When you say you are hungry, is it head hunger or stomach growling physical hunger? I ask because for a long time I could not tell the difference. I had a tendency to eat because something was upsetting me, or I was bored, or I simply craved a certain taste or texture - even if I had already eaten a full meal. Someimte "hunger" is driven not by physical need but hormonal changes, or triggers, or stressors.

I you are exercising more, then you can and should be eating enough so that your body has fuel. Dierdra is right in what she says.

Folks are going to have different results with lower fat and higher fat versions of low carb. Some bodies respond well to the higher fat levels, and some don't. Gaining a pound may not have anythng to do with what you ate this week - or it may. If you are not taking measurements along with your weight I would also go by those. You might be holding onto some water as your muscles build and repair themselves from the exercise.
