you can't be in a deficit without feeling a little hunger right? (and, more importantly, if you're not feeling a bit of genuine hunger then you're probably not in a deficit).

I've been wondering about this. Do you all think this is true?
Most of the time I'm not hungry, eating my 5-6 little protein/carb meals. 3 days the past 2 weeks I was hungry all day no matter what I ate. I attributed it to not enough of good dense protein to calm me down.
Do you think the reason I don't lose scale weight though I have deficit is that I'm eating the right # of calories but too much dense calories and salad type things and it is just too much food (1350-1450cal)...? Or anyway, if I'm not hungry, I"m not really in deficit?
I believe my GWF is accurate enough: 1700-1800 sedentary, 2000 on resistance days w/not much NEAT, 2300-2400 with lots of NEAT and/or Cardio.
I also am not really concerned yet (except on an occasional freak out day!), only 11 days into OPT for Fatloss; I do believe I will lose; I am accurately weighing and writing food, and even moving at moderate pace, eating around 1400 cal and burning about 2100 cal daily average.
