ABC day 3: 300

Just a quick post because Ive got a midterm today.  Ill probably come back later in the evening to update.

Plan for today:
[x]Breakfast: 1/4 orange slice ~25
[x]Snack: 1/4 orange slice ~25
[x]Lunch: 1/4 orange slice ~25
[x]Snack: 1/4 orange slice ~25
[x]Dinner: 8 oz wheat noodle soup ~150
[]Snack: 1/4 orange slice ~25 not hungry :)

Total~275 250

Update (7:10pm): Today was a nice day.  I had my third midterm of the week, so once I finished it I was soo relieved.  Now I still have a bunch of homework to do, but it's not nearly as stressful to me yay.

Anyway, I LOVE lists/schedules/plans/organization.  I've always known this--I write down everything I have planned for the day, everyday.  I also keep lists of things I need to do/need to buy/pick up, etc.  In the past I've tried keeping a food journal of everything I ate.  It did not help at all, I think because I would eat things and note the amount of calories after I ate it instead of planning ahead.  Then later in the day I would run out of calories but be super hungry=binge.  

But this planning out my meals thing I've been doing? AMAZING.  I stick to it and I'm never hungry.  I never have to worry about calories because I know I've already done all the calculations.  And as long as I split my calories up in to 3 "meals" and ~3 snacks, I never worry about binging because I know that if I'm hungry now all I have to do is wait an hour or two until my next snack/meal.  Eating ~6 times a day (regardless of how many calories you are actually eating) is much more satisfying, even if I'm splitting a whole orange into 4 different meals/snacks.  Just a thought!
