For those that do some form of fasting, do you think you have trained your body to not be hungry until a certain time?

I’m hungry when I wake up…but I dowse that hunger with coffee then I go off to the gym. I have a snack and a big meal after.

Same goes for ‘eating by the clock.’ I used to this a couple years ago, and like clockwork I was hungry every 2 hours. It was annoying.

Personally, I’d rather eat bigger meals and let my brain be the guide of when I’m hungry, not the clock. But I also end up eating less this way I think. How do I get the best of making sure my cals are good but also go my natural instinct to eat when I want?

I really believe in eating when hungry/stopping when satisfied. But I think I’ve trained myself to eat like a turtle this way.

I think its something you get used to. I had a hard time fasting until noon at first, but now I sometimes go as late as 2 without eating just because I don’t feel like it until then. I haven’t exactly been IFing, but I do get a majority of my cals in 2-3 large meals usually between noon and 10pm.

I like eating a few big meals a day much more than little ones every 2-3 hours. I’m too lazy for that shit. I also feel more satisfied and I am less likely to overeat (unless I accidentally go waaaay too long between big meals).

Is this a women’s only forum…? not looking to tread on anyones toes here!

Crap…I tried to be funny and it didn’t embed.

Long story short…you have cooties. But if you’re cool, most women here don’t care.

Really …cooties?

Shit.

Kale chip recipe. Super simple.

You must answer this question in order to participate, Timmyo:

Nutella or NUTELLA?

Why does it have to be so hard?

Yeah. I log my food on my “My Net Diary” app every day. I don’t really plan meals, but what I eat and how much I eat depends on where I’m at.

I feel like when I do the every 2 hours thing, I have to do a lot more prep, my blood sugar is more of an issue, and I’m more likely to find myself starving toward the end of the day with no calories left.

No I feel ya. I’ve been “IF’ing”(Skipping breakfast) for a long time, lol.

Sometimes if I’m really famished I’ll have some food in the A.M.

But only now have I been tracking cals. I found when I just ate whatever/whenever I was eating like a turtle. Not ENOUGH. So I’m focusing on still sticking how I feel I should eat but also being weary of cals.

this probably makes no sense. I understand it in my head, LOL!

I initially watched the movie “Food Matters” and that changed everything for me food wise anyway, then came the forks over knives and others but… Eating a diet that is full of natural unprocessed ingredients, I feel better, weight fell off me, more energy. I probably am a little anal, in fact a lot anal about what I eat, no sugar, gluten refined or unprocessed ingredients, but It works for me.

Egads, I’m a naughty girl.

I’m behind, I feel like I saw single serve nutella in here. I will catch up tonite, in delight.

For what it’s worth, I budget to have a fancy phone. It’s something I want so I sacrifice other things that I want for it. Being in school for fucking ever means that I have no money.

Nutella? I have seen this Nutella stuff you are all going on about but -
I have never eaten Nutella, is it good?

Is it better than Vegemite? Cause its the bomb, and it is a concentrated yeast extract. Sounds delish Hmm? but it is.

Spook

p.s. I hope my quads are nice enough to post in this female food thread.
