You aren't cursed with a slow metabolism, you have just been having too many calories. If you are truly never hungry but still not losing weight, then why not reduce your calories by 200-300 a day?

I’ve thought the same, but then my food intake would truly be just plain chicken breast, fish, protein shakes, and green veggies. Which is basically what it is now, but I’d have to cut out the Greek yogurt, berries, and handful of nuts, and maybe the eggs. Remember, I weigh everything.

I can find the calories to cut, it just makes it difficult to sustain for longer than 2 weeks due to the mental load. Plus, I would bet my lifts in the gym would suffer after a while too.

Frankly, it’s probably easier to just go for an extra 20 minutes run.
