Okay here's the deal. I started having a bunch of fruits & vegetables and because they fill me up, I tend to not eat a lot of other things. I've heard about the whole too few calories and 'starvation mode' thing, and I'm thinking what I do eat now isn't a bunch of calories. I do still want to lose about 10 pounds - could my new colorful diet actually be hurting this? I don't cook, and my mini fridge is in my bedroom (I live at home), so I tend to just grab and munch.
Example:
7:30am: Home from work. Bowl of some sort of fruit salad. Strawberries, blueberries, grapes etc. I'll probably chase this with two nonfat 40 cal yogurt cups.
9:00am: If I'm still hungry, I might have a bit of cottage cheese, or some baby carrots.
11:00am: If I'm still awake, I'll have a 240cal serving of microwavable brown rice.
noon - 10:00pm: Sleep
10:00pm: two more yogurt cups
11:00pm- 7am: work, nutri-grain bar for lunch, need something quick, 130cals
Weekends are obviously a different story, but generally I don't think I eat that much.. I also take multi-vitamins and drink water all day long.
What do you guys think? At first I was like, yay produce! But...
Thanks in advance
