Working as Intended

Normally I can eat a little over a pound of chicken in the evening when I'm doing the no-carb thing yet today I was filled up on half that. In fact, I've noticed that when I'm more active my appetite is much lighter. For instance, during my very busy Saturday in New York I ate half a sandwich for lunch then the other half for dinner and nothing else that day. In Seattle on my last day I ate dinner with John then didn't eat again until dinner the next day.

I'm thinking that is normal but it sure seems unfair. Having a higher appetite when indolent combined with the lack of metabolism means fatness. Definitely unfair. Something to fight.
