It's been about two weeks since I started to really throw myself into my fitness and diet. Basically I'm sitting at about 2 hrs give or take each day of pretty intense workouts - gym, running, swimming, sports, hobbies etc on top of the mental stimulation that is a hard medical related degree and trying to incorporate more coincedental exercise rather than drive to work or take the elevators etc.
The thing though I've found after logging my diet is that my snacking has increased and my portions have too. When I've come home from a long day or having a break between study or workout sessions, I'll mindlessly pop by the kitchen to snack on something. Meal time comes and I get it into my head to have a bit more salad etc talking myself into the fact I think I am eating right.
Well it is obviously not as I've bumped up a couple kilos last few weeks when I noticed this all happening.
Whats anyone's tips on this situation? Obviously I am trying to go into a calorie deficiency so as to cut but I am struggling really hard - especially after basically a decade and a half of bad eating and not much rigorous exercise. Tips on how to better manage my eating will be greatly appreciated!
