But stop snacking constantly and the hunger pangs will go away if you are truly eating a properly balanced diet. (Even in a moderate deficit. Starvation mode, nothing will help except stuffing your gut full of calories and volume. Either make peace with that, or plateau.)
Its not a matter of such urgency that requires talking to myself ; ) Does that work for ya?
I have a nice core diet. 3 meals, one mid day snack. I’ve been tweaking them and generally adding calories, especially to breakfast.
Deficit is fine but the body fat loss has slowed as I get under 15%. It’s tricky to keep the energy up, cycle and strength train so, yes, there will be times, generally between mid day snack and dinner that I want something to snack on. No issues after dinner.
Hence, this thread and the fine suggestions.
