A WHOLE Rotisserie Chicken.

Axels91

I was going to try and eat it. the whole chicken. it would have been my only real meal as i had been snacking on salad ingredients.
i wanted the protein. I overdid it at the gym. I came home with an estimated deficit of about 700-900 calories.

I couldn't eat it. It made me want to puke. instead, i am craving SUGAR and chocolate.

So, instead of just grabbing a carton of minute maid and a bag of chocolate disks, should i drink tons of water and maybe take some magnesium?

dehydration and magnesium deficiency?

and how can i make myself eat more of the chicken? i keep undereating and i dont want to go down that road but i wont just eat anything to fill in the calories. is rotisserie even a good idea? should i eventually get grilled? the rotisserie did have alot of oil and the texture was too tender. made me want to throw up.

Um, stop eating the chicken. You do not have to eat a whole chicken to get sufficient protein.

Just eat a balanced meal. If you ate a bunch of chicken, eat some veggies or maybe have some fruit if you're craving something sweet.

If another day like today crops up and you didn't spread out your protein intake so you get enough throughout the day, just do better next time. I usually spread out my protein intake across 3-4 meals. It helps me get enough without having to eat a ton of it in one sitting.

Really? Just eat some healthy food. Put the chicken into a sandwich and have some fruit.

Why is it your only meal? If you can't eat all your calories in one sitting, don't. Eat more than one meal. And yes, it's okay to have a little bit of sweets.

HUH? What?

I get it now DUH... Eat a nice meal that has a little protein, complex carbs and healthy fats this always helps me when I have cravings.

A whole chicken is not needed for protein just a quarter chicken, or chicken leg or chicken breast but never a whole chicken...

Exactly!

You can put the chicken in your salads if you like. Just break it up into bite size bits and mix it in. You don't have to do bread if you don't want to though you should not be afraid of it.

Is this for real? Like, actually?

You could, you know, eat sensibly. It's not between eating a whole chicken or starving or eating a bowl of sugar. Might be time to talk a professional.

STOP EATING!!! Give your body time to digest the chicken it may take a long while until you actually feel hungry again but thats a good thing as your doing intermittent fasting! LOL.

Haven't you heard about the show Survivor???

i know you guys are being sarcastic, but it was a serious question. i will probably end up eating chicken for days. i dont want to throw it out but i am already sick of it. it was either that or beans and if i see another can of beans i will throw it across the room.

i was trying to follow the caveman diet. go ahead n laugh, but i thought it would really give me all the energy i needed. or replace all the stuff i lost working out on E this morning.

The best of both worlds!

There are many ways to prepare chicken just be creative and before you know it will all be gone!

Yup! I love rotisserie chicken but the texture...can sometimes be questionable. I would add it to a salad w/crispy bacon, a lil bit of cheese, loads of dressing (for the carbs!)....Just make it a completely filling meal.

Personally, I may get the urge to binge now and then after working out but thats just my body needing to re-fuel. DONT do it...the guilt isnt worth it.


ETA: avoid the bread!
it is evil

Your relationship with food is seriously messed up.

Eat food. In meals. That include a variety of macro nutrients .. enjoy the flavors and the company. Try making your own food. From ingredients that are also food.

Think of the most normal boring stable person you know. Eat like her for a week.

Meantime, find a therapist cuz this behavior is mest up. Your problems with food run deep and without addressing them, you're just not gonna have the rich full life you deserve.

Um no it's not. You don't have to eat it if you don't, but it's not evil.

You do know that Paleo means you eat more dietary fats and can still have fruit right? Fruit = sugar. Have at it.

Bread pushed me into a puddle when I was little.
