SAVED BY PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE

Got home from work today STARVING, as I'd only eaten the sushi from the cafe in the library for lunch. Made a large salad, ate that, still hungry, ate a tangerine, still hungry, ate the rest of th3 cucumber I had, STILL HUNGRY. Then realized that fat slows down digestion, so had three of the teeny tiny mini Reese's peanut butter cups*.

Result: no longer hungry. XD

After I put my calories for the day into Calorie King, I realized that of COURSE I was hungry ... before I put in the peanut butter cups, my fat intake for the day was only 6% of my total calories. Significantly lower than usual! No wonder I was starving. Anyway, just waiting for [livejournal.com profile] myrialux's parents to arrive, then we go out for dinner.





* These aren't the usual minis, but some REALLY mini ones! Takes 11 to make 200 calories! 3 is only 50.
