Pencil Thin

At this stage in my diet and exercise program I am trying to find a balance that keeps my weight under control. Part of what I have been doing is trying to determine which foods cause my body to gain weight and those that do not. What I hadn’t planned for is determining how much I need to eat to balance out the calories I am burning exercising. I recently determined that the morning after I hit the fitness equipment really hard I will incur a slight spike in my weight. I then found out that I needed to eat more to prevent my body from hanging onto weight. Once I raised the amount of protein I was eating each day my weight balanced out. It is funny when you are used to watching calories very closely to find out that you actually have to eat more food to loose weight or maintain. I am hoping that everything is now stable and I can just consider this my new eating plan for life.
