Is my body weird

AvRunningBack1331 · 10-07-2009, 12:08 PM

So I just started lifting again about a Little less than a month ago. When I weighed in I was around 175lbs and a week ago I weighed myself
in gain and now I am 187lbs. I eat so
much throughout the day because i am always hungry and never get full. Is this normal? I eat breakfast till I atleast feel
a tiny full, then about an hour later I get hungry again, after t hay hour I goto lunch after another hour. At lunch I get 2 full lunches including the fruits milk and everything that comes with and I
still don't get full but have to stop or I'll run out of money. About an hour after
lunch I'm hungry again and it just keeps going on this way. And when I get hungry I forgot to put I just drink a protein shake. I hve not gained any noticable fatty weight my abs dissappearded a little bit. Someone help before I
go broke from eating or not eating and starving lol. This isn't normal

I seem to have the same problem bro. I went on holiday for 5 weeks and lost 15lbs, when I came back; within a week I gained 12lb back.
I never stop eating, I am always hungry and get really bad stomach cramps due to this.
My body fat is around 4-5% so I gain no fat through excessive eating; I will be interested to see the replies.

how is your protein intake through out the day? make sure you eat more protein if u arent already, protein satisfies you alot more. I am sorta the same way i could eat all day if i wanted, but 50% of what i eat is protein so it keeps me satisfied through out the day. Just make sure 40-50% is from protein, carbs wil make you crave more

Well I drink 3-4 protein shakes a day which have abunch or calories and 52g of protein a shake

what is your diet like? try adding more real food for protein like Eggs, all natural peanut butter, chicken, fish etc. I always eat 4-5 egg whites and a whole egg with a slice of whole grain toast w/ Natural peanut butter for breakfast, does me good im not hungry for atleast a couple hours. Try and stick with whole foods for protein, shakes are good when you dont have time to make anything but if u can stick with the real food doit, also try and go for stuff that has fiber in it aswell, keeps you fuller longer like oatmeal, green beans etc.

also drink lots of water, it will also help keep you full. Aim for a bout a gallon/day

Kaboom is right, and if I could add in any advice to you is eat a LOT more eggs, at less than $2 a dozen here that's CHEAP at being full. Eat a whole plate full, and add butter and seasonings on top to increase the taste quotient and fat content. I know a guy who is always hungry too, and it turns out he was only using 1-scoop protein milkshakes! He needed to be using 3 scoops, so keep this in mind. P.S. If our advice isn't helping your wallet, the military is a viable option at your age... I did it, the food is OK and at your age I'd see guys going up 3 times to fill their trays!

I used to have a wierd stomache pain in 7th grade, everytime I got hungry it almost felt like someone was punching / kneading me inside my belly, and my stomache would hurt at periodic times through-out the day. I never got it checked out because it disapeered. The pain came back sporadically through-out highschool and hunger really hurt (more than it seemed to affect anyone else I knew). After my first semesters exams in college I got something like what you seem to be experiencing. I had to eat literally every 1-3 hours to stave off extreme hunger and sometimes it hurt so bad I couldn't bring myself to eat. I couldn't fall asleep.

Long story short, it got so bad it couldn't be normal. I went to the doctor and they diagnosed me with this bacteria after doing some blood-work. Evidently over half the world has it in their stomaches, its symptoms don't always appear in everyone. The pain can trigger on hunger, stress, smoking and a bunch of other things.

For the longest time I was afraid I had a tape worm in my stomache because of how often I was hungry and it hurt, I didn't believe metabolism could be that fast / hurt so bad:

If you still have similar pain and haven't figured it out go to the doctor and get tested for:
Helicobacter pylori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EDIT: Wikipedia seems to talk about the science behind the bacteria but if you google for it you'll get a lot more stuff that might or might not relate to what you're feeling
