Blood Donation Advice

Katiedid717

I'm on a 1200 cal/day diet, but I'm scheduled to donate blood early(ish) tomorrow morning. I know that I usually recover faster if I eat a little extra the day before and day of.

Should about 200 calories more be sufficient? I'm planning on frosted mini wheats tonight and tomorrow morning, mainly because the iron content is so high.

you lose about 500-600 calories by donating blood. create your own exercise for 500 calories and add it to your diary for tomorrow to give yourself that deficit.
