Overload dinners! D:

Hey hahaha, so I was just wondering if anyone else ends up eating of 1,000 calories for dinner... Whenever I calculate it, it says somewhere between 700, and over 1,000...:explode: I don't know if it's because I don't eat as much during the day, but I'm just confused hahaha. Any ideas?

This is something I struggle with as well.... between dinner and the only dessert of the day I easily eat 1/2 of my calories at night.
I can tell you that although I struggle with it, it is something that I work on, because your calories should be better spaced throughout the day. My trainer once told me that sumo wrestlers only eat one time a day ... they eat all of their calories at the same meal... that opened my eyes I guess! I dont want to be like a sumo wrestler...

I try to eat the most at breakfast so that I'm not starving by dinner time, and I have all day to burn it off. Eating a lot at dinner scares me because I go to bed within the next couple of hours after.

What do you typically eat for dinner? 700-1000 calories seems a lot for one meal.

I went over my calories for dinner tonight. It's tough! I thought I was doing well, but I will do better tomorrow. I'm going to eat a larger breakfast and a little more at lunch. Maybe that way I won't be as hungry for dinner.
I wish you the best of luck :happy: :happy:

I eat a huge dinner as well! Probably 90% of my calories come after work.

(I'd recommend it, actually, but it requires a lot of micromanagement.)

I watched a program on PBS once that was called "Diet Free". I wrote down all the tips (I should post all of them sometime!), but the one that stuck out to me the most was this: Make your salad bowl bigger than your dinner plate.

My salad bowl is now at least 9 inches across. I went to Dollar General and found four big plastic bowls for about $3. Most dinners start out with this big bowl filled with lettuce and raw vegetables of my choosing. I sometimes add 1 T of sunflower seeds for crunch. My dressing is always a light brand and I measure it every time.

I have found that if I do this, I don't eat nearly as much of the main dish, and I hardly ever want dessert.

Hope this helps!
