Are you drinking enough water? It's easy to confuse hunger for thirst.

What are you eating that you're still so hungry? Protein?

Do you care to elaborate? Or do you want us to guess what you're workout and meals are?
Are you a male or female, pregnant, nursing, age?

Nothing better than 20 questions, thanks for playing.

I am 40 male. Excercise regularly. Breakfast is mainly protein shake ( on the go), lunch is generally tuna salad and a piece of toast, dinner varies but may be chicken or egg whites. I try not to eat pasta. The problem is over eat... so I ate a pound of tuna salad yesterday for lunch. Five pieces of chicken thighs and some broccoli for dinner.

I do HIIT training. 3-4 times a week. I am not fat by any means but I should be a lot leaner with the amount of exercise I do. May be the food is inhibiting my transformation.

On weekends, I drink 2-3 drinks. Red wine or light beer.

Add fiber-filled veggies to fill you up.

Without quantities though, who knows whether you are over-eating or under-eating? It could be either. Especially as a male working out. What is HIIT training btw? Do you even lift?

And tuna salad? Are you making it yourself? Is it full of mayo?

You need to eat a good mix of protein, fats (not saturated), and carbohydrates. Don't drink any calories. Eat whole-fat yogurt which is satiating.

It’s High Intensity Interval Training. So today I did 60 burpees, 60 mountain climbers, 160 j jacks, 40 goblet squats with 50 lbs weight, 36 shoulder press with 50 lb weight, 40 push-ups, 48 chest press with 95 lbs, planks, bird dogs, high knees etc. that’s 1 hour. I think that’s good amount of excercise. And I do that 3 to 4 times a week. But I am not seeing any serious changes in my body? The weight is consistent. So may be it’s the food? Which is pretty healthy too?!?!

Do you have access to a gym? Lift heavy. https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/wiki/recommended_routines

And yes, it could be the food. You probably need more protein. I eat as much protein as you've described and I'm a 5'4" 130 lb. female.

I'd be happy to set up a free consultation to talk about it. Send me an email if you're interested.

Put a lot of lemon in your water to sour your appetite... if its too too sour, also add a splash of applejuice

If what you describe is your normal intake, of course you are hungry. That’s not enough volume, calories or nutrition. Do you have issues with obsessing over the amount of food you eat? Wondering if that’s the case, and it’s making you fret over wanting to eat a normal amount of food for an adult man.

Too much cardio is making you hungry. Do more heavy weights.
