Learning to Balance

sara · 04-12-2004, 11:36 PM

I'm trying to add up all the carbs in my meals for tomorrow, and I'm having problems of making up meals. .. got used to minimum carbs.. I need some ideas of meal planing with high cabrs

Cate · 04-13-2004, 10:08 AM

Do you like sweet pots or oatmeal?? Those are great carbs.

atherjen · 04-13-2004, 10:59 AM

how about use the guidelines and sample menu that I helped you with shortly ago- it was balanced in carbs in meals

Cate · 04-13-2004, 11:04 AM

Or listen to Jen

sara · 04-13-2004, 03:40 PM

Thanx girls

I can add bananas too!

Cate · 04-13-2004, 05:26 PM

Oh yes....bananas!!!

sara · 04-13-2004, 05:40 PM

I don't think I can fit all 1700 cals in today

too much food!

greekblondechic · 04-13-2004, 05:41 PM

So eat more calorically dense foods sweetie.

sara · 04-13-2004, 05:45 PM

you mean with fat? I need to keep my fat only 15% from my calories and mostly is carbs..

atherjen · 04-13-2004, 05:49 PM

TOO much food????

dang woman I used to plug in 3000+ each day EASY!! you can get in 1700. come on now. go back over that sample menu I suggested-lots of good carbs and calories in there.

I love Bananas!!!

especially with nut butter spread on it!

Cate · 04-13-2004, 06:13 PM

Sara -I thought the same thing when I started this. But, before you know it, your body will be

for more food. My workouts have been better and I'm hungry all the time!

Just eat higher cal foods....or add milk to your shakes???

sara · 04-13-2004, 10:04 PM

My workout is better.. I did a morning class full body workout.. with low weight.. and Tonight I did 20 minutes high incline cardio.. I feel great

sara · 04-13-2004, 10:05 PM

AJ, Cate- I know I will be eating 1700 cals soon.. my body has to get used to it, I can't just jump from very low cals, low carbs one day, to the high carbs, high cals the next day.. I'm doing my best to reach the 1600-1700 cals

PreMier · 04-13-2004, 10:06 PM

His Sara! Good to hear you are feeling so well

I bet your body's really going to do well with this program-Im sure it will be a "shock", and you will be rather pleased with the results as long as you stick to the plan.

PreMier · 04-13-2004, 10:28 PM

Thanks Sara. Its hard to stay completely positive when the world around you is so f**ked up!

sara · 04-13-2004, 10:30 PM

PreMier- I know exactly how you feel.. been through the same thing.. Just try to stick with the little simple things that make you feel better, happy.. and all of the sudden the stress will just be gone
