I just ate a whole hedgehog slice

after a week of not being able to eat properly - averaging around 600 calories a day.

someone bought me a hedgehog slice and i ate the whole thing.... it was SOOOO good, six fingers of pure heaven. considering it is all i have eaten today apart from a cup-a-soup i'm not going to stress too much about it. i just can't follow it up with the packet of CC's im now craving......

whats a hedgehog slice...? like real hedgehog??

lol.... no it's like a really yummy chocolate brownie.

oh phew! ok, that sounds a lot nicer!

Yup! That's what happens when you overrestrict. Now just to add insult to injury, consider for a moment what that week of fasting did to your metabolism. If you'd been eating 1800 calories a day and esercising, that hedgehog would be hardly a hiccup. Instead, your body is socking away every single one of those calories and turning it into fat reserve because it thinks it's starving. 

What the above poster said ^ You are basically destroying your metabolism. I would slowly start to raise your calorie intake to at least 1200 (more if you're active.) Your body is in starvation mode and will hang on to every thing you put into it. If you are active and eating more of the right foods your body becomes a fat burning machine.

What exactly do you mean by this?  Have you been ill?  Have you had no appetite, or what?  Obviously, you know 600 calories per day is NOT healthy or normal, but what has caused this?

I don't know the details on your week's worth of over-restriction, but if it is due to lack of appetite and has gone on this long, you should see your doctor about it.

Ok, Now I have this vision of you smiling big, showing a mouth full of quills.  But it should be about all protien and they are self flossing!!!!

OK I LOVE hedgehogs. Havent had one in months! I miss the chocolate goodness LOL.   Why were you averaging 600 calories a day? Were you sick?

i was not able to keep food down due to new medication. OBVIOUSLY i normally eat more then 600 calories a day!

I am now very happy to report that my appetite is now back to normal and i am able to keep down my food. back to a healthy 1200-1300 cals per day.

thanks for your insightfullness ourladyofthehighways  

 

just get back on the wagon... chalk it up to the low cals and it sounds like something I could have eaten two slices of...

and

 it's better than a REAL hedgehog at least -

{{in searching the CC food logs- i could NOT find actual numbers for a REAL hedgehog animal... anyone?  how many fat/carb/protein KCals are in one 6 finger slice of a REAL hedgehog?}} {{Is it something I should incorporate into my diet???}}
