Well.. Lazy is as Lazy does

Today was a shopping day. I'm incredibly broke, as most Americans now a days are, but I'm very skinned when it comes to money. So i took the bit of scrapings i could, and went food shopping. Got some couscous, cucumbers, peppers, some veggies that i didn't get in my food basket from Flagler Organics and some Kellogs Special K cereal. They were buy one, get one, so i stocked up a little bit! I also got all the stuff my roommate needed for some chili. This is my second dose of red meat for the month, so my body is good. I rarely eat red meat, usually about once a month to get my iron jolted back up there.
Had a great weekend... but then i get to today. Starving for breakfast, with an empty house (I went shopping this afternoon)... and just had some fruit.. So what happened? I wasn't hungry until almost this evening. I made myself eat 2 tomato basil & turkey sausages with brown rice and black beans..
I have a problem with eating.
Do i eat too much? HAH no.

I actually under eat, chronically. i've been trying to remind myself to eat more... to no avail.
So .. is it OK to skip a meal then?
The answer seems to be a RESOUNDING no!! Especially breakfast!!

This is from Jillianmichaels.com:

Q: I'm trying to learn to listen to my body and eat only when I am hungry, and sometimes I just don't really want anything to eat. Is it okay to skip meals or to eat fewer than the recommended calories?

A:  You should NOT skip meals. There are so many adverse effects to skipping meals. Not only does it slow your metabolism but it can also lead to overeating, because when you do eat, you're overly hungry.
As for cutting your calories below your recommended allowance, remember this golden rule: Never allow your daily calorie allowance to fall below 1,200 if you are a woman and 1,500 if you are a man. Falling below these daily allowances can do real damage to your metabolism and result in excessive loss of lean muscle tissue. When you dramatically reduce your calories on a consistent basis, it can slow your metabolism or trigger a plateau. Consistent exercise — plus the occasional high-calorie day — will help ward off a plateau.

SO the moral of the story? Eat.
3 square meals a day, and at least 2 snacks...
Smoothies with protein helps wonderfully if you're just not into having real food.
Fruit, greens, and superfoods combined together make DELISH smoothies! I Love green smoothies, so long as there is no chard or kale in it. It just tastes way too bitter for my own palette. Hrm.. Maybe i'll post a smoothie recipe tomorrow!
