Decided to experiment with OMAD today and tomorrow and see how it feels to pack my daily cal into goal/limit into a single midday meal. Today I made up a dish with 8oz 80/20 hamburger seasoned with garlic and red chili powder, 1/4 head cabbage (shredded) mixed with rice vinegar and black pepper , 1 avocado, 2 cups baby spinach, 3 eggs fried in the fat left over after cooking the hamburger. This, if my calculations are right, comes out to somewhere around 1200 cals.
1st observation is after two these last to months of having meals in the 300-500 cal range was… “damn, this is a <bleep> ton of food!”. Before, I wouldn’t have blinked at consuming a meal that large, but now… felt like it was too much.
2nd observation is after the meal, I had a serious attack of the naps as if I had gobbled down a large pizza on my own. I had I lot I needed to get done today (computer/desk work) and couldn’t stop dozing off, finally giving up and laying down for what turned out to be a 5 hour nap. So after a totally wasted day I’m wondering if something is the mix or the amount consumed that triggered the naps. Or was it simply my normal day in day out sleep deficit catching up with me. Between the avocado and the cabbage I ate more in carbs (around 20 net) then has been my daily norm.
Other than that, no hunger feelings almost 12 hours later so that is going well. My son and I are going to have lunch tomorrow (my one meal) with my mother and I have my meal planned there. Should be in the 1250 cal range with net carbs coming in between 8-9g. Although hamburger still is the main part of the meal, I’ll see if the slightly different food mix makes a difference in how I feel afterward.
Just all more data points and information to inform the continued work and efforts to get myself to where I want to be.
I hope everyone has has a good Saturing evening!
