I am 6'1'', 176 lbs, age 17 and get 5-6 hours of strenuous exercise per week (sometimes 7). I used this calorie calculator: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ and my maintenance is 3400-3500.
My goal is to gain muscle with little fat and I consume 3,500 calories every day, I count every calorie and macro. But my problem is that I am still semi-hungry throughout the day. My 6 meals consist of these calories_ 640, 500, 750, 700, 750, 160 = 3500. Is this normal to feel hungry between meals? Should I increase calories?

Eat 2-3 larger meals instead of 6 meals. More satiety.

Solution. Eat more fiborous veggies, they make you less hungry without the kcals.

You can put away 3500 kcals a day and still be hungry?

If you're still hungry then you need more food. It's really that simple, your body knows more than an online calculator.

well for one thing your calculator is a fluke, it told me to eat around 500 kcals less than I am currently eating to gain weight.
http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/CalRequire.html is in my opinion more accurate, atleast for me.

Thanks for the link Therickz. As for other comments, I increased my fiber intake today and noticed that I was not hungry! Thanks for that advice Eriktheelectric.Originally Posted by Therickz
