[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you eating, OP? If you give us a sample of what you eat during the day (including slip-ups) we might have additional insight for you.[/quote]

8:30 - 2 eggs 2 turkey sausage, [b]1 egg, 2 egg whites, 1 turkey sausage, 1/2 grapefruit or small apple/orange[/b]
10:30 - mini bagel w cream cheese, mini bag chips [b]switch to a smoothie made with whey isolate, leafy greens, and frozen fruit[/b]
1  - chicken curry w rice ( from home) and Greek yogurt [b]switch out rice for cauliflower rice. If you're using yogurt in the curry, no need for extra. Add large leafy greens salad. If you're still hungry, have the rest of the 1/2 grapefruit you had for breakfast[/b]
4 - cheese and crackers and an apple [b]use only skimmed milk cheese. Switch out time to time with nut butters. Keep the apple.[/b]
7:30 - whole wheat spaghetti w ground turkey and fruit [b]measure pasta carefully - 1 cup has about 300 calories. 1/2 the volume you're using and top up with zucchini or squash noodles instead. Add a salad, even chopped tomatoes and cucumbers[/b]
9:30 - cereal like Special K w milk

The morning and afternoon snacks are the danger zones for junk. On bad days I will get a donut or cupcake or muffin. Lunch may also be Subway or Chipotle or chopped.  Dinner could also be fish and vegetables which I try to do especially when I have a less healthy lunch. So it's not horrible but I know I could do better. I could switch out nuts for the bagel. Or cheese. haven't found a raw vegetable I like enough to snack on though. It's also hard to cut down the number of times I eat since I'm legitimately hungry at those times. Since I have been working out this is pretty typical. My trainer suggested a protein shake.

Thanks for the tips. I think the key is keeping healthy snacks around which I am better at but not perfect. [/quote]

What I see is a lot of carb and fat, without balance with veggies. If you don't like them to snack on, incorporate them into your meals. I've tweaked a little above, but it's still not super balanced.

Looking, you may be hungry because what you're eating is quite dense and your body clears it quickly. Even slow carbs digest pretty quickly.

It's not unusual to be hungry often when starting to work out. You body is breaking down and building itself back up again. The weight gain could be to the repair process, when you end up with a high volume of water in the muscle fibres. If you are super sore after a work out, chances are your weight will be up too.
