Hey everyone... So heres the problem.. I'm 150-155lb and about 13% body fat. I've been trying to cut calories and for a while i was doing a great job. The problem is that i get soooo hungry and dont know what to eat! I get tired of eating just fruits and stuff and start to cheat. What can i eat thats good for you and low cal, but fills you up? I lift in the morning around 7 and run in the evening around 7; I'm not sure if that would influence what I should be eating..

Fruits are a bad idea when cutting. That's your first problem. Letting yourself get to the point or starving is problem two, as your body goes into "saving mode" and starts accumulating body fat. How many calories are you taking in a day right now?
Stick with the basics: Fish, chicken, lean steaks, brown rice, oats, cottage cheese, etc...

And at 6 feet and 150 aren't you sickly thin already?
Well i found some website that calculated my BMR to be about 2800cal. Usually i try to eat <1500cal per day and lift for like an hour in the morning and run about 4 miles in the evening. I'm a pretty dedicated runner and have a good cardio base to work from. I'm not technically starving by any means but i just get really hungry.. Is my calorie intake a reasonable goal? Should it be lower?
lol.. No i'm not 'sickly thin'. I have a couple lifting records at my school, so i'm not just skin and bones. I'm decently built and can easily see my muscles but want to get to a lower body fat % and have my abs be more defined.

not to be a dick but is everyone at your school pusses? whats your couple lifting records?motoman said:
1500 is too low.....you might bump it up to 2000 cal and see how you feel. When I competed I was 210-205 year round ( 198 for the shows) and ate 2500+ cals a day to stay at 6% BF, when I dropped to 2000 or less I looked like crap.motoman said:

btw foreman i like that ass in your avatar 
My freshman year i had to weigh in at 125lb to get the squat record at 300. Last year i had to be under 155 and lift 350. Since then i havent really lifted much and am just getting back into it.BiggNStronger said:
Honestly i dont have much of a strict dieting plan. I wake up and have 2 scoops of protein and my creatine shake and then go lift for an hour or so. Afterwards i have light yogurt and fruit. For lunch i usually have a turkey sandwich on wheat and an orange or something. Usually my dinner plan varies because i dont have much of a say in what the rest of the family eats for dinner. Before bed i have 2 more scoops of protein.
I'm sure that i should have more of a plan but i dont know where to start. Anything would be helpful!
