I know NHE does not advocate counting calories, and I'm pretty much not. But I had my first carb up last night. I find that when I eat protein and fat and non-starchy veggies I get full on a small amount of food. When it comes ot eating carby stuff I'm a bottomless pit. I ate pasta, sweet potato, fat free waffles and some jelly bellies. I did add about 1 tbsp butter amongst the things to help keep me full. But I know I consumed a very large amount of calories. Obviously I want to keep this more in check in the future, but should this be a big issue? I know he says there is no limit to the # of carbs...I'm assuming that if you're eating something fat free and almost protein free this means unlimited calories? Either way, I'm happy to be LC again today!
