Donate Blood, adjust diet?

I am very new to tracking everything that goes into my body. Before i applied to the, "it is not too bad for me" school of thought. My wife has been killing it with measuring and counting and is seeing great results and has me playing along.

My question is how do i adjust my caloric intake when i donate blood? I am going to donate blood today, and i want to replenish, but without jumping off the guidelines i have been following.

Any suggestions?

    I looked around a little and two things are pretty unanimous - drink lots of water today and don't do anything strenuous. If they have any "treats" for you afterward, go for it, just don't forget to count them in your diary. Or, if you brought a banana today, have that instead. :wink:
