I will try with working out a day before, sounds like a good tip. thanks :)
-
No problem :D I donated todays morning. I love the taste of hot chocolate after donation and that sound sleep after a whole day. It's our tradition with my friends, we do it no matter what, every two months. I've donated over 20 pints of blood already :)
-
Thanks guys, now I get it all. It's not a big deal for me I usually donate about 9 AM and continue my work day afterwards, it's just that hunger about 5 PM! :D Anyway, thanks guys for a great feedback. And of course I recommend donating blood, it's fun :D
-
Alright, I'm not a doctor, actually it doesn't matter for me, I just wanted to know how you guys deal with it, because I often feel wild hunger after a few hours after donation.
-
I see now that was probably a wrong assumption: people burn approximately 650 calories per donation of one pint of blood, according to the University of California, San Diego. Anyway, it makes a perfect sense, because your body has to physically create a whole pint of a new blood. In Poland male can donate every 8 weeks…

"Not sure how you would log the blood donation!" Yeah, I tried to find an exercise like that in database, but that was stupid :D I don't want to log it, just making sure that if I will eat a bit more carbs, fat and proteins it will be alright
-
Well, I assume it's about 4 000, because I receive 10 chocolates and some other stuff as a regeneration meal (lol). I always give the chocolates to my younger sister or some kids on the street, but I always feel like I have to eat something really big :D
-
Thanks guys, party is over I feel like *kitten*, but I had a good time :D I should have known that my head is not that strong as before diet.
-
Thank you! I will log everything. Should I eat less tomorrow to keep the calories balance for week negative? I mean, It should be about 1k calories over my daily goal today and I just feel so bad about it :D
-
Thanks! Good luck to you too!
-
Thanks guys for the advices! I guess I got used to a very rapid weight loss during last weeks :D I use a food scale and I weight every morning before easting and drinking anything and after the morning poop :D
-
Yeah, I did it while reaching 87kg, 85kg and 80 kg, so the goals are quite new :)
