I really must try some of that hemp milk–it’s just so expensive!

i just realized the bread I have been eating has splenda in it [yuck] and that is probably why I have been hungrier after eating it! your explanation makes sense.

I was just wondering if you knew how many calories wheatberries are?

I like the article about savory breakfasts….I’ve never been a fan of traditional breakfasts (until I discovered blogger style bowls of oats.) I’m thinking of having a salad for breakfast tomorrow but I’m afraid my roommate with judge me.

@SmA033: I think you should do what best works for you. As I mentioned in my post, if you have a longer workout, you should refuel with a healthy mix of carbs and protein once you finish.

ok i have a question– i’m a little confused by this. I usually workout during my lunch hour (anywhere from 1 hr-1hr 30 min) i usually burn anywhere from 500-600 cal. in my workouts & then i have my lunch afterwards, which usually consists of abt 300 calories. i spread out my snacks thru out the rest of the day like an apple, and some yogurt later on. But, should i not be eating my lunch after my workouts??

I do mostly agree with the no-need-for-a-snack-under-45-minutes idea. Last semester, I started drinking protein drinks after workouts, mostly because my boyfriend would always have one. I found that I really don’t need that much protein or refueling after any workout that is under an hour, unless I run or spin. Running and spinning seem to burn a heck of a lot more energy than other exercises. Now, instead of having a snack, I just look forward to breakfast/lunch/dinner more!! (:

Great job this morning on your workout. I feel like that EVERY morning, which is why I never actually accomplish my morning workout goals. Reading that it happens to you once in a while (and that you break through it) is great motivation for me.

Thanks for posting all of those links… I’m looking forward to reading the calorie consumption/reward one…
