I did a weigh in just for kicks tonight and I hit 226.2. Not too bad considering I had 2 huge waters, and a real large meal. I made up a type of chicken salad using salsa instead of mayo. I can easily account for the weight in the food I ate alone. I have been trying to pick my calories up just a smidge. As much as I try to stay on target, I think I let myself slide down in calories a bit. This morning I started to feel dizzy and weak every time I got up. Since I should not be deficient on vitamins, I am assuming I went low on calories.
I strived to eat a larger breakfast, lunch, supper and snacks today. I feel really full right now. I think I will feel a lot better tomorrow. It is a great lesson that sometimes it is easy to under eat. Under eating is every bit as bad as over eating. If I under eat too much, my metabolism will fall and my body will start storing energy instead of burning it.
Here is my chicken salad sandwich in case anyone wants to give it a go.
Chicken Salad sans Mayo
2 slices Whole Grain Bread
1 Chicken breast
1 Stalk Celery
1/4 cup Salsa
Diced Onions
1 tsp Mustard
I would give great directions...but lets face it....this is a sandwich. If you can't make a sandwich yet then my directions surely won't help. My advise would be to SEEK MEDICAL HELP IMMEDIATELY!
So give it a try. i found it very tasty. I am really trying to find recipes that use other ingredients than the basic stuff that I use, but the simple fact is that I enjoy having all the veggies that I get every day. I enjoy eating salsa with everything. I wind up making at least 2 meals that have nothing but 100% vegetables and maybe 1 meal that contains real meat protein.
That's about it for tonight. I have an early work day tomorrow. Once again, if you have any recipe ideas, please send them in a comment so I can try them out and post them.
Cheers.
How much water do you drink? Dehidration can also cause dizziness. If you normaly drink alot of water, your body holds on to less water and flushes it through rather quickly. So if you drink alot of water the day before, and for some reason forget to drink anything when you wake up you could easily just be dehidrated. Just mention this because it happened to me a couple times and a litre of water made it go away. Something to consider if it happens again and your calories are on target.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying that sandwich next time I cook up some chicken, that sounds so simple, but so good. Gotta love salsa!
I have been very bad drinking actual water. Its just one of those things that I always forget. I started taking a bottle to work with me and I try to remember to drink it. I will work on taking in more water to see it that helps. Thanks Chris!
