Add in some green leafy vegetables with high-fat dressing and maybe some high-fiber ones with butter, maybe that would help. I find that high-volume is what works for me though, so I know what you mean.

Like you said, you have to find what works for you. It takes some adjusting. I started last October and I am still adjusting. Patience is what I struggle with. Good luck. abbadabba gave some good suggestions. 😊

I love the natural whole food type of eating (no sugar or flour, good fats only, lots of low calorie vegetables) and just keep it under 1,200 calories. I find if I keep it under 1,000 calories and do exercise I see losses. It's easier said than done...I've been at a stall for a year....but I haven't been gaining and I don't feel hungry. Oh and I try to eat every couple of hours a little bit of something.

Its all about what works for you and what you can do. Keto works great for me, but I have never been someone who ate a lot during the day. My downfall was the carb intake. I have always lived on OMAD. When I was trying to do lunch, dinner and breakfast, I was too full and miserable all the time. You can find your groove, it just takes some trial and error. Keep it up girl!!

Also, to tag on to Abba's suggestions, try adding more butters, oils, dressings to your food. That was the hardest thing for me at first because I have always been taught to be sparing with things like that.

I think what you are really missing is fibre.... it fills you way up... slows down digestion so that your proteins last you longer. Sounds like you have practically no fibre in your diet at the moment. Add in tonnes and you will see the difference, especially as you're having to carbohydrate you will really need it to keep off the hunger. I have Spinach with absolutely everything these days to compensate, and usually two or three helpings of other sources too. Good luck

Also hydration .. drinking lots of water throughout the day can give you a sense of satiety with no calorie gain

Thank you for the suggestions I'm going to try them!!! And thank you Bandrai very much for reminding me about spinach...spinach does really help me I just forgot about it...I should add that back in :). Also I'm drinking a gallon of water a day so I'm good there...I think the fiber might be the fix it for me :). I'll try it and see if it helps :)

If you are doing keto, you can have up to 20 net grams of carbs. Use them for lots of green vegetable. I find I eat more salad and greens than most people. And butter and oil to them.

Also try wrapping deli meat with cream cheese for a snack and you can also add veggies

if you like avocado, a half of one for breakfast along with the eggs tends to really fill me. deviling the eggs also adds so nice fat to make it more satisfying. and yes lots of low carb vegtables. lettuce, cauliflower, spinach, celery sticks with cream cheese is really good for a snack.

My advice is to have a large healthy breakfast. exp..5oo/600 cals...and then figure your dinner cals so that leaves your lunch to adjust up or down and you will stay on target..that's my way of working it and it does work..

Yes fat and protein counts is important but gotta get in lots of nutrients! I usually eat spinach in eggs or tomatoes in morning. Big salad with supper and still don’t go over carbs. Think we get caught up on reducing carbs we ignore them.

Something to consider... I'm the same way with breakfast. No matter what I eat, it just seems to kick start cravings for the whole day. I've been having a lot of success with IF. Only eating between 11am and 7pm seems easier to control for me. Maybe it might work for you?

You may want to eliminate the MCT oil. Better to keep your fat consumption 70 to 75 % when working on weight loss.

Have you read through Bluecoaster’s early journal months? It’s a challenge to get to keto approach that works for oneself, but in my case so worth sticking with it. You shouldn’t have to feel hungry with this approach. Bluecoaster’s transparency about rough early months was such an encouragement to me.
