Starving today!

If you are doing a good workout there really shouldn't be any reason to be starving, unless your daily calorie intake is set too low. Make sure you eat back your workout calories. What is your base calorie intake without exercise?

Drink plenty of water, that will fill you up

For an example...my base calorie intake is set to 1400cal (first goal to get to 140lbs)...which isn't a lot but I don't get starving on this. When I workout out (which is 5-6x/week) I usually burn over 700 cals so that means I should be eating 2100cals on workout days. That is a LOT of calories for me which is great because it means I don't starve! I also can never quite make it to that many calories.

My suggestion, 5-6 small meals a day, rather that just 3. Keeps your sugar levels stable and you won't ever feel starved if you eat every 3hours. Keep those portions in check though. And EAT your workout calories!!!!

And it is possible to eat healthy at restaurants, just plan ahead. A lot of chain restaurants have nutritional guides online. You can always ask for your meat to be cooked without butter, dressing on the side etc etc.

Cup of tea helped. I'm contemplating apple and peanut butter...then maybe a nap (I'm on a vacation, after all). Then workout, then dinner.
It's just so WEIRD. Could be the approach of T.O.M.

I LOVE apples and peanut butter...so YUMMY! And a good filling snack.

I had a day like that earlier this week. I went ahead and ate because my stomach was actually growling. Then started the next day off with a clean slate and haven't been hungry eating the same stuff as before. Go figure!@!#

I'm having an extra hungry day as well, although I've eaten more than I would've at this point. So, I ate some more. If I go over by a banana's worth of calories, so be it.
