abbeydaw Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I am on Day 4 of whole 30 and feeling great! However.. I am not hungry. Haven't been since the start of the program. I ate very well and the same foods before starting, but much less animal protein then I am eating now. I have found since starting that I am just not really hungry. I wake up with a bit of an appetite, and usually feel a tinge of hunger around 10pm ( i think that is more just wanting to snack ha). I am still eating 3 consistent meals, but I am not hungry for them so I am kind of forcing myself to eat. Here is an example of meals: M1 - 1/2 sweet potato, chard, onions, 2 homemade sausage patties cooked up in ghee as a hash M2 - 1 can tuna with a chopped apple, some chopped onion, 1ish tablespoon of whole 30 mayo over kale salad with creamy balsamic (balsamic + whole30 mayo) M3 - small sweet potato with nut butter, broccoli and about 5 pork/beef meatballs with nom nom paleo's cherry bbq sauce I assume that my hunger cues will eventually balance out, and that a lot has to do with consuming more animal protein vs. grains/legumes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted February 6, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 6, 2016 As best I can tell, you might be near eating enough. I think you would be under-eating if you failed to eat at least this much. Our meal planning template guidelines tell you the minimum you should eat and that is what I am thinking you are near...
