I feel like absolute shit today. Especially after everything I ate today. Like I ate heavy meals and it’s really affecting me.
I been trying to balance out at least 1 huge meal, and about 2 snacks between meals so I can have light meals.
This way my calorie intake evens out so I can manage my (what I known it as) hunger pains.

It’s when I spoke to the nutritionist that it finally clicked that these symptoms I feel during prolonged periods of not eating has to do with my sugar levels. Like I had some feeling it was that, especially when an ex-friend explained she suffers from it. But it’s nice to hear a professional confirms it.

And today, dealing with 3 large meals is hurting me in a ways I don’t like. Like it feels too much at once. Especially since they were super heavy.

I’m trying to work around the habits I already have to be able to fit my new diet. Which just so happens I’m a snacker. I enjoy small portions of things because it’s not overwhelming. And large meals takes me a while to get through.

Hence my approach that I’m finding works for me. It’s just embarrassing to show how many times I snack in a day. But it’s getting easier and it’s another way to track what I eat. Since it’s one thing to write it down, it’s a whole other thing to see what I made and how I set it up. Calorie counters don’t showcase how something is made, just the list of ingredients.

For example: chicken. I could say I made homemade Chinese chicken and broccoli. But in the counter I have to address all the ingredients. Yet in a picture I can see I cut everything up and the visual of what that portion looks like.

Anyway, I talk a lot.
