WholeMama Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 A little late according to the timeline but oh my I'm suddenly starving... This passes, right? I just ate a two egg omelet with a good amount of turkey, peppers and onions with 1/2 avocado on top and a side of sweet potato hash (fist size)... And I'm still hungry!! I have been very satiated with 3 meals a day up to this point. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's best to eat mini-meals of fat, protein, and vegetables, or at least two of the three. Are you by any chance in the week or so leading up to your period? Many women find themselves very, very hungry during that time. If that's the case, increase your starchy vegetables, and feel free to eat at the maximum size of the meal template if you're not already, or even more if you need to. If you don't think that's it, you might want to list a couple of days' worth of food, exercise, water intake, and sleep, and we'll see if anything leaps out anyone that you might be able to change to help.

WholeMama Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 Thanks for the reply... No, just finished last week, I do get that way so will remember your advice! I'm thinking maybe lunch wasn't big enough - I had about 2 cups of meat sauce with a cup or so of zucchini noodles and an apple with almond butter. Breakfast was 2 eggs, fist size of sweet potato hash, and a pan fried tomato. Lots of water and 2 seltzer a, plus a green tea mid morning. The sleep thing is another story - been having a hard time keeping my eyes open past 9 pm! Generally wake up at least once in the night though, and up no later than 5 am.

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted September 18, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 18, 2015 Lunch definitely could have had more vegetables, and you might also try an extra egg or some other protein at breakfast -- when you have eggs as your only protein, the serving size should be as many whole eggs as you can hold in your hand, which is probably 3-4. Plus you don't list any added fat -- a lot of the fat you cook in stays in the pan, so you usually need to add more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeMama Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Thank your- I see that now! After years of counting calories I am now getting used to the idea that more of the right foods is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
