For some reason today I woke up only about 20 minutes ago, it's 12:11 PM here, and I have had nothing to eat/drink yet!!

How on earth do I catch up on all of my calories without stuffing myself silly :noway:

I have normally already had breakfast, a small snack (fiber one bar), and I'd be making lunch right now :frown:

    The ONLY days I get to sleep in are the days I don't have to work the next day so I stay up late and therefore don't have a problem eating my calories :drinker:

    There are plenty of high calorie healthy foods...not sure what they are though:bigsmile:

    Sorry can't be much help...I'm sure someone can give ya some ideas though :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    I hear nuts are quite high in the calorie range? Honestly? If it were me I'd run out and buy one of those huge TV Dinner Sports Grill things. ): They're like a weeks worth of calories but SOOOO good. HAHAHAHAHA. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I do this too. I LOVE sleeping in on the weekends. Oh man I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow! But I will be up late tomorrow night, and I'll have plenty of time to eat all my calories!

    It's Friday. I'll be drinking my calories come 11pm.

    That's what UGA is for, right?! :)

    :laugh: I'll have to splurge and eat a big tv dinner later :tongue:

    I planned on exercising today too... so there's even more calories :noway:

    And I wish I was going out so I could drink all of my calories away :grumble: but nobody has plans tonight for some reason :yawn:

    I'm so glad someone addressed this issue. I never no what to do on the weekends when I sleep in and the timing of my meals gets messed up and my desire for food goes down and then I get most of my exercise in on the weekends... I have such a hard time with getting my calories in.

    What I was wondering was since I was sleeping doesnt that reduce the calories I need because I'm not conscious or active... so a defecit wouldn't be as big as on a weekday when I'm up early and active???

    Someone please answer this one for me... thanks

    I wish I could go out. I was invited out, but I am so freaking tired. I need to get my sleep...I'm learning how to listen to my body now. Oh well.

    That's a good question too!! I never though of it that way, I know our bodies burn calories while we sleep also, but probably not nearly as much, right? :grumble: Why is this all so complex? :tongue:
