I thought maintenance (1750) would be easier than cutting (1250), but for me it hasn't been! Now that I have more room for carbs, I crave them constantly, and I have a history of BED so I have to fight with myself to keep tracking even if I snuck a cookie from my partner's stash (he's bulking, so he gets ALL the carbs). Making a sandwich is harder than just drinking a protein shake, but it is a lot more balanced and the extra healthy fats will absolutely help cull my cravings during the day, so I'm posting my small win here for you guys 🎖
Bagel sandwich:
– L'Oven Bagel Skinnys from Aldi (1 bagel)
