When you care for pregnant women for a living. I mean, somebody has to model "small frequent meals" for them, right? Oh, the sacrifices I make...:rolleyes:
Ahh... but you have to ride that 1 mile to get backup... up hill ;) :)Quote:

* calories don't count at any TE gal dinner/after ride drink (uhm, meal) :D
I couldn't resist. I just had to add it to the list.
The calories don't count when it is to solve a grammar or spelling question.
Anybody get my favorite - if you eat half.
If you eat 1/2 of a cookie, you can subtract the calories in the 1/2 not eaten from the half you eat and come out with 0.
The math works, it really does.
I generally don't count calories, but always have an excuse for eating stuff that probably has a lot of them :rolleyes: ....
ice cream - my main source of calcium
chocolate - full of antioxidants, good for preventing heart disease and osteoporosis and a few other things and if it's milk chocolate that means more calcium
chips/crisps - I sweat just going up stairs so I'm sure I need more salt in my diet.
apple pie - part of the 5 fruits a day...and an apple a day keeps the doctor away or so they say...make it a-la-mode and you've covered the dairy category too.
When my pre-school daughter discovered that Big Sister was learning subtraction and division, she had to learn these neat things too. Wanting to make things easier for her, I pulled out the chocolate chips & showed her all about division and subtraction. (we grouped 3's and 5's for division & then subtracted into our mouths)
When you are teaching math to your far-too-smart-for-her-own-good preschool daughter the chocolate chips consumed in the process have no calories.
Ditto on the ice cream and chocolate. I use those excuses too often. I used the sweating excuse for eating copious amounts of fritos and blackbean and corn salsa last weekend after a ride in 85F heat and about 90% humidity. Oh, they were good.Quote:

The caramel prevents your blood sugar from dropping too low as a result of exertion.
