Hmmm Mary, I HONESTLY can't tell you for sure, BUT I would think that a small healthy meal after one of them would be the safe bet. Losing wieght is great....I feel fantastic with my working out and all, but its not worth it if it hurts your health. I mean we wanna look good (I know I do!) but its about being healthy to live a good long life, right? If you are working out at all, I would def say a meal. I was talking to the sponsor of my son's t-ball team who owns the local "Curves" gym, amd she said that you don't wanna over eat but if you don't eat enough, and exercise, you kill your metabolisim. A hint that she also shared with me that I would like to pass on to everyone on here (some probably already do this), is not just taking smaller bites, but chewing EVERYTHING to applesauce consistancy (even stake). That makes your body more saisfied with it....she explained all the technical reason as to why, but I'd be lying if I pretended to remember them!All I know is that when I do that with a meal it helps me to eat less. Like, I ate a grilled chicken taco last week and wolfed it down and wallowed in my misery as I watched my husband eat his other 2. BUT tonight, I had a grilled chicken taco and enjoyed and chewed well and was MUCH more satisfied. Infact my husband had gotten 2 for me and I didn't even eat the other because I didn't feel like I was starving. Whereas last week I would have inhaled 2 more probably!
Anyway Mary, sorry if I got off track, but thats my opinion. Others may differ, but I thought I would offer up mine. Best of luck!
