Being hungry is part of cutting. T3 will make you hungry. Deal with it darling!
Also, if you take advantage of the hunger and move to a low carb diet, you'll have easier control over binging and you won't dive into the pantry looking for sweets in the wee hours of the night. I've learned a lot about women by watching my wife compete and do this stuff. I know what you meant by "starving" - you meant not just for anything but specifically carbs. This is what happens on a low carb diet that does not completely remove sugars from it.
Go Keto for 3-4 days and start taking 2-4 TBSP of MCT per day and you'll have control over that hunger in no time. Other things to consider is getting some apple pectin supplement in capsule form. Take 1-2 of those 2-3 times per day with MCT in your meal and a very low carb diet and you will not only shred up but stop being so hungry too.
As mentioned above (I think) - ECA, more specifically, Ephedrine, will do a very good job at killing hunger as does Yohimbine HCI.
And one more thought -- to be fair, women have it tougher in a few ways - particularly with monthly estrogen changes (even when you are on the pill) you have changes in estrogen that makes you indecisive on sweet vs. salty foods and also your body is low on certain nutrients and for whatever reason chocolate has all the endorphins that your body is missing in the process of menstruating. Hence the widespread craving for the chocolate during periods. So there's that too. And finally, women do
not have favorable changes in leptin/insulin/glucagon to reduce hunger after a good workout like men do. Most men will not be interested in pounding food right after a challenging and productive resistance training routine. Women on the other hand do not get any changes in the hunger hormones and instead just put themselves in a depleted phase - which leads to increased hunger out of necessity for replenishment of glycogen. I also think women tend to get ornery when their blood glucose levels drop into deep fat burning stages which further explains the unfavorable response to hunger after working out.
Of all things I notice about difference between me and my wife when it comes to cutting for a show and being hungry is that for myself, eating delicious "out-of-boundary" foods or going over my macros for that meal is a matter of desire. I desire to do so and sometimes the desire is overwhelming but in most cases I can just talk myself down. For my wife, when she gets hungry and is unable to eat, she loses her ability to function and think normally and literally loses all interest in anything else. It's like fight or flight takes over and she is purely instinctive to get her stomach fed, lol. Even if she isn't particularly craving sweets, when she is hungry, it's not a "that'd be so nice to have" mentality to her. It's a "I'm gonna pull the b&%$! card and make everyone around me miserable until someone feeds me", lol. So I don't take your situation lightly because I think women experience a considerably more hopeless response to hunger than men do.
BTW, if you really are only 18% body fat @ 160lbs I bet you are potential bombshell material with all that mass..unless you were really tall but even at 5'8" you'd still be thick in all the right places.
