Fucking hell /fit/, why am I always so hungry? I'm 5'11 and currently 230 lbs. A year ago I was an obese 265+ lbs, but the lowest I've come down is 225 lbs. The first 30 lbs were fairly easy to lose, but ever since I hit 235 lbs I have been rubber banding back and forth because I keep feeling like I'm starving every day. I'm so close to my first milestone of getting lower than 220 lbs (the lowest weight I remember my fat ass being) but I keep getting severe hunger pangs and headaches the closer I get to it and keep fucking up to stop the pain. Currently gnawing on celery to fight the hunger. Here's what I'm doing to lose weight, please tell me what I can do beyond iron monk mode and please ask me anything I might be leaving out.
>Cutting at 2250 kcal with the Lose It app
>Greyskull LP and C25K three times a week
>I eat strictly what's in pic related + whey protein powder, celery, and onions
>Same cheat meal once per week, but always stay within 2250 kcal range.
>Never skip breakfast and space meals 4x a day
>Drinking 8+ oz of ice water a day
The cheat meal is a burrito bowl from chipotle comprise of brown rice, black beans, onions/peppers, chicken, and lettuce. Hardly sinful I hope....

You could try to incorporate walking or some form of cardio to speed up the process.
However, for the hunger; you just have to deal with it. The cheat meal does not matter since it is still within your caloric intake (therefore, you shouldn't consider it a cheat meal).
You can try to snack on veggies (which you currently already are doing).

Am I ok to do cardio on rest days? I thought I had to just rest and keep excess work to a minimum while my body recovers, or is this a desperate time calls for desperate measures moment?

I'm in a similar situation, but finally broke through this week. I'm 6'2 and was stuck at 255 for over 3 weeks. Finally down to 252 and I kept my cal intake at 2100. I also snack at Chipotle, but beware the calories can really add up with the guac and any type of rice. As for hunger, I'm always hungry, but the biggest trick for me has been staying away from rice, bread, and dairy (exception to Greek yogurt). When I exclude those things, I usually have plenty of food to go around until the end of the day. I also try to eat as healthy as I can early in the day to leave me more calories for the evening. I'm avoiding heavy cardio, but I do walk a couple miles once or twice a week. Lastly, I noticed that while my weight was staying the same, I did lose 1.5 inches on the waist. Maybe you're having some muscle gain with the fat loss.

God I hope so, this has been going on for almost 2 months...

if youre not 40+ yrs and getting plenty of rest (FULL NIGHTS SLEEP) you shouldnt be worried about cardio.
The hunger bouts are prob just your fucked up, fat body trying fight the good changes in diet. Dont snack too often to curb hunger. Chewing on food at irregular times and at high frequency will just mess with your insulin/ghrelin levels (THE SHIT THAT CONTROLS HUNGER). Tough it out. Sooner or later your body will readjust to the good eating habits.

Cut the more colrically dense stuff like rice, potatoes, nuts, and oatmeal. Add in more veggies. You will feel more full.
Do this to cut then maintain with those things added back in.
