To Eat or Not to Eat ????

[johnacc]

Hi All,

I have a question. I went for a 5 mile run on my lunch hour today but forgot to pack any food for the afternoon.

By 3:30pm I was starving and the only food available was a chocolate bar (candy bar) from the snacks machine.

Did I do the right thing by eating this as opposed to not eating and slowing down my metabolism ?

If that really was your only option, then yes, it's better to eat SOMETHING than absolutely NOTHING for an extended time.

ROCK HARD how much (or how many calories) do we have to eat to "not slow down" our metabolisme?
