Soup /fit/

For teh past few days I've just been eating whenever I'm hungry. Every time I sit down to add up calories, I'm really low. This is fuckwin because I'm cutting (5'8", 162lbs, hoping to get down to 155 by the end of Aug.)

Today I ate:
oatmeal with blueberries and strawberries
wheat pasta with cherry tomatoes, mozz, and chicken
bananas
a peach
whey
And it's midnight and I'm now going to bed without any hunger whatsoever

FUCK YEAH

but if calorie count is still low, what are you suggesting will happen? that it somehow gets stored as fat and then what? my body still has to get energy from somewhere, right?

so it burns it right off anyway

Depends. If you are doing something strenuous while it is still in the bloodstream, you'll use it directly. Since it is a simple carb, it tends be dumped into the bloodstream all at once and needs to be used *right* then. Some maltodextrin and dextrose, for example, are very high GI carbs--but great for post-workout because your muscles are depleted of glycogen and you could use an insulin spike along with a good protein shake. If eaten any other time, they'd enter the bloodstream just as quick, but would not be needed while sitting at a computer. They'd be stored as fat after 40 mins. Once you store energy as fat, it becomes much harder to retrieve the energy without simultaneously catabolizing muscle, since fat and muscle are often burned together--the body has only so many ketones burning fat at one time and will look for proteins in absence of carbs--carbs which are not there because you chose a fast-digesting carb source rather than a slow hours-long source. Complex low GI carbs like oatmeal and wholegrains slowly enter the bloodstream and thus supply energy for several hours.
