That works for me when I’m in race season. This time of year that’s hard for me. I get somewhat motivated knowing I want to come out swinging hard but then I have a bad day and it all goes in the crapper.

Do you mean the snacks or the little pieces of chocolate that taste like chemicals?

Regular M&M's... sharing size.... did not share, and no trainer ride
We have it worse. We use the family size bag for potty training treats for my daughter. I go in for full handfuls when needed.
a little square in individual wrappers. everything tastes better after a few days of 700 calories, and a few of next to zero.
i have the vanilla snacks - taste a little chalky, but ok.....

I made an agreement with myself if I need the chemical snacks I’m ok with 1 square of Hershey’s dark chocolate. I have the chocolate snacks sometimes which are decent. I think it’s really just compressed shake powder.
Yes I’m at 720 calories for the day plus a 1:35 workout. I want to eat an entire pizza now but I’m gonna make it. Day 2 tomorrow. And no...I’m not doing that full on cleanse liquid BS. No thanks. I plan on going back to clean diet after this with little cheats to keep me sane and see where that gets me. I really just think if I can get to warmer weather and get my riding schedule in full swing, that will be the biggest benefit. Eating clean now can’t hurt though.
One rectangle of a Hershey’s bar? Lordy, more power to you!

Yes believe it or not. It is the giant size bar so that’s a little better. It’s usually half a bar though in non race mode times.

Maybe... I can eat just one Pringle too.
Craziness. I guess I just have no willpower

Nah I'm not a big chip fan. Chocolate though....mmmm.
Bring me a large Hershey bar next time we ride and you can watch me eat the whole thing.

That could be interesting… I need to find one of those mega 2 pound bars.

Breakfast and lunch today. Doesn’t that look mouth wateringly good!!! Bleh...
I should add that I'm trying to adjust my breakfast time today to 8:00 instead of 6:00 to see how that works. I was HUNGRY when I woke up and just had my shake a little while ago. It has kept the hunger down but not sure how long that will last. I'm going to try to finish out the day with just these shakes and then get back to solid clean food tomorrow. I can't wait to chew something...
