[QUOTE="purplekat, post: 593692, member: 34595"] Really struggling with carb cravings today. I'm not hungry, I'm just noticing I'm not eating as much and my subconcious is needling me to do something about it :( So I took action - I sat down and worked out how many carbs I was eating on an average day before I decided to lower my carb instake... EEK! An average day was noticeably over 200g of carbs! That's not taking into account the days I got talked into takeaway, or was stuck for options at lunchtime (being disorganised). So although I'm not going for very low carb, I'm still more than halfing my recent levels of carb intake, so no wonder my body's wondering what's going on! I've switched to Burgeon bread, so had a fairly suitable lunch today (burgeon with philadelphia). I had 2 slices of the bread, however I'm feeling quite full after that so I could probably either have 1 slice of bread only, or get the 400g loaves with the smaller slices :) My plan for dinner is an omelette I think, or crustless quiche. I'll need to see if the supermarket delivered the whole order before deciding though. I'll need to plan ahead thoroughly for the next couple of weeks, as we stay close enough to the comonwealth games to be very impacted trying to get to supermarkets etc, so I'll need to do my best to avoid needing to go there during times there are competitions on. I forsee many omelette and soup days! [/QUOTE]
