Is it normal to not be hungry when eating a limited diet -

[Marco Fucko]

So ever since I've been staying indoors more I've been eating less than normal. I used to eat 2-3 meals a day at about 1500 - 2000ish calories in total, but nowadays I've only been eating once or twice a day. Just today I ate about 700-800 calories worth of shit in the morning. 12 hours later, I feel a slight desire for food, but not nearly as ravenous as I would be normally. Like I can eat but I feel like it probably isn't necessary for another block of time, say 4 to 6 hours.

Anyone else eating less these days?

Less activity means less need for calories; I guess you're just one of those people who doesn't comfort eat or eat out of boredom.

I'm much the same; if I'm sitting around on my ass I tend to lose weight because I don't eat as much and lose muscle mass.

Your body adjusts. You might even get a stomach ache if you start eating like you used to all of the sudden.

I am an AFAB biolady so certain times of the month I eat a lot of sweets. But other than that I usually stick to a low calorie diet. I have to start rationing anyway as things are getting strict around here and I have one lowly paper mask.

Fat.

I'm in the same boat. I've only been eating a meal around dinner time and have a small snack around lunchtime. As far as exercise goes, I don't think there's too much of a disparity between now and normal circumstances. I think it might be my internal clock being all fucked up from my sleep schedule since I'm up almost all night.

Now I'm eating a cooked breakfast, some gay soup or something for lunch, and a huge dinner of meat and potatoes. Embrace the fat now, because in the post lockdown gulag you will work it off.

It's normal. You might even feel more energized after a while. Our caveman ancestors weren't able to eat as much as they needed every single day so the human body adjusted.

This is also how fasting works.

Loss of appetite can indicate zinc deficiency, which also causes loss of libido, depression, lethargy, skin problems, immune deficiency, and hypothyroidism. Acute zinc deficiency may also cause white spots on the fingernails. If you are eating less red meat, for example, you've probably reduced your zinc intake. I wouldn't worry though unless you have one or more of the other symptoms listed above.

your body requires less energy during these times so it probably is normal

Your appetite will grow to meet your stomach, whether that means growing larger or growing smaller.

At some point, your body adjusts. I'm losing weight now, so I'm eating less, but when I was getting fat (again), I could eat twice as much and not feel full.

If you're eating less you should invest in a multivitamin so you're still getting enough iron and vitamin C and whatnot.

This. Your stomach actually will shrink a bit once you start shoveling less food down your gullet. There have been days where I got by on a can of *insert energy drink here*, a Clif bar and a glass of m1lk and never felt noticeably hungry.

I was worried about gaining weight from staying inside, but my appetite dropped a lot too. I guess I've been watching too many internet fatties because I was concerned I would eat more out of boredom, but it's not happening.
