Breakfast on the run

So for the last several weeks, I have been walking 7 miles 3-4 days a week. I have also been fasting for about 19-20 hours a day, and watching my calories and my carbs. I keep my calories between 1700-1800 per day, and I keep my carbs under 100 grams per day. Last week was extremely difficult however, and even though I did manage to keep my calories down to about 1800, I'm not sure that was the best idea. I was starving most of the week, and managed to gain three pounds. (?)

I admit, I did endulge in some non-paleo food--potato chips and peanut M&Ms (twice) and a couple of cookies that someone brought to work. Oh, and there was a scone at some point I think...Mostly this was the result of me starving and not having my car to hop over to the grocery store for some decent food. Ordinarily, I would have been able to IF with no problem, but I think the fact that I added a pretty serious walk to my day introduced an element that I wasn't fully prepared for.

It also could be that last week was a menses-influenced fluke--that's what I am hoping anyway. I have heard that women should eat a lot of fat during that week, that it helps stabilize their blood sugar, and reduces cravings for simple carbs--I may have to plan for that as well.

I have no problem generally with IF. I think it is a great strategy--I feel good when I do it for extended periods of time, but with the addition of my walk each day, I think I am going to re-introduce breakfast to my day, along with a snack in the afternoon until I can manage not to binge on whatever happens to be around.

In the meantime while I sort all this out, breakast will be Omega-three eggs with veggies cooked in a little grassfed butter and coconut oil. I think my snack will be sardines, or leftovers with fruit.
