...to eat right on their you days from the gym or exercising? I find that when I take a day off, it's super hard to eat right. I know it just basically comes down to making the right decision, but man I find it tough!

On days I don't workout I have to eat less because I don't have exercise calories to eat. But I try to do at least 30 mins of exercise most days so I can eat more. :laugh:
Try eating lots of veggies, the fiber will fill you up for less calories. Sweet peppers are my fav because they are sweet, they have the crunch, and they are really healthy for you. I eat them as an afternoon snack and I am fine until dinner. You could also drink some tea to keep from eating if you just need to taste something.

I just realized that my first sentence didn't make any sense! It was supposed to be "their off days"! :laugh:0 -
No... I plan out my whole day usually in the morning... and if I go over and don't have exercise, I just make it a point to walk around a lot at home to burn some extra calories.0
