I'm new, HI!

Hello,

I joined a gym on Nov 11 with my two best friends. I joined My Fitness Pal shortly thereafter. Fitness pal has really opened my eyes to the bad stuff I eat during the day. I'm finding that I have a few calories left over at the end of the day. Even with those calories, I find that I'm "well fed" to even include a small dessert and coffee (my weakness) while I'm at work.

I do have a question for the community: While I'm at the gym, I find myself craving things I normally wouldn't really look for. Yesterday, I wanted vinegar potato chips, rice pudding, etc. Is this normal? Do you experience this? My work out buddies and I find it to be very funny, so aside from being wierd, it's comedy in between reps.

Best of luck with your goals, and see you around the boards.

John

Welcome and good luck.

I am not sure about the why of the cravings, but I do get cravings while working out. I will say that they are not always things that I normally eat, I guess I have never really paid attention.

Well, atleast I'm not crazy!

Happy Thanksgiving!
