The debate is on. Which is a better way to eat during the day? Just 3 square meals? Or every 3 hours? My trainer friend, with pleading hands, begged me to eat every 3 hours. She is convinced that if I do eat every 3 hours I will start to drop weight. I've tried that in the past and all I end up doing during the day is thinking about what I'm going to eat next. When eating 3 meals a day I find that I get famished and tend to make not so good choices. What does it really matter when I'm counting calories too? Just as long as I stay with in my allotted amount of calories I should be fine right?
Today I seemed to be SUPER hungry. I had gotten back from the water park with my kids and I was just hungry. Something about being in the sun and water that makes one's hunger roar like a lion. I didn't make very good choices. But those choices didn't completely derail me either. I would say that is success? What's a fat girl to do? Brush off that twix and move on to better choices.
I think tomorrow, to prevent my hunger from roaring like a ravenous lion, I'm going to try and eat every 3 hours. I think another of my problems is that I'm not getting enough protein in my diet. I know protein keeps me fuller longer and helps me to build muscle.
Off to make something yummy for dinner.
