Since March I have lost 20 pounds. It’s been extremely slow progress as I have PCOS, but it’s happening and I have 42 pounds left to go.
I’m now 5’7, F and 182 pounds.
I have always loved running and I run about 4-5 times a week, mainly 5-10k but sometimes I’ll go a bit further if it’s a weekend. I’ll walk daily and often do at least one small hike at the weekend. I also do weights / HIIT in my bedroom every other day.
I’m trying to improve my 5k time, and pushing myself when I’m training. I currently eat 1200-1400 in the week but on a Saturday I might eat to maintenance (as otherwise I’d just binge in the week - also, I want to keep having a life and drink alcohol with my friends, especially during corona times). I do 16:8 IF 8.30pm - 12.30pm.
I’m finding though I am EXHAUSTED in the week and feel constantly hungry. I feel like in the day I’m just thinking about food and waiting for my next piece of allocated food. But my TDEE is 1400 with moderate exercise.
How can I control my exhaustion without upping calories? As I’ve been losing so slowly I’m nervous to eat more.
