I have been making a big effort to drink enough because I can tell by my skin in not staying hydrated.

But I find I am more tempted to eat more when I'm filling my tummy with fluids all day. And it's more comfortable to eat. I'm finally understanding why you don't want to drink with meals. But even if I space it by 30 minutes I seem to have more "hunger" and more room. Anyone else find this?

You are not alone. I just finished the last of my 64 oz. I am in bed. I feel like I could raid the kitchen and eat another meal. I was perfectly full when I still needed 30 more gms of protein. Well, I struggled and met that goal. I was relieved to not have to eat again; just needed to finish drinking. I finished drinking and sure enough here comes the hungries.

Perhaps we should get our 64 oz in early and make our protein last in our stomach to keep us from being hungry. It makes sense to go to bed with the feeling of satiation.
