I came in from the back porch at one in the afternoon feeling hungry in a way I usually don't. Stomach growling. I'd walked the pups a bit over a mile this morning, then did some yard work in the sun. Frequent breaks and plenty of cool water.
I ran through scenarios in my mind, like maybe eating a steak and some grilled veggies in addition to the plan for day. I decided to get in the shower and think about it while cleaning up. While in the shower, I told myself I was going to eat my usual lunch first and then, only after doing 20 minutes of mindfulness meditation, take the step of thawing out some meat to cook.
Ultimately, I decided to see what the values would be like for the day with increased quantities of my usual lunch of apples and peanut butter -- I plugged in 300, then 346 g of apples and 80 g of peanut butter instead of 190 g and 50 g, respectively, that I normally eat. I was pleased to see this modification kept my daily intake today under 2500 calories. Looking at the food on the plate, it looks (feels?) like enough.
I am feeling good. My interoception tell me I am in catabolosis right now. That's right where I want to be.
