I wasn't worried about this at all until today! I had a rough day today. I didn't cheat (I don't think), but I was starving. On the way to pick my son up from preschool, I went through Burger King and got a grilled chicken breast. Is that ok? I don't really know any details on it. I then had a little fish and a ton of veggies and stayed on program, but I'm a little hungry today for some reason. Drinking hot tea now.

So now I am nervous about tomorrow. I am planning to have the omelette for breakfast. I am going to pack raw veggies and the BBQ Crisps for lunch. I thought the crisps would be good so I can eat them slowly throughout the game. Should I pack an additional restricted or just deal with it if I get hungry? For dinner, should I just have a packet instead of "real" meat? Skip night snack or still do it?

Thanks for your help! I do know part of my problem today was having breakfast at 6:45 am. I normally don't until more like 8 or 8:30 and this just threw my whole day off!

Some days are snackier than others. Why not a drink for if you get hungry? The extra restricted...I wouldn't. But I would eat it. Your veggies and bbq crisps should be good.

Why on earth would you skip real meat and your snack? You can make your snack during the game, if you want. But don't skip your real dinner. Even ball parks offer hamburgers (not the best, but withouth the bun, add some pickles and mustard, it'll be good enough). Stick with your normal as much as possible.

Good luck!

Edit: All this is meant in a postive way. Re-read it and it sounded kind of ugly. Just a little tough love, wanting you to think it through. Don't panic. You're doing great.

Good luck with the baseball game, I find that if I am not careful I can eat through the first 3 innings, no problem !

I wouldn't pack a restricted, if your eating crisps ( I don't know the carbs in those) but you can't have to packets for lunch. Why not pack your veggies, crisps and a salad? Never skip your bedtime snack and never move it into a different position in the day, it's very important for you to have that before bed. Dont forget to pack or plan on buying bottled water.

Your chicken you had yesterday will be ok, but we don't know if it had an marinade on it, but I wouldn't stress about it.

If you get those hungry pains, do not give in to them. Drink more water, eat another salad or make a cup of herbal hot tea.

Hope this helps! Best of luck to ya... GO ROCKIES!!!!

I have my snack at 4 every day...w/o until 7, dinner at 7:30 and bed at 9:30.

This has not impacted my loss, nor has my coach said to do anything different...

Why would I need to have the snack at night??
