I'm 36 so not exactly old but in comparison to ten years ago, the amount of food I can eat has decreased dramatically. I used to maintain 195ish on about 3500 calories, I now maintain around 185 on about 1500-2000 and I feel STUFFED.
I used to down 6 eggs and a cup of oats, two hours later i'd down three tilapias and a giant bowl of rice no problem. If I even try eating ONE of those meals now, I seriously won't be hungry again until the next day, I'll just feel stuffed, bloated and nauseas for hours.
Ironically none of my measurements have decreased at all (except for about an inch off my waist) which is good but I definitely look smaller/not as full and I'm about 10-15lbs lighter.
Curious if any of you guys have noticed this as you've aged? My guess is I've been lifting for 20 years and haven't cycled in about 8 years so I'm just maintaining but it just seems like so little food. I haven't been counting anything anymore, I aim for about 125g of protein and 35g of fiber but aside from that I'm just going by feel because it's super frustrating to chase a number when even 2000 calories feels impossible to reach now.
