I don't typically post anything to the blog about feeling satisfied; but when I'm hungry, writing a post helps me wait for my brain to catch up to my stomach.
This is one of those posts.
Today's been a pretty good day for macronutrients. 25% fat, 35% carbohydrates, and 40% protein. Calorie distribution hasn't been bad either. 987 for breakfast, 530 for lunch, and 690 for dinner. No early morning/late night binges. I lifted weights in the morning. I made sure to get a fair amount of carbohydrates before the workout. After the workout, it was 450 calories from protein powder/shake. Lunch was a hoagie w/ no cheese. No worries about mayo; I hate the stuff.
So dinnertime came around and I'm hungry, but no more than usual. Tonight's dinner is a beef stir-fry. The recipe is from Cooking Light. It's almost entirely beef. I ate all that we had - 3 servings. So why am I still so hungry? I'm sure that most of it is in my head, but what isn't?
My strategy is to load up on calorie free liquids throughout the night and otherwise occupy myself with stuff... like writing a blog post about being hungry.
