jmcbn Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Okay, a couple of thing for you to work on:Pre work out aim for lean protein & fat - not fruit. Also, you could up the fat intake two & just go for a postWO meal of lean protein & starchy veg immediatley after your WO and before meal three.You need to be aiming for at least one cup of veg, but preferably three per meal - fruit should not push veg off your plate. Eat your veg first & then if you're still hungry then eat the fruit.Don't forget to include fat with each meal - I don't see any - try adding some olives, compliant bacon, home-made mayo etc. Any fat that you cook in tends to stay in the pan & can be pretty much discounted.Maybe keep your starchy veg to one meal a day & add in some greens/cabbage etc to mix things up a bit & see how you go....Aim for at leat 1/2 an ounce of water per pound of body weight.

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted July 14, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 14, 2015 Are your meals getting you through to the next one without feeling the need to snack or kill someone? personally, I'd say you're a little light on everthing including the protein and I don't see any added fat. The meal template asks for 1-3 cups of vegetables per meal, 1-2 palm (width, depth, thickness) of protein and 1-2 thumbs of fat (not including whatever is left in the pan when you cook with it). I don't know the size of your burger patty, but do you think you're hitting the template with each of these meals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwillow Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 I am eating every 4 hours and my hamburger patty is a little bigger than palm size. So since I had my pototoes at lunch should I skip the yam tonight and have spaghetti squash? Fat is hard for me, I looked up the list in the book and I guess I need to get more almonds etc. I sure hope I am doing this right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'd avoid getting more almonds - or any other nuts (they're a poor fat source due to their omega 3:6 ratio) & aim for the better fat souces like fattier cuts of meat, home made mayo, olives, and other cooking fats like tallow, schmaltz, goose fat etc.Squash is also a starchy veg so I'd mix it up for some power greens & other veg in future but it's fine for today if that's all you've got. Any veg is better than no veg for sure!You're doing fine - it always takes a few tweaks in the early days.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
