I agree! Your body has gone through a lot lately and is probably needing extra nutrition. If you do eat more I say just stay with the healthier stuff instead of going crazy on the bad stuff. Maybe all your body needs is one or two days of a few more calories than its been getting.

I have heard that you should allow yourself 100-200 extra calories around TOM because your body is going through so much.

Great Thanks!!:smile:

Ok so I have been going to the gym for almost a month now and I have never gone to the gym before. I have been jogging a mile (among many other excersies) everyday and have noticed my knees really bothering me. Do I need to avoid the treadmill and do the bike?

I read that eating a pretty big breakfast will help. I go through the exact same thing every once in a while but havent really found a way to fix it. I can say that there were days where I gave in and went way over my calorie intake (by 1000 or more) and I still obtained my goal weight and have maintained it for around 4…
