONAL side. There is a lot more I want to address, but i want you to answer those questions first... Workouts - I'd rather defer to p's better advice for your workouts once you send something a little more detailed. However, I'll say this: it could be a hell of a lot more efficient than the way it is set up. Good job getting back into basketball though! YAY!!! I know you've had the knee issues and all - how is that going? How does it feel? Do you feel any other discomfort on the ankles or hips or the other knee? |

I can believe you're starving, you eat a bunch of yogurt and drink shakes.

 plus, so much protein can cause dehydration - which can also make someone feel like they're hungry. |

Having said that...
A) you are not eating enough total calories B) You are eating way too much protein C) you dont' have enough variety D) you need to add some healthy fats into your diet (fish oil caps, extra virgin olive oil, get some from nuts too since you like those, etc.) E) VEGETABLES - we will talk about this in private, i'm not going to lecture you and i know your issues with this topic F) Fruit G) CARBS - right now most of your carbs are in the form of sugar from yogurt or whatever is in your protein shakes, plus a bit of processed carbs from your special K. You need to implement some more whole grains, good carbs, oatmeal, potatoes/sweet potatoes, corn doesn't count - it does nothing in your body. Your current carb choices are also part of what is causing you to feel hungry. H) PROTEIN SHAKES UP THE WAZOO! Holy crap! Brother. You need to add some more WHOLE foods into your day. This is way too much I) You need to eat a little less protein. I'll help you do some math. i have to go to the grocery store now, but here you have something to start your thinking.... |

Taking in too much protein will cause an increase in the body's acidity, throwing off the pH balance - that can cause all sorts of problems with your body big and small... will post more about it later. ALSO he body has to take more water to excrete the urea (waste by product of the protein after it is digested), so dehydration is the result if you're not drinking enough fluid to balance that out, AND that can cause it's own set of problems... IN addition "more" is not necessarily better. The body will take what it needs, store or discard the rest. In the case of protein, it will store (as fat). In your particular case, probably not because you're just apparently not eating enough, so i'd be more concerned about it just being problematic in the other ways mentioned above (acidity, dehydration, etc.) There are threads on here about protein consumption... RE: vegetables, don't worry - i will not be telling you to do anything you won't do. |

Thanks Mayor!
for what it's worth, i'm reading up on some research on vitamins/appetite - there are some articles but they are specially formulated vitamins that they used with kids in a 3rd world country. Their conclusion was that vitamins did not stimulate appetite in these kids. However, because they are not the vitamins we typically use here, I wouldnt' jump to the same conclusions just yet. I'm trying to find some more information. If you have any additional info, please do share. I'm sure there is a lot more to that connection than I, for one, know about. Maybe it IS contributing to my brother being hungry all of a sudden. But yeah - his diet is totally lacking right now, overall! |

after seeing GoalGetter's breakdown of you're diet you're starving because your fat intake is too low, and sugar intake is too high. there are many other issues with that diet, but those are two key areas you need to fix.
