I've been fasting two days a week. but it comes with consequences: i exercise less and am less productive.


Also, I'm pretty sure fasting isn't the healthiest thing for me: I've been on a fixed-calorie daily diet. Not eating calories, for an entire day, is probably not natural for my body. what does my body use for energy, if I'm not consuming calories for 24 hours? I think my body compensates by eating more that usual on the days after fasting.

I've found affordable cookies to eat when I'm feeling stressed or calorie-deficient on busy days. They are a quarter of the price of oreos and chips ahoy, probably because they are generic. they have a lot of saturated fat though, and could be less healthy than oreos and chips ahoy.

Oh well, I usually only buy cookies whenever I'm very stressed or don't have enough time to plan a healthy meal because of random distractions. I usually also only buy cookies after promising myself that I'll buy healthier food the next day.
