Dinner

Asian veggie burger bowl.  All but 4 bites came home with me.

Today's Strategy: Eat Breakfast Like a King and Dinner Like a Pauper

Yesterday I ate lightly at the beginning and finished the day by eating, in 3 hours, more calories than I had in the first 8 hours.  I woke this morning with NO hunger and am still feeling too stuffed to try my usual fiber and vitamin waker-upper. 

Reverse strategy today:  More protein and calories in the AM vs the PM.

5am:  Coffee
7:30: Lightly hungry.  Steak and pasta:  350 Kcal, 18 protein
8:30:  8 oz water
9:30:  8 oz water
10:45:  Hungry.  Fiber and vitamin drink:  140 Kcal
11:30 8 oz water
1:30:  Hungry.  Steak, artichoke and cottage cheese:  375 Kcal, 25 protein
3:30:  Snacky.  Almond Roca 140 Kcal.
5:30:  Dinner out. Not hungry.  French fries, red wine, salad:  300 Kcal, 3 protein

Kcal:  1305; protein:  46

7:30:  Not hungry.  Vitamins and fiber drink.  140 Kcal, 0 protein.  8 oz water.  Full.
8:30:  Coffee;  8 oz water.
9:30:  Hungry.  1/2 Artichoke w/lemon & olive oil; Cottage cheese:  295 Kcal, 25 protein.  Full.  Artichoke  feels a little "twisty and turny", but not stuck.

1:30:  Very hungry. Pasta with chicken:  175 Kcals, 10 protein.
1:30:  Small piece of soft pretzel:  50 Kcals.  0 protein.  (Bad idea.  I probably irritated things a bit by challenging my pouch with such a soft, bready bite.  By the second bite, I knew  I shouldn't have had it and greived the loss of not being able to eat any more pretzel.)
2:30:  8 oz water
3:30  Feeling snacky, but not hungry.  Coffee and pumpkin seesds.  285 Kcal, 12 protein
5:30  Almond roca:  70 Kcal

Feeling at the end of the day:  Overfed and overfull.
