A big part of building muscle is eating right. You need all that protein, carbs, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to repair your muscles after you work out. That means 6 small meals per day, or a meal every 3 hours. A portion of protein, carbs, and veggies is a must. \n\nDon't starve yourself, it's not safe and you can only do that for so long before your body rebels and forces you to eat.\n\nUse meal replacement drinks to help with your 6 small meals. I take 3 - 4 daily, and they're a great time saver. Plus, they already have all the protein and vitamins that I need, so I know I'm getting the right stuff in my body. Plus, by eating 6 meals a day, I rarely feel hungry.\n\nA good beginning book on eating right is called Eating for Life, by Bill Phillips. It will get you started, and has some good healthy recipes.

I know what your going through! I am 14 years old, 5'5, and weigh 95 ibs. I hate it, but someone told me about going to Starbucks and getting this bar called a Soy Protein Bar, and it has 2,000 calories in just one bar! I haven't got a chance to go get one! Try that out, I'm trying it out too. If you find anything to make you gain weight, E-Mail me PLEASE! Thanks

Just eat healthy. stop this diet your on. Eat veggies and fruits. eat normally and excercise. If your hungry eat. a few pounds ain't going to kill you. Your body is telling you its not getting enough so that is why you feel so hungry at night. Eat healthy foods and low in fat and excercise. thats all. But don't do it to the extreme or you can get anoriexia and other eating disorders. so eat healthy.

Perhaps you have a vitamin or mineral deficiency. Ask your doctor if it's okay to take a multi-vitamin of some sort. Of course if you are excercising, the body sometimes desires more carbs. And if you are a woman it could be that time appraoching.

Stay motivated. Switch up your routine, meal plans etc. Ok heres a way I personally keep motivated. I go on the net and look at other programs and i read a bit of info on a muscle or building muscle. For some reason this makes me want to work out and look better than those guys. This is good motivation for me but you should find whatever works best for you. Hope this helps! I have a few articles to give you if you choose mine as best answer or somthing. Send me an email and ill send you some good healthy links.

What worked for me was drinking more water. Sometimes it seemed like I was hungry, but my body wanted water, not food. Instead of just plain water I'd make some Crystal light or sugarless Kool aid also. (just water gets "boring" after a while!)

Why do we feel hunger? Because there is food to satisfy that desire. Why do we feel thirst? Because there is water to satisfy that desire. Why do we feel sexual desire? Because there is sex to satisfy that desire.\n\nWhy do we feel a desire to know God? You know the answer.\n\nSo no, not a coincidence.

YESSSSSS!! dont listen to ppl that tell you NOT TO EAT! If you let your body think its starving (not getting the calories it needs) it will kick into starvation mode and keep every calorie it can, every bite of food it will store into fat!!! You need to eat healthy snacks before and after your work out. You need to Fuel your body, give it what it needs and it wont feel as though its starving. :)

I like the women who spend some time in the gym, have a healthy (but not obsessive) lifestyle, but aren't afraid split a pizza with me when I get that occasional, irresistable urge for a large eggplant and mushroom pie.  Does that mean skinny or fat?  It's somewhere in the middle really, but more importantly, it's a body that she is comfortable being in.

It sounds like you are going through a growth spurt and your hormones are changing. When you are hungry, reach for a glass or bottle of water. This will help fill you up. Also, watch what you are putting in your mouth. Healthy snack are best. Of course you probably already know that. Don't think of excercise as "exercise"\nTry to take a 15 minute walk a day, or do a few sit ups at night while watching TV. It helps me and keeps the buldge away!\nGood Luck sweetie

You may be low in potassium.  Have a chat with your GP.  Generally cravings are the body's way of getting you to up specific nutrients.  \n\nWhen I was anaemic I was craving chocolate - chocolate has iron and sugar which helped (a very little) with my iron and energy levels.  Since I've been on Iron Therapy, the cravings have eased.

Thanks ZipLock... \n\nI think there's a ton of misconceptions about dieting and health... I urge everyone who is concerned about their health and fitness is to educate themselves.\n\nThat means reading.  I subscribe to about 7 different health magazines and people consistently throw me scientific articles on nutrition.\n\nI've learned a lot about health and fitness over the years and hopefully I can help a few people get over their weight /fitness issues.\n\nThanks again, Ziplock, I've read some of your stuff and found it on line with my beliefs too.

It sounds like you might have some sort of emotional problem and that food is your escape. Try going to counseling. \nIf this is not the case, them maybe you need a hobby since all you do is think about food. You definitely need to change your mentality about working out. \nYou try Weight Watchers you might enjoy that programs since you are allowed to eat what you want and your not deprived. \n\nGood Luck & Stay Strong.

You need a rounded diet.  Fresh fruits and veggies at the market are good.  You need protein and a selection of seeds/nuts are good.  Look around at your options and let your body tell you.  If you see something and you have a desire to eat it, it may be your body saying to you "I need that"

I became bulimic. I was tired of being fat, but could not give up food. I became obsessed! Figuring out what foods tasted ok the second time around, when I could vomit, eating in front of people, and convincing myself mentally that certain foods were just not ok. I suppose anorexia is similar. But giving up food? I think they are both a form of mental illness, just manifested differently.\nhttp://www.wikihow.com/Discussion:Deal-if-you-Want-to-Become-Anorexic/Archive\nTypically patients pick up destructive behaviors just by watching others or gossiping, she says. They may learn ways to burn calories by exercising on the sly, for example--performing sit-ups late at night, pacing or even furtively flexing muscles while sitting.\nhttp://www.apa.org/monitor/mar02/partners.html\nI suppose one key factor (of the *many*) was the film "The Best Little Girl in the World" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082062/\nIt was supposed to curb the desire to become anorexic, but I wanted so much to be like her!

Sometimes we mistake thirst for hunger. You might not be getting enough hydration during or after your workout. Next time you feel hungry before lunch, drink a glass of water before you eat something
