Tuesday, November 11th
I'll have to forget about yesterday. Oh boy, it was a terrible day and I didn't even add it up. I never have happy birthdays, but I should just learn to accept it. I'm 35 now ... that's the way it is.
I'm not giving up and will be posting my menu here.

Breakfast: Was unintentionally skipped because of the Sears man.
Lunch: 2 whole wheat non fat bean burritos. (6 inch whole wheat tortilla's) I ate because I was hungry! I noticed I was about to over eat but stopped myself for the most part... after all it wasn't FOUR burritos.. LOL
Dinner: I feel really screwed on because our refrigerator was supposed to have been fixed (Sears man) but apparently there is a part that won't be here until thursday and then they can't install it until SAT... Will update about dinner tonight.

question about calories.....
I've read the book, figured out my AMR, but I'm a little confused. Do I take my amr, multiply by 7 to get my week's total and THEN subtract 3500 or 7000 depending on if I want to lose 1 or 2 lbs per week? If I subtract just 3500 that takes me to 1034/day and she says not to go below 1200! Its confusing!!!!

yesterday wasn't overly good for me either.
we had the melbourne cup and therefore had a lunch, which is pretty much tradition over here.
Tuesday Meals
breakfast - none. oh, coffee. i slept in so raced out the door with a roadie.
lunch - 1/4 chicken, 1/2 sour dough roll, 3 chicken nuggets, 2 bits garlic bread and a diet coke (oh, the irony!)
dinner - lean steak sandwich with rye bread
snack - pineapple - yum!
Total Calories - 1426 (aiming for 1500) but my fat % was 38%. Carbs and protein were in line.

Emma's Wednesday Menu
Wednesday, November 2nd:
Calorie Target: 1,500
Breakfast: 3/4 of an Uncrustable PB&J by Smuckers, coffee
Lunch: 3/4 of wheat bagel with light cream cheese, coffee
Dinner: 3 sausage links, 3 4-inch wheat pancakes, 1/4 C. light syrup
Snack: 100 calorie Smart Pop popcorn bag (single serving), Reese's PB cup
All was hunger-based eating, but my snack was also due to anxiety. For some reason, I'm always anxious right before my kids get home from school. I haven't really figured it out yet.
Waters today: 12servings
Calories for day: 1,496 (1,500 target)

Yesterday was a little weird as I was at home until midday and then at work until 5pm. I am usually at work from 8am-5pm. We were getting blinds put in (they look fantastic! so much better than the black plastic we had covering the front windows ) so I was at home for that all morning. I should have had lunch before leaving home but wasn't hungry. Got hungry around 3pm so just had some snack food.
9.30am Breakfast: Guardian cereal and low fat milk and too many coffees
3.00pm Lunch: 5 soy and linseed crackers and flavoured tuna.
7.30pm Dinner: fish and chips
9.00pm Snack: pineapple (I know, so much pineapple but it tastes soooooo good!)
Considerably under my goal caloric intake of 1500 - actual was 1129. However, my fat/carb/protein ratio was 29%/42%/29% which is around about what it should have been.
Honestly all was hunger based. I ate when I felt hungry. Does that matter that I didn't have lunch for over 5 hours past having my last meal?
I put the times on my meals just so you could see the break in between meals. I am a little confused by eating hunger based, but also eating at regular intervals throughout the day. I mean, if I am not hungry first thing in the morning, can I wait until I am? The same with lunch - is it wrong?

I guess the idea is to keep your blood sugar levels stable so that you don't have a big dip and start to binge. Hunger based meals are good, but you might be needing abit more in between. For me....I need to have a little pc of fruit/cheese to keep me on an even keel. Good luck though with whatever you decide .....
