So, I think running has slowly produced a hallow abyss that is now known as my stomach. My appetite lately has been completely insatiable and I can't ever feel full!! I imagine with all the miles that I'm logging in, that I'm burning a lot of energy and calories and, of course, that's why I'm always hungry.
But seriously. I went on an avocado binge earlier this week. AVOCADOS. That is NOT normal.
I went to the grocery store thinking that these avo's would be a delicious addition to my turkey sandwiches with havarti cheese and dijon. Nope, I just decided to eat them whole (I took the pit out, though).
Today, I've eaten 4 tangerines, 2 bananas, about 3 cups of pasta with sauce, 1/4 cup of steak, about a cup EACH of steamed carrots, zuchinni, and yellow squash, a slice of havarti cheese, a bag of popcorn, a nutrigrain bar... and I'm always looking for something else to eat!!
Anyway, my main staple right now is pasta and steamed veggies, but I'm thinking I need to add some variety into my diet. I'm not huge on cooking, so I'm always looking for quick meals that I can do at home. So this entry today is mainly a request to any athlete out there for simple ideas for quick meals!
I'm looking for cheap, healthy, energy filled ideas. ANY SUGGESTIONS? WHAT GIVES YOU TONS OF ENERGY?? I need to go grocery shopping again soon too...
I know something that will give you more energy and I'll give you a hint, it's not me...
ReplyDeleteGo ahead...guess
Just fill up on those carbs girl. I eat differently but some quick meals I eat are oatmeal or cream of wheat for breakfast, pastas, potatos, or rice for carbs. Plus you can cook them up a million different ways.
ReplyDelete1) Cous-cous with olives, sun dried tomatoes, kale and goat cheese! Super quick and easy....
ReplyDelete2) Carrot and ginger juice--fresh squeezed from the juicer.
You amaze me! Keep it up....
