i guess this might be for mostly non-ops, but jus wondering what everyone does or snanks on when the cravings hit you? today i had it real bad, tried all day to talk myself into an out of getting something , went as far as going to papajohns website and aborted that quickly and went walkin and came back home and had a small red tater with a couple tablespoons of leftover beans and a teaspoon of lite sour cream a few spinach leaves and 4 baby bella mushrooms, and an hour later trying to talk myself into somethin else but went walking and survived, with 670 calories for the day.

JJ honey listen....... Im gonna tell you again......... you have to take in more calories than you are. Your gonna be wiped out aka tired etc if you dont. Im not saying that trip to pappa johns would have been a good idea but your body is telling you its hungry. Pizza is not bad for you. Most of the toppings are good for you,. I eat pizza on a thin crust because I cant tolerate the bread very well. Most of the time I just eat the toppings but I do try to eat a couple bites of the crust.

Get you some pizza dough and roll it out thin and then top it with good stuff and bake you one up next time. I hope Doc sees this post and more than likely she will and shed some light on this.

If you get cravings and are scared of upping your cals (which should be a bit higher, actually, as MsVickie says), then munch on some veggies--tomatoes, cucmbers, carrots etc--they give you a lot of crunch, and are rich in vitamins which ae good for you. Getting in some protein along with these--chicken breast, cheese, even peanut butter--should help further with cravings.
