Dried Fruit

  • I feel so awful....
    i have just sat and munched a whole bag of dried fruit....
    apricots, apples, peaches and pruins....
    i was so on plan today as well....

    this week is proving a bad food week for me....
    i think its cos im so close to goal i am lacking in motivation and go!....

    how bad really will the bag of dried fruit be for me?....
    its scale day tomorrow too....
  • i doubt a bag of dried fruit will affect your weigh in too badly. I suppose it depends on the size of the bag! At least it was something healthy that you munched on
  • but i dint necessarily think dried fruit was too healthy....
    isnt it full of sugar?....
    fair enough tho it could have been a bar of chocolate....
  • well, according to the daily plate bags of dried fruit that are around 40g in weight tend to be at the most 140 calories, so i doubt that its too bad for you. Yeah, its prob full of sugar, but at least its not full of transfats
  • tomorrow is a new day.fruit is healthy for you better than choclate and other junk food.my advice is to skip a meal tomorrow and workout for an extra hour tommorow.Good luck .
  • skipping a whole meal seems like a lot to compensate for a hundred calories or so to me >.< i would just continue as normal ^_^
  • Try not to worry about it too much! 100 or 200 or 300 calories more really isn't going to kill your progress as long as you don't do it every day. And skipping meals probably only leads to hunger and more snacking; bad idea. Don't punish yourself for going over your calories by hardcore restricting. It really gnaws away motivation.
  • Drink a lot of water! You probably had a lot more fiber than you're accustomed to
  • oh yes....
    im 113.1lbs today....
    down 2.6lbs from last friday....
    today is a new day....
    and im going to start a better food week!....
  • yeah, dried fruit is tricky - it has so much less volume than fresh fruit that it's easy to eat a lot w/out thinking about it! but it's still a pretty healthy thing to munch on. =)
