You are not hungry because you have trained your body to slow its metabolism and use of energy so it stores instead of uses. When you start eating more and every few hours, you will retrain your body to speed up its metabolism and use foods instead of storing so the more you eat regularly, the hungrier you will be. It may take a couple weeks but being hungry every few hours is a sign of a healthy and effective metabolism and not being hungry for many hours is a sign of a slow and sluggish metabolism that stores energy in fat reserves instead of using it for growth, development and daily life.

Thanks. :)
I have trouble eating that much though, I'm just not that hungry. Even eating this much at times I feel like I wayy overeat.
I dunno though. I'll work on it.
Thanks. again. :P

When you under eat and only consume 1000 calories, your metabolism is slow and your body stores first and burns second. If you want to flip the switch so your body burns nutrients as fuel instead of storing it for future needs because of starvation mode, then you need to eat 2000 calories plus in 5 meals and snacks, exercise regularly including strength training and get plenty of sleep.
Your Spark plan can help you get that all set up and get you on your way. If you keep starving your body, your metabolism will stay slow and your body will stay in storage mode instead of burning mode.

On average I get about 1,000 calories in my diet, and every once in a while I'll have one of my 'reward' days where I eat more of the unhealthy foods that I've been trying to cut back on (like pizza, for examle) where everything then goes up a LOT, ie. my calories go up to 2,300.
When I do this does it mess up my metabolism and all? Or is it fine?
