HEALTHY TIP:
Diet soda may have no calories, but it contains artificial sweetener, which actually will make us hungrier
because when the body gets ready to digest the 'carbohydrates', it finds there are none. This leads to a desire to eat more.

Monday:

310 - 2 slices of toast topped with cottage cheese and grape tomatoes
100 - V8 juice box
100 - Salad (baby spinach/grape tomatoes/mushrooms/dressing)
75 - Fun size Kit Kat
150 - Cottage cheese on toast
500 - Spinach ravioli with cheese and tomato sauce
Megaloads of water

I struggled today because it was over 40c (about 110) and our air con broke! OH JOY. Hopefully someone can come out tomorrow and fix it. Until then, my appetite is gone. I'm just eating because I have to.

At least you didn't go under 1200 so I think you are fine (except for the goal you set). 40 C is sooo hot, I'd probably end up in bed with Heat Stroke - so I think drinking the water is the most important thing - you totally did the right thing.

hi flowerfluff:

As you gals know, i'll be the first one in line to advocate not starving yourself when losing weight, eating enough calories for your exercise level etc. However, i really think we need to listen to our body. If eating too much is actually making you ill, this is not a good thing. Really when it is so hot out i'd agree and say you should j ust be making sure to drink lots of water. Maybe you could make yourself some fruit smoothies or something ?

If you want to get the calories up there, i guess the key is to eat high calorie but healthy foods (nuts, dried fruit etc).

Anyway i think you are doing really good considering how hot it is. :yourock:

Thanks gals. I totally agree. I went out today and got some high cal snacks - yoghurt and muesli, wheat crackers with veggie dips, that kinda thing. I also got salad sprinkles yesterday - sesame seeds, garlic seeds, sunflower seeds etc, to add some cals to my salads. So the rest of the week should be a breeze for me.

TODAY:

120 - banana
350 - sandwich (cottage cheese/tomato/lettuce)
50 - about a cup or less of salad
200 - protein/health food shake
600 - dinner (quiche/basic green salad/about 8 hot chips)
Mega water!!!

1320 TOTAL

Hmmm...doesn't seem like a lot of food, but I'm STUFFED! :)

Ok, so Friday I blew out the window by having a more than a few sneaky drinks. Yesterday I know what I ate, but it wasn't much and I know I didn't reach my goal. Today I am up to about 600 cals. Now helathy cals either and tonight is our roast dinner night at the tavern with friends, so we'll see how we go.
