GFChris Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Did you check your bacon ingredients to confirm no sugar?Other than that, it looks like you have the basics down. Maybe make paleo mayo or other complaint homemade dressing to enjoy on your salad. - Is your protein 1-2 palm sizes?- Are you having enough veggies? Shoot for 1-2 cups per meal.- Are you feeling pleasantly full? That's a good gauge for whether you're having enough food.What are you drinking besides coffee with/between your meals?

katie328 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 thanks for your help yes i found bacon with no added sugar. All i drink is water throughout the day. This morning i was hungry after 4 hours so i am thinking tomorrow maybe add a little fruit in with my breakfast? Protein i aim for about 4-5 oz.

GFChris Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Move away from weighing the protein: look at your palm and do 1-2 palm sizes.I would first make sure you have 1-2 cups of veggies at breakfast before considering adding fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpinSpin Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 If you are still hungry, I would look at bumping up your fats. It is ok to err on having a bit more fat then less. Perhaps olives, coconut milk or flakes (unsweetened), fattier cuts of meat or you could add winter squash, sweet potatoes, beets or other carb rich veg.

JJB Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 A serving of eggs is as many as you can hold in your hand...I bet you can hold more than 2. 2 slices of bacon isn't really substantial enough to count as part of your protein serving, in my opinion. I'd also suggest you add some starchy vegetables like Spin mentioned. Not everyone does well on super low-carb diets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie328 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 thank you! i will try a sweet potato- are you allowed to have sweet potatoes every day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJB Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Sure! Sweet potatoes are totally OK. I have either 1 small or half a medium with both lunch and dinner, almost every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
