Simple meal today, but it was filling. Can't always eat like a king, lol! Not pictured is a fried egg I had for added protein and 3 rice cakes with peanut butter and homemade raspberry/chia seed jam. So much for avoiding rice 😒. But, in my head, rice cakes don't count as rice lol! I'm just having them this week, though, because I was really craving them. Will work off the extra carbs in my workouts.
I also keep worrying I'm eating too much in a single sitting, but my body just soaks it up. I think it may be that the muscle I've gained takes more food to maintain? Plus I workout 5-6 days a week. Just trying to listen to my body, though it is difficult when I extend my eating window. I eat once a day, but when I eat, I eat A LOT and that's what my body's accustomed to. I've found that if I try to extend my eating window for social events and such, I want to eat ALL the food. It happened last week, where I had planned to only have 1 slice of pizza (at a team building) but that turned into 3 slices, PLUS hot wings and fries. I don't even like pizza 😔!!!
I was toying with the idea of changing my IF regimen from OMAD to 20:4, but I probably won't. I just need to be more careful on the few occasions when I have to eat earlier and plan ahead for those times.
Hope you are all having a good week so far!!
