It wasn't that I ate anything that was bad in particular,
just the quantities were off, especially meat. I had ham and
turkey at lunch, more (unplanned) ham when I got home
because I was starved and had to go grocery shopping, then
steak while I was baking. *sigh* I didn't even add it all
up. More than I want to know!
But tomorrow is another day right?
Question for you folks. The idea that carbs make you hungry
more quickly is an idea that I've been resisting for
years...probably because I don't want to give them up (and
have no intention of doing so now!). I love my bread,
cereal, rice, pasta, etc. and will continue to enjoy them.
A staple of brought-from-home lunches for my husband and I
is a dish of assorted carb-y stuff - Simple Pleasures
cookies, some saltines, a rice cake, worth about six points
in all. However, over the past couple of days I've included
a hard boiled egg as one of my snacks. That little protein-
packed two point egg seems to have a lot more staying power
than my six-point pack of carb snacks. I feel like I should
start packing two eggs and skip the cracker bit, save some
points and be more satisfied.
What do you folks think? I'm not going to go the all-protein
route (as heavenly as daily steak sounds), but perhaps a
small change in that direction can have some results.
