Struggling to eat 500 calories-anyone else?
 

I'm only on VLCD 5, and I'm not hungry at all! I'm forcing myself to eat some veggies, all the protein, fruit and Melba toast because I know I need to eat as close to 500 calories as possible, but I've never had this problem before. Anyone else struggling with this strange phenomenon?

I hope I have that problem! I am loading today and starting VLCD tomorrow. Today I had to force myself to eat. I wasn't hungry at all and I was full of energy. I'm afraid of being starving though when I start tomorrow.

Yep, I know exactly what you are talking about. Yesterday was my VLCD1, and I barely made 347 cals, and had to throw in an orange to get closer to 500. This afternoon I had a huge serving of spinach and 3.5 oz of ground beef, and it looked so silly, but I did manage to get to 236, and I still have dinner, but I am having fish and asparagus, so I will be coming in at just over 400 cals. I don't want to go too low on cals, and throw my body into starvation mode.
