portions

[mandyp]

I am currently on day 25 of my first whole 30 and honestly I'm very happy with how I've been doing and really the only issue I seem to be having is that I'm not sure how to portion things. I feel like I can never get a good balance. And I had to weigh for a doctors appointment and didn't lose any weight, although my inches have shrunk I can tell. Am I the only one struggling with this??????

Hi Mandy,

 

Are you using our meal template as your guide? 

 

1-2 palms (length, width, depth) protein

1-3 cups veggies

1-2 thumbs fat (or half to whole avocado or handful olives)

 

Are your meals keeping you satiated for 4-5 hours? How's your energy? Your sleep? Your mood?

Yes I am eating within all of those guidelines, and for the most part I stay full.  I do have to have a snack before my cross fit workouts.  I usually have plain tuna from a can and a handful of olives for that snack.  I'm other wise feeling good.  Sleep is always an issue for me has been all of my life.  I am just a really light sleeper.  I feel better over all.  Moods are def better because my stomach isn't in constant turmoil like it used to be.

I think you're probably bang on in your portions then!  Keep doing what's working.
