(Idk if this is the right subreddit for this, of not can someone point me in the right direction)

5'11, 225 lbs, currently going though HRT (mtf started 3 months ago) My goal is around 2500 kcal, 410g carbs, 100g fat, 165g protein

Today i ate 4,600 kcal, 560g carbs, 193g fat, 172g protein. (Alot of the fat was from a breakfast honey bun). I use a tracking app and log every bite i take so the information is as accurate as i can get.

My last meal (2 full cups of curry chicken and rice, a banana, an apple, and 4 bottles of water) was less than 2 hours ago and im already starving again to the point of very mild hunger pains.

Im not a very active person, i do inventory and delivery for my job and stoped working out due to cost over 5 months ago, so im not really burning alot of kcal from moving.

So why am i still starving every night? A few months ago i would eat 1 meal a day at McDonald's of less than 2000 kcal and be fine, now that im eating 3 meals a day and cutting back back on fast food im constantly starving.

At the start of 2025 i was almost 280lbs, by December i had hit 220lbs. Now 6 months later i haven't lost a single pound.

3 weeks ago i full cut all sugary drinks from my diet but all else stayed the same. Previously i would drink something like 300 ozs of soda per week, sometimes more. For something like 3,500 kcals per week in just drinks. During that time my weight was stable at 220.

Now after weeks of no soda I've actually gained a few lbs. As said my dite outside of dinks has remained constant. I wasn't expecting to just drop pounds like water but i figured i would at least see a small downward trend after droping 3,500 kcals per week. (For reference i typically only eat around 1,700 - 2,00 kcals per day)

So is there something im missing? Im fairly active as a delivery driver delivering to refineries and up stairs, and i go on occasional hikes so im not sure what im not accounting for.
