Now that I am embracing logging and using my data, I'm learning a lot about my body. I'm learning that on strength training days I need more calories. On days when I walk or dance I don't need as many. On days when I do neither, I need even fewer. It seems something like this: non-exercise days 1,100-1,300, Cardio days: 1,300-1,500, strength training days: 1,700-1,900. All of these result in loss without going hungry. I wasn't going to eat after dinner tonight, but an hour and a half after dinner, I was really hungry so I drank a large glass of water and waited, still hungry. So I ate another 200 calories. I'm not full, but I'm not hungry either. It was a lifting day and i had only eaten about 1,400 calories, which wasn't enough. It's rare for me to eat after dinner. I'm just not a night snacker, but I was truly hungry. I really see the value in not labeling eating bad or good, especially with actual hunger. I'm doing so much better at listening to my body. I guess a sort of old dog can learn a new trick after all!
