Not a bottomless pit

theyellowhobbitNormally when I eat a meal I will eat and be full, and that's the end of it. Sometimes I will squeeze in a dessert. Or snack beforehand. But generally it's eat and be full.
This week I've been eating a lot of healthy foods. This has mostly to do with the fact that I've moved into a house where we have a ton of produce, and generally healthy cooking going on in our co-op of foodness. And we avoid cooking with gluten. So I'm no longer just living off of pasta and cheese.
But still. These foods do have calories to some extent. And I even had meat last night! 2 burgers! And yet when I came home from the barbeque I was still hungry.
It might also have to do with the sudden increase in the exercise I'm getting, seeing as it takes 15-20 minutes to bike to campus. More if I take a detour.
But today there's been no exercise yet. And you'd think a bowl of quinoa with cheese would fill me up. And 2 apples. And some of the sushi I made with MZ a few days ago. I'm getting to the point where I might actually resort to eating chocolate to fill me up. Usually I just eat chocolate for the sake of eating it. But every so often I will pretend that it's a meal.
I guess this is a good thing overall. I'm eating much more healthily. And the snacking I'm doing is also healthy. And the biking is healthy as well.
But I really would like to be full without having to eat all the time. How many apples can a girl eat in a day?
