In my life, I find my "hunger thermostat" isn't terribly reliable. It is
subject to much influence from what I have been eating, what addictive
craves are currently raising their ugly heads again (carbs, caffeine
etc), and the recent audio/visual input (conversations, commercials,
passing a fast food place LOL). I've learned to ask myself if the
"hunger" is a general thing or for something specific, and if specific,
something reasonable. General hunger is the kind where I will eat just
about anything in front of me including perhaps the plate <grin> For me,
anything else is either a crave or maybe a need for a particular
nutrient. Strikes me that if you're only eating pork and zucchini in a
day, you might need some other things in your diet. Enlarge your menu
and see if you still feel the same. If your weight is maintaining,
you're probably taking in enuf calories.

>I just had about 6 oz of a boneless pork chop, 2 slices of bacon, and 4 cups of finely chopped, raw zucchini mixed with the juices that cooked out of the pork (I made it in the crockpot) and I am still hungry. I had an equal amount for breakfast. Doesn’t that sound like enough food? Yet I could eat another amount of food equal to that. I am 5’ 8” and weigh 135 lbs. I lift weights 3 times per week and do a cardio 3 times per week. Occasionally I do 20 to 40 minutes of Pilates. This morning I lifted weights, did abs, and stretched which took me 55 minutes.
