HK,
You’re right. The pumpkin should be lower. Maybe I logged it as 1 cup of pumpkin? No idea.

And I have a 3 oz vacuum packet of tuna when I made tuna salad.

hi kath,
I’ve got a question about the pumpkin “pie” recipe you posted…how do you add yours up to be 105 calories if 1/2 a cup of pumpkin puree is 40 cal. and a little less than 1/4 cup of egg whites is ~25 cal? Am I missing something??
thanks!

Danielle,

I think the recommendation is that if you are full, you should listen to your body and not continue to eat. Perhaps you could just save some of your lunch and eat the rest later in the afternoon? I have definitely done that before. Often if I get a really voluminous food like a broth soup I will be hungry sooner despite being full. I just have a snack an hour later or whenever I get hungry.

My gosh Kath, that’s a lot of food! It’s obviously super healthy and I’m sure it tastes delicious but I know, in my case, about half of that would sufficiently fill me up. That’s where my question comes in… Even if I have eaten less calories or less of a certain food group than planned and am full, should I continue to eat? If not do you think I’d be starving soon after? Thanks!
