Tazzo Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I'm on day 6 of my first whole30. I've read the books and got everything I need and am feeling good about getting through the first five days. I was hoping for some advise as I'm always hungry. An hour after eating a meal I feel hungry. I'm having protein and fats with each meal. Anyone else feel the same? What are some whole30 snacks I could have while my body adjusts?

jmcbn Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Hey @Tazzo & welcome to Whole30 How much protein are you eating as it related to the size of your palm? What are you eating in terms of fat? Are you filling your plate with veg? Are you active? And if so, are you including pre and/or postWO meals?

Tazzo Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Protein - I would have 2 eggs or about the size of my palm worth of chicken or beef. I cook with extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil. I don't workout more than twice a week but I'm a first grade teacher, so very busy during the day. Advice would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Ok, so a serving of eggs when they are your only source of protein in a meal would be the number of WHOLE eggs you can hold in one hand. Most females can manage 3-4. Remember that the 1-2 palms is a range. If you're hungry, then eat more. Protein & fat are going to provide the best satiety so I'd start by adding a little more protein & fat to each meal & see how you go from there. Fat wise what you're using to cook with will mostly stay in the pan so feel free to add something extra to the plate - olives, avocado, a drizzle of oil/ghee, some coconut cream - a little of what you fancy - fat is your friend here Veg will provide bulk/fibre and help you to feel full so make sure you;re getting a good variety at each meal. And MANY people mistake thirst for hunger, so make sure you're getting the recommended 1/2 an ounce of water per pound of body weight daily. If those work outs are intense don;t forget to add in some additional postWO protein. Let us know how you're getting on............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazzo Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Okay thank you. I will increase my protein and fat and see how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
