Today was my first day of school, so naturally the day was hectic. Today's "meals" were virtually all snacks, and though this list of food may look like a lot, I didn't eat all that much in each sitting.
Meal 1: Two slices GF toast w/ PB, a banana, and coffee
Meal 2: Fruit leather, almonds, hard boiled egg
Snack: Dark chocolate covered almonds (from Trader Joe's--they are amazing!) and iced tea (unsweetened of course)
Meal 3: Sandwich w/: GF bread, turkey, 2 slices havarti cheese, mustard, and mayo; pickle, small bowl of chocolate fudge ice cream (Tillamook Brand)
Meal 4: One black bean-zucchini patty (it's literally three ingredients: black bean, zucchini, and ground flax seed!), polenta, and a bit of ranch dressing
Again, you may be thinking "Ummm you're trying to lose weight?" Yes, I am, and I am.
1) Smaller meals trick my brain into thinking that I get to eat more than I actually do. Because inside, I'm really just a fat ass who is obsessed with food.
2) Smaller meals boost my metabolism.
3) I have to incorporate some slightly-very unhealthy food into my diet or else I'll feel deprived and then want to eat EVERYTHING. Today I ate more sugar than I have been eating on a daily basis, but hey, it was my first day back teaching I needed it!
As I'm winding down to go to bed, I'm still satisfied: not too full, not too hungry. Smaller meals WORK!
