How do you all deal with this?
I try to pack in high fiber, nutrient dense foods and lots of water. I avoid low content carbs (like potatoes, breads, etc) as much as possible (but I get epic fail points most of the time). But I'm ALWAYS SO HUNGRY AFTER I EXERCISE!!!!
Today, I had a slice of cheese on a few crackers for a snack (we were out of fruit or, really, anything else). I will also cop to eating a leftover cupcake (I'M SO SORRY HIPS!!).
We walked to get hubby at the train today. It's 2.8 miles round trip. When we got back, we were all famished.
We sat down for dinner. I had about 4-5 oz of pork roast, a little potato (one of those "new red potatoes"), and a cup or two of carrots and sugar snap peas. I skipped the milk/juice and opted for water to not waste the calories. Nothing was cooked in butter or oil or anything, because I wanted to save calories there.
I've been downing water like crazy. I must have drunk at least a gallon today.
This was 1.5 hours ago. I'm starving again. Literally. My stomach is gnawing at itself. The feeling of hunger isn't much of a problem (I could hold out until morning if that was the only problem), it's the impending drop in blood sugar.
Someone PLEASE identify my problem with dinner (and leave the cupcake out of it, I've already had a sit down chat with the other six that are sitting in the fridge. They've been punished enough! ).
