Snack static came back and my trendline barely blinked

I keep a daily 1–5 hunger/craving score in the same spreadsheet as weight and protein. For 14 weeks my craving average sat around 1.8; this past 10 days it's 3.4. That's basically my old baseline.

I braced for the scale to jump, but my 7-day weight average is flat and my 28-day slope is still -0.22 lb/week. I'm eating about the same: 1,780–1,850 kcal, 135g protein, 30g fiber. The difference is mental — I have to decide to stop instead of forgetting to eat.

My mildly contrarian take: appetite returning isn't automatically a failure signal. I don't love it, but the trendline is more persuasive than my anxiety.

Anyone else seen the internal snack chatter return while the weight trend stayed boring?

That flat 7-day average is a nice plot twist. I’d be curious whether your 3.4s are evenly spread or clustered — mine spike at airport gates and hotel desks around 4pm, especially if lunch was mostly carbs.

I added two cheap columns to my tracking: time of craving and location (airport/hotel/restaurant), and it made the “static” look way less random. Might also compare protein per meal, not just daily total, since 1,800 kcal can feel totally different split 20/40/40 vs 50/50/50.

Are those 10 days mostly travel days, or is this happening at home too?
