AlgaeGirl's Journal, 03 February 2011

I seem to be constantly going over my RDI.

Breakfasts and snacks have generally been the same thing - I make a smoothie for breakfast, but my blender doesn't like small amounts of liquid, so I double my recipe and save the other half to have after my workout.

Lunches are pretty simple too. I almost always make some kind of wrap or sandwich.

Things start to fall apart mid-afternoon. I have another snack of some sort - either string cheese or fruit or crackers - and then I start making dinner. And it's usually dinner for two, because I've been able to eat with my boyfriend again. His schedule actually has him coming home around 5 or 6pm most nights.

So either I swap my second smoothie for my lunch, or I don't have anything else remotely *munchy* after my lunch. Or I really, really have to watch what I'm eating for dinner.

I may be over-estimating my portion sizes, but I sincerely doubt it. If anything, I'm probably eating WWAAAYY more than what I'm recording, which feels kinda rotten.

Or, alternatively, I deliberately over-eat a few days a week, then deliberately under-eat (but just by a couple hundred calories) for the other days of the week. Sort of a caloric zig-zag.

We'll see if the extra calories I've consumed over the past few days translate into a nasty little gain on tomorrow's weigh-in.

Looks like your days start out good and then it goes downhill in the afternoon. Maybe some of that Extra "Dessert Delights" gum might help? (Something to keep the mouth moving and it has a good taste to it). Probably need to figure out something otherwise that banana bread is going to keep getting you!

I have the same issue, late afternoon munchies are tough. Try a low fat but high fiber/protein snack: 2 light rye Wasa crispbreads, laughing cow light swiss wedge cheese with low fat smoked turkey (make sure you follow serving suggestions on package for meat, shouldn't be more that 45 calories max). You can sprinkle with garlic powder for extra flavor -- It fills a big plate, takes a awhile to eat and is very crunchy, tasty and filling.
