I'm having a really rough time after eating my allocated calories for the day. I could probably eat four pizzas without missing a beat. I anticipated today being somewhat rough because I didn't budget for a dessert today, but not like this. I had both a grilled cheese and a huge salad with 200 cal of cheese, an avocado, and hard boiled egg. I had some nuts as a snack. It was almost 1400 cal.
I looked at my log and asked myself what was different about today. Well, I just ran out of fresh food and switched to frozen veggies for my salad. My base was baby spinach. This has happened to me before. I looked back at my Lose it notes log to confirm--I almost ALWAYS mark "felt down and hungry" when I ran out of fresh food and started digging into my frozen options. I use healthy frozen options too. Think spinach, cauliflower, etc that isn't the prepacked high sodium meal variety. It's almost always the direct equivalent of something I would have fresh. Is this a thing? It's not economical for me to make a grocery trip more than 1-2 times a month.
