So I did the air-popped popcorn and was very hungry by the end of the day. So hungry I actually decided not to go to the gym because I would probably faint. Good to know, right?

Since then, I've added an additional sandwich or almonds, a bottle of Ensure or fruit. (They had a good sale on oranges at my supermarket this week).

 I guess this is going to be an ongoing learning process. If anyone has had similar experiences and found ways to get over those problems, let me know.

And thanks, sak, for your comments and the links to those recipe sites!
