I usually ride my hunger out. I normally don't eat snacks, but I'm lately finding that a small pre-workout meal helps me perform better at the gym. Cottage cheese with berries, or a rice cake with peanut butter. On my non-workout days, I normally don't eat breakfast and will wait until lunch to eat. I may get a bit hungry feeling, but it's never as extreme as it used to be when I was overweight. If I didn't eat breakfast before I'd be moody, slow, fatigued, etc.

I generally portion out everything, so I am usually satisfied with my meals. Neither hungry for more, nor disgustingly full and bloated. I usually don't go for seconds, but sometimes I'll make a low-carb desert at home that has some extra protein and fat, just to help satiate me a bit more, and the satiating feeling will last until the next meal tomorrow. Sometimes I can fast foe 24-48 hours with no hunger. It doesn't really matter what I eat. One day might be pasta and shrimp for dinner, the next might be fast food. I eat enough to maintain my weight, but I can easily increase or decrease my macros to cut or bulk.

Lately I move between doing one month of keto and one month of carb cycling, or changing my carb count every day to help mobilize fat. I find that it's very helpful and therapeutic for balancing your hormones, controlling hunger, allowing you to burn fat and build muscle at the same time, and more.

do you count your calories?

did you study nutrition in in college?

i'll admit a lot of the info you mentioned in your very first post went over my head, especially the stuff about Ph of the stomach. that is on a level that I cannot even comprehend. i always found nutrition to be very confusing and often have difficulties understanding what is really healthy and what isnt. i know there are probably resources on the internet, but for me I never really had a huge interest in it. not making excuses, just explaining why im a fatty lol.
