Sometimes when we crave things, we tend to eat a HUGE amount of that thing. Which is understandable, if you deprived yourself of it long enough! The problem for me, though, is that I am constantly craving different foods, even though I rarely deprive myself of anything. That's probably the main reason I eat 6-7 smaller meals a day; not because it's believed to be healthier, but because I just simply love food.
This week, my co-worker kept talking about bagels, so naturally I wanted to chomp on a dense bagel smothered with cream cheese. So I did just that- but changed it up a little. I balanced out my 4th meal with half a whole grain bagel, nice dose of cottage cheese, almond butter, some fruit and veggies. The results? Completely satisfied.
