At 6:30 am I worried I'd be too hungry during exercise class, so I ate 0.5 oz brazil nuts even though I wasn't hungry. I'm not sure that is the best thing to eat before exercise class. An easier to digest fruit would probably be better, like kiwi. Anyway, then afterwards when I got home at 9:30, brekky was my usual morning smoothie.
Then I needed to prepare a lunch quickly for the road. I thought about salad but thought it would take too long to make dressing. So I made a mango-spinach smoothie. I thought, that's not going to be enough so I just started nibbling on things, berries, carrots and celery. Then I forgot to bring my lunch with me! which made me glad I nibbled.
I got home at 4 pm and was hungry and ate my smoothie and then just kind of continued and I guess it became a long dinner. I made a salad with an apple-sweet potato dressing, peas, red bell pepper. I ate more peas, and then 2 bananas. I finished off the berries from yesterday (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries--yummy). Ate 0.5 oz brazil nuts (thankfully that did not lead to more). And then I made some cherry ice cream---a bag of frozen cherries, a banana, and some juice blended up. I ate the whole thing (it was good). By now it was about 6:30 pm and I stopped. I was overly full but not uncomfortably so, fortunately.
I'm sure I ate more calories than I needed but at least I stopped at some point. And I ate more fruit than is normal. I was discussing overeating with someone on the fuhrman forums and he asked me, "what are you thinking when you do that?" and I thought that was a really good question. I'm not sure what the answer is. I'm not sure I'm thinking at all. I just want to eat and I tend to shut down my thinking.
I've been thinking of trying to have 1 serving of grains a day. I think I'd like another calorie source that isn't fruit and nuts. Starchy veggies (sweet potatoes, potatoes, beets) are good for that too.
