Changes for next week: I had a couple days with weird eating times, but it didn't seem to have any negative effect. In fact, I experienced something entirely new: hunger! For quite awhile, when I ate was impacted primarily by my blood sugar. If I felt my blood sugar drop, I ate. But my levels are finally stable enough that I can go long enough to actually get the tummy rumbles. I was very excited about this. :)

Also, my macronutrient numbers continue to fall into the 25-45-30 range. I think I'm going to just go with this for now unless it seems something needs tweaked.

Zigzagging calories did not work. My body just seems totally comfortable in the 1,300 range. (Although I suspect that with allowing for miscalculations, it's probably closer to 1,500). I honestly cannot imagine trying to eat more. I'm full and satisfied with this amount, so I'm not going to try to fix it unless it becomes apparent that I need to.

Dinner Saturday night was a huge splurge. The numbers were definitely too high for one meal, but I still stayed on target for the day. I'm not going to fret about it.
