undereating?

[carrie721]

hey paula, i'm starting another food thread!

ok, it's almost laughable that i would start a thread entitled "undereating." but here's the sitch: i'm losing weight. i'm eating about 1500 calories a day and burning around 500 a day at the gym. is 1500 too low, even if i'm trying to lose weight? i'm losing between 2 and 3 pounds a week, which doesn't seem like an unhealthy amount to lose. but i never find myself feeling satisfied (food-wise) for a long period of time, even thought my diet is high in lean protein and veggies with a moderate amt. of whole grains, dairy, healthy oils (mostly from almonds, peanut butter, and coconut oil) and fruit. nothing i eat has a high glycemic index, so i don't feel a huge sugar crash, i just find myself getting hungry around 2 hours after every meal. does my body just need to get used to a new regimen? it's been three weeks that i've been really serious about it, so should i just wait it out? uhhh, i don't really know where i'm going with this. so yeah. thoughts?
