sweet cravings, after eating???

[WoNderWoMan25]

If I do.. Not much now with all the supps I take! I make sure I always have sugarfree strawberry jelly! Put a few strawberries in there whole or cut in half.. BAM!! I'm cured..

I do the same thing - Or a few frozen grapes - Or sugerless gum.

I've been using fitday for months, thats how i know I'm either dead on or go over... more so going over. I'm just going to have to suck it up.

maybe it could be a vitamin defficency? chocolate= iron? minerals?

since you are using fitday - it is easy to check your micro levels on the vitamins and minerals as I suggested earlier to ensure that you don't need to supplement those.


How many cals per day are you eatng and what are the macro splits??


Since you are tracking - just post up a sample day

Sugar free Hot chocolate, splenda and cinammon mixed in frozen natural PB, Frozen yogurt, sugar free jell-o and you can add light whip cream on top or beat up egg whites with splenda into a meringue and top it on fruit or SF jell-o, or SF pudding. At least u can get some added protein with it. Or Freeze the individual SF pudding or SF jell-o containers.. takes longer to eat when they are frozen. Or dip fruit like a banana in SF pudding and you can sprinkle chopped nuts or coconut on top and freeze it.
I have found freezing anything takes longer to eat and usually I will eat less of it and it curbs the appetite. Try freezing whip cream.. that's good also. Mix in baking cocoa powder into the whip cream before u freeze it.... O.k. that's all I can think of right now.

Only after sushi -- not sure why but I always crave ice cream and lots of it.

this is three days... WAY all over the board... I pick the three worst days I could find, because it seems to be pretty consistant lately. I'm not trying to get all shredded, if anything I'd like to put on a few pounds of muscle. I have been eating this was since I stopped competing, seasons over for me.
I'd just like these craving to stop..... but anyway my cals naturally dropped since I don't require so much fuel. I was up to 3000+ per day. so whatever you can see great... nothing, great too. I'll figure it out eventually.

Egg white: 272 29 2 22

I assume that means:

272 cals

29 fat
2 carbs
22 protein



If so - then something is drastically wrong.......egg whites contain ZERO fat

Apple, raw 125 1 32 0


First number = cals

2nd number - fat grams
3rd number - carb grams
4th number - protein grams


check on the serving sizes you are entering into the fitday matrix......those numbers are correct on some of the foods you have listed - like the egg whites
