 Keep in mind anytime you cut your calories below maintenance that YES, you are probably gonna feel hungry a lot of the time. You will adjust to the reduced calorie level probably after about 0 weeks, at least that's about the timeframe it took my body to adjust to at least where the hunger was more tolerable. And if you are really starving at 0-0 hours after your last meal, then yes, that is actually a good sign. It means your body is burning up those calories and ready for more, in other words it's a sign of a good metabolism. And again, when you're cutting, being hungry and watching the clock closely til next mealtime is pretty much a given. Hope this helps.

Protein &amp; fat only.
