I know weight loss is CICO and a calorie is a calorie… But let’s say it’s a rare day where I’m already at my calorie limit, but I feel unreasonably hungry. If I start taking the habit of always reaching for a plate of plain cut up veggies, and eating them even if I go over, will I hypothetically gain weight long term?
There’s been times where I felt hungry, but I was already maxed out and didn’t want to go over, but still succumbed to some food and went way overboard and threw off a weeks progress. Then I start feeling hopeless and bad habits come through.
Could the habit of reaching for vegetables make less overall damage? I know they still have calories, but I feel like veggies are less addicting, so even if I go over in calories, I think long term, my brain would understand that grabbing a snack would mean grabbing a veggie, and since it isn’t the most savoury thing in the world, that habit would start to die down and I wouldn’t have to grab veggies or anything extra anymore.
Also I’m a 5”1 and 135 lbs very sedentary woman with an ongoing spinal injury so I don’t have much leeway in terms of creating a big deficit. Just an FYI, because a couple calories might throw me off a lot easily whether it’s a bag of carrots or some chips. I’m just trying to collect a hypothesis on the future.
(Sorry if I didn’t make sense)
