Re: Re: calorie count/evening munchies

[Guest guest]

I have another theory for myself. I find no matter how much I eat (or what

I eat) most of the time I am hungry about 3 hours later. My conclusion: I

metabolize food quickly and digest quickly. This would be in keeping with

my mostly thin frame almost (but not exculsively) my entire life. My

solution is to eat 5 or 6 small meals and snacks a day.

: what the heck is " Veggie Booty " ?
