I work at the Y so I'm there all the time, between shifts I figure it's best to fit in whatever work outs i can. Since noticing the weight gain, I've scaled back on my work outs and I'm getting "clean" this week as far as diet and alcohol, at least before new years! Thanks again for the wonderful advice!

I know what you mean about not wanting to eat right after and then going crazy (adore that you said "bat shit") later. Good, good advice!! Oh good call on increasing the water intake!

While 107 lbs is a healthy weight for someone who is 5 feet tall, 600 calories is not a healthy caloric intake. I used a calorie calculator and a 26-year-old woman who weighs 107 needs 1100 calories a day even if she's totally sedentary. It's just nearly impossible to meet your nutritional needs (fiber, protein, fats, vitamins and minerals) on that low of number of calories! If you are gaining weight when you are eating more, it may be because your happy weight is a little higher than 107...which is TOTALLY OK!!! I'm hesitant to get into the whole "starvation mode" thing, but as someone who used to deprive herself a <em>lot</em>, I can tell you that yeah...your body is going to want to cling to those extra calories if it's being underfed. If upping your caloric intake by eating more of the healthy stuff it sounds like you already do adds a few pounds to your frame along with a whole lot of nutrition and satisfaction and happiness...it might not be the worst thing in the world. I'm not an RD, but I do know...a girl's gotta eat!! Hey Sara! While 107 lbs is a healthy weight for someone who is 5 feet tall, 600 calories is not a healthy caloric intake.

The trick has been to be prepared with fruit and vegetables, chopped in plastic baggies, to be dipped into nut butters.... And water, and high-fiber crackers like Ryvitas once in a while. So it's definitely a matter of getting high-volume, nutritious calories--though I feel like I eat more now, I definitely measure less and have lost weight this way.

I have had to play around with this because it plaques me a great deal. First, I have come to realize that sometimes the hunger I am feeling is due to being dehydrated, even more so after being at the gym. I make sure to increase my water intake all through the day and especially after working out. Secondly, right after I work out I do not feel like eating. I often times could go quite a few hours after working out without eating, but this only causes hunger to go bat-shit crazy if I do this. I force myself to eat a little something shortly after working out. Like Rachel said, none of the processed crap, real & clean foods rather. I can relate to this and it is a major pain in the booty.

I was unemployed and spent all my time at the gym. I did 2hr workouts almost daily. But I was sooooo hungry and did not know enough about nutrition. I ended up not losing more than 5 lbs all summer! But now I have cut back my workouts and integrated a much cleaner diet and the weight is slowly coming off! This post is full of great advice! Jenn Last summer I had the same problem.
