I have been finding the weekends a lot tougher to get in my 5-6 meals and space them out. On a day like today, I was barely home, up at 6am, off to do some work at 715am, had a nice breakfast, but then didn't get home till 3pm. I should have thrown some food in my truck, but I didn't. My morning meals have been great, nice and easy. I am finding that the lunches and dinners are always a challenge especially when you go eat out at a restaurant. Today I had all my meals at home, but that didn't stop me from ordering out. I had a craving that I just couldn't resist. Donair and Pizza. I thought about it before I ordered and I said to myself. If I am going to order this stuff, I am not going to eat it all at once. I will space it out into 2 or 3 meal portions and work off the calories Sunday with a walk or something. So I went ahead and ordered a small bacon pizza and a large donair. I ended up eating half of the beef donair, and a big slice of my small pizza. A little trick I did which I thought would be good, was I drank 2 big glasses of water before my food got here and ate a nice big bowl of mixed greens with apple and organges pieces in the salad. I think that helped, cause once I started eating my take out food, I was full fast and barely at the slice of pizza. This was around 6pm. Then around 930 pm, before I headed out, I had another 2 small pieces of pizza, very small I might add. Then I finished off the other half of my donair when I got home at 1am and the last slice of pizza the next morning.

so here we go

Todays meals consist of:

630 am
2 eggs - 150 cal
2 toast - 180 cal
orange - 80 cal

10am
protein bar - 300 cal
yogurt - 35 cal

130pm
2 chicken breast - 400 calories
apple - 80 cal
granola bar - 100 cal

6pm
beef donair - not sure of calories, if i had to guess, 400 cal
small slice of pizza - guessing 300 cal

930
2 small slice of pizza - guessing about 600 cal

130pm
other half of beef donair - 400 cal

Todays choices were obviously not the greatest, but I didn't go to bed feeling bloated and full. I think that spacing my take out food over 3 meals, really helped a lot. It helped me combat my craving and kept my metabollism going well.
