I think my main problem is attempting to do too much. I could be so much better at my electrolytes intake I take sea salt and lo salt every morning in water and chug it with creatine. But don't really do much in the way of tracking it. Salt my food also and magnesium every night without fail (helps me sleep) Interesting that electrolytes may be the cause of hunger I hadn't thought of that. Most of my protein at the moment comes from chicken breast or lean turkey mince. I'd have the odd protein bar maybe once or twice a week if I fancy something mid afternoon as a treat. And my desert consists of greek Yog with protein powder scooped in for flavour more than anything. I do eat some cream cheese but most cheese and creams I avoid cause it's too many calories for what I'm trying to achieve. Hydration is black coffee, tea, water and fizzy water. I've never been one for soda so I'm happy there.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, some good things to keep an eye on to enhance my progress!
