Cyclemama Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I have heard the term used "eat on the high end of the template" for those who have an active lifestyle. Does that mean to make sure you load up on your meals just a little bit more? Thanks, JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen_Suep Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 The template has a range (1-2 palms protein, 1-3 cups veggies, etc) so the higher end would mean 2 palms, 3 cups, more fats etc. So short answer yes. Active people may also benefit from more than just one fist sized starch a day too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted September 20, 2016 Moderators Share Posted September 20, 2016 The meal template calls for "filling your plate with veggies" and does not suggest 1-3 cups. The concept of eating 1-3 cups per meal was invented by moderators offering advice in language that is more specific than "fill your plate with veggies." One cup of veggies falls short of what the meal template intends for meals. Maybe three cups achieves what is intended, but not necessarily. Sometimes people spread salad leaves on a plate and call that filling a plate with veggies. That falls way short of what is intended. I like to say, fill your plate with "cooked" veggies and pile them high if you are hungry or very active. I have been known to eat plates piled 1.5 to 2 inches high. Most people most of the time do not need to eat so much, but there are times when high metabolism people really need to eat sizable meals. I could not eat that much when I adopted this approach to eating, but I developed the capacity to eat big meals over time. When I first started, I ate 4 or 5 meals per day. Knowing it was better to let the body rest between meals, I eventually got to where I could eat enough in 3 meals to keep me satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Page 190. ISWF. ^^^ This. Almost word for word. Thanks for reminding us it's just that easy. I'm curious and searching through the book...where did the "broccoli and fish" come from? Ha! Just found it on page 197. "hungry enough to eat steamed fish and broccoli?"
