Could I be eating too much??
| Wed, 04-07-2004 - 12:57pm |
Sorry, I am full of questions this week! I'm just wondering if because I don't have alot of weight to lose (13 lbs. to goal) that maybe I'm eating more than I should. I started eating some of the foods from the SBD monday, but today (wed.) is my first official day on it. I haven't been hungry, and just overall feel like I am eating more than I usually do. Will I still lose weight??? If there is something I should change I'd like to make the change early enough.
As an example here's what I've had so far today:
Breakfast: 2 egg omlet with cheddar, 1/2 c. broccoli
Lunch: Salad (in a bag) adding cucumber slices and cut up chicken. Chicken was from last nights dinner, baked in the oven with lemon and pepper.
Snack: String cheese (part skim mozz)
I think I'm following the diet ok, just feels like thats alot more food than I usually eat.
Any input???
Thanks,

Try eating all of your snacks and meals. If it feels like you are eating too much then maybe just cut out one snack. You decide which one you don't really need. Sometimes I didn't want the snack between lunch and dinner if I had a later lunch. Keep us posted and good luck :D
I'm not too far ahead of you (started Sun. night). I'm finding that there's a lot more *volume* going in b/c of the veggies, but the total calories are possibly smaller b/c I'm eating smaller portions of protein at dinner (not eating an 8 or 12 oz portion, but trying to stick to close to 4 oz, without actually weighing it).
The other thing I learned from one of my friends was that the scale didn't move as quickly as the inches. Her clothes fit differently before the scale showed a change. so you might set some goals in those terms, particularly if you are exercising more (muscle weighs more than fat!).

Please don't ever feel bad or hesitate to ask questions!

Thanks for the input. When I made my omlet this morning I thought I really could survive with just 1 egg, 2 seemed like alot once it was made.
Thanks again!!!
