Chocolate!!!



I can't stop eating the raw cacao! OMG it is amazing. And it's got lots of magnesium and fiber ;-)

Just a quick post today b/c I'm wiped out from work. Tomorrow's going to be completely insane, too, so I need to relax for a little while! I am still very very hungry almost all the time... Food today:

-green smoothie w/ 2 bananas, frozen mango, strawberries & blueberries, kale. I am really starting to crave these and love the taste of them even more than I already did. Also 3 more bananas w/ raw crack...I mean cacao...powder
-banana
-2 bananas, Lara bar, 2 clementines
-apple, 2 bananas- 1 w/ raw cacao powder
*ran a mile to warm up & lifted upper body weights*
-handful of baby carrots, big salad w/ the usual veggies (no avocado)
-banana w/ raw cacao, apple

That's just under 1800 calories and about 10% fat. Not bad! I think I get so hungry b/c I don't generally eat enough when I'm eating raw. I log my activities on Fitday on a regular basis- including work, workouts & sleep- and I burn an average of 2300 calories per day. Last time I was eating raw I was sitting on my butt all day and only moving during workouts, so eating very little was not a big deal. This time my lifestyle/job is very active and when I don't eat enough it really effects my mood and how fast I can do my work. I just need to listen to my body and keep reaching for the fruit!
