Dang you Chick-fil-A
Dang you and your tasty Spicy Chicken Sammich.
You can kiss it. I was about to order my favorite sammich, and then I thought to check the calories of what I have been eating lately. Spicy Chicken Sandwhich 490 Calories 20g Fat 2g Fiber 5g Sugars 29g Protein Waffle Fries 390 Calories 20g Fat 3g Fiber 0g Sugars 4g Protein Crap...no wonder I have gained a bit of weight lately. I went back to my old 8-count with a fruit cup meal. Much better numbers. 8ct 260 Calories 12g Fat 1g Fiber 1g Sugars 28g Protein Fruit Cup 70 Calories 0g Fat 2g Fiber 14g Sugars 1g Protein So all in all, I went from a total of 880 calories for my "breakfast" to a measly 330. Huge savings. Mental note made. I really need to keep track of what I am eating better...

Oh no. Oscar the Grouch has nothing on me when I haven't eaten. I turn into a #1 certified prick when I don't eat. No can do. My metabolism is just too fast to go without food. I'll shrivel up and die. lol
My wife used to get upset when I'd show that side. Now she knows better. I start acting like a jerk and her first question is, "are you hungry?" My usual answer is yes... I weighed myself...back at 170. Going back to watching what I eat...should be back down close to 160 in about a month or two.

I can sympathize with needing to eat a lot. At least you're aware of it and its impact on your mood. I have a relative who becomes a serious jerk when her blood sugar drops, and if you bring it up, she gets even angrier. Yeesh. |

Basically, if you're body is in need of fuel (legitimately hungry not just the "Oooh, a burger sound great right now" appetite), and you deny it that resource, over time it will go into a sort of starvation mode, and tune itself to run on fewer calories. It also tends to start storing fat, like it's anticipating some sore of famine or something. So yeah, completely cutting down is usually a bad idea.

ketosis!
If the diet is changed from a highly glycemic diet to a diet that does not provide sufficient carbohydrate to replenish glycogen stores, the body goes through a set of stages to enter ketosis. During the initial stages of this process, blood glucose levels are maintained through gluconeogenesis, and the adult brain does not burn ketones. However, the brain makes immediate use of ketones for lipid synthesis in the brain. After about 48 hours of this process, the brain starts burning ketones in order to more directly use the energy from the fat stores that are being depended upon, and to reserve the glucose only for its absolute needs, thus avoiding the depletion of the body's protein store in the muscles.[9] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis

Heh, I am like that too @Apex. For me, I have a high metabolism, so if I haven't ate in awhile within a given amount of hours, I not only get bitchy, but get these migraine type of headaches, due to blood/sugar being low. Of course, once I eat, all of that vanishes.

I eat several times a day, so yeah, I gotta eat. The secret is to not overeat and not eat high calorie items. If you eat often, you teach your body to not store energy, because there is always a sufficient supply. When you eat good on top of that, you are always burning up the food and also burning up the fat stores, so you lose weight.
Like @EternalNewb said, you starve yourself, you body goes into hording mode, where it will hold onto whatever it can get its hands on. I've also heard that you are in "storing" mode when you eat a lot after starving yourself. By eating good stuff frequently, you maintain a level blood sugar and stay in the "burn" mode. I think in high school, I ate on average about 10 times a day. I was constantly doing small snacks. I also weighed in at 125lbs and just shy of 6ft tall. I didn't have an ounce of fat on me, but I also had crazy endurance. Now I have more strength, but also more fat. hahahah Gotta work on balancing that out. Oh, and the 12-ct nuggets are 400 calories...not going to happen. hahahaha

Their chicken sandwich is really greasy just looking at it. It tastes OK, but it's nothing special and it's expensive for what it is. Plus of course their little marketing stunt later last year. I don't agree with their hateful views.
I'm about 140 and 5ft 6, and practically no fat I can find. Fatty food messes with my stomach, I usually feel ill afterwards, especially after eating Wendys. There's a reason I can't put on weight, I can't tolerate the sort of food that would put on weight the fastest. I can only eat so much bread and dairy too.
