Decided to track food/calorie intake

Mainly because I am still having this weird GI pain that I mentioned months ago. I am trying to see if it is linked a specific food or something.
So, I signed up for sparkpeople.com, which I have used in the past and loved.
And it is not even 5 p.m. and I've already consumed 1200 calories and am STARVING.
I do not want to gain as much as I did last time (close to 60 pounds - yes, 60) so I am trying to keep within 1900-2200 calories. So that doesn't actually leave me much for the rest of the evening when I tend to snack most. I need to work on some filling, low cal snacks!!
Sam is still nursing about once a day, so maybe that's one reason I am still ravenous. Man, I wish the first tri munchies would settle down...

Re: Decided to track food/calorie intake
If you're still nursing, you should probably up your calorie intake. As long as you are eating healthy (junk in moderation), you are going to gain whatever your body wants to gain. I understand wanting to keep weight gain under control but definitely dont deprive yourself.
