I ate well over 1200 calories today. As posted on the ‘What Did You Eat Today?’ thread on the Skinny forum, here was my intake for today:
B: 3 small bananas, half a pear (310)
L: 3 small bananas (270)
S: bagel with fat free cream cheese (170)
D: 1 cup raspberries, 1 banana, a serving of steamed mixed veggies, a handful of orange grape tomatoes, and 3/4 of an oven-baked turkey breast (over 500, not sure exactly of total)
Lots of fruit, some veggies, protein and even some grains in there. I’m happy with what I ate today.
I went and bought free range turkey breasts today (boneless skinless). So yeah, raw meat. It ended up being OK although I have scrubbed my kitchen from top to bottom and disinfected the sink three times tonight alone.
I just need some cooking tips for the turkey breasts, I accidentally overcooked it but it was still pretty good. VERY filling.
Earlier this evening while out driving, I had either a mild panic attack or a low blood sugar attack, I’m not sure which but I’m now 99% sure it was the latter. It had only been a few hours since I’d eaten. And it was scary. I honestly thought I was going to pass out behind the wheel. My vision narrowed and I felt myself blacking out. Thankfully I was literally 3 minutes from home, (although it didn’t matter, I was on a two-lane road with nowhere to pull over!) but I grabbed a couple of breath mints (peppermint) out of my purse and popped them in my mouth. It seemed to help almost immediately, so it must have been blood sugar.
I’m not sure why my blood sugar would tank though since I had eaten the bagel with fat free cream cheese only hours earlier. Scary stuff!
Edit: Oh, I know! I suspect it has to do with the past several days of very light eating. I’m not sure if this happens to other people, but my body tends to react the strongest to super low calorie days the day after I do it. The day I eat lightly, I’m fine, but the day after, I feel the effect. It makes sense now.
