so today has been pretty good foodwise...however my question arose during dinner...that is that during dinner i got halfway through it and i was stuffed, :huh: but did not know what to do- should you stop eating once you are full or eat the food and stick with the calorie quota...any ideas/suggestions welcome!


thanks skiski :indifferent:

    I stop when I am full, even if I'm not done with my meal. I then go in and adjust the calories. I don't always end up eating all of my calores, but I'm still losing. I hate that stuffed can't eat one more bite feeling, so I avoid it and just stop. I do save the leftovers and if I am feeling hungry in a couple of hours, I'll finish my meal. I hope this helps.

    Well, yeah, you should stop when you are full. But maybe try planning ahead a bit too, cuz if you plan ahead you really shouldn't have that happen very often. especially considering your evening meal should be the lightest of the 3.

    pbjsand &Nana27: thanks for the advice I have gone and adjusted the calories, given the cat the rest of the fish and kept the veggie encase I am hugry later-so now have about 800 to use lol!!! I guess I was just a bit surprised to find myself feeling full as normally I am still hungry even after the meal! Strange place to be after spending most of my life try to be full!

    Banks1850: Thanks for the advice also...this pretty much the first time in years i have experinced feeling full! my evening meal was a tuna fillet with a dash of balsamic vinger & spring onions,sweetcorn, green beans and brocoli...nothing to heavy. But I am going to plan tomorrows meal.


    Many thanks as always guys & girls... xxx
