annael Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 hello, i started on June, the 1st and being my first time ever i am still adjusting to portions...with salad greens i usually need to have more than 3 cups, is it ok? and abt eggs, is it ok to have sometime only egg whites? i like to prepare some omelette with one whole egg and 5/6 egg whites. and do we need to have a bit of starchy veg in every meal? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annael Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 thx for the quick reply ladyshanny! i figured out that if i make an omelette with 3/4 eggs i feel full while i am eating, i cant finish it and then after a couple of hrs i am hungry again. this doesnt happen when i use some egg whites, i dont know why... another question: i am making my own coconut milk kefir, is there a limitation for this probiotic? i usually have a sip in the morning and sometimes a sip before bed (i usually hv dinner around 6.30) and i go to bed around 10. how shall i calculate it? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's honestly hard to go overboard on good fats. is it ok in pre WO having a raw egg? and eventually pls could you indicate how to eat pre or post WO? usually post WO for me it is breakfast time (i need to lose weight so i stick to 3 meals per day, eventually a small bite of protein pre WO) thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw or cooked I guess is your choice. Pre and post workout food are in addition to your regular meals. You may not need PRE workout but if you are exercising at a level where you are depleting your body, you should be replenishing post workout (lean protein and starchy veggies) in addition to your meals. The pre and post workout food isn't a lot. A few bites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annael Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 mainly i am cooking with ghee (1 tsp) and eventually will add 1/2 avocado (small avocado) or a dash of raw olive oil to the dish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a lot of greens to add up to a decent amount of veg. Think of cooking down spinach. You start with heaps and heaps of spinach but as it cooks, it turns into a teeny amount on your plate. Same thing happens when you chew salad greens. It shrinks down to nothing. Eat the whole egg. The overwhelming majority of the good stuff in eggs is in the yolk. You don't need starchy veg at every meal. You can play around with how much starchy veg you need in your daily meals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're meant to be a couple bites of something, and then you have your next meal whenever you have your next meal. So if you exercise in the morning and you wake up at 7am, at 7:15am before you workout you have one egg (protein and fat). Then you workout for an hour and at 8:30am, you have a couple bites of chicken breast and maybe a couple bites of sweet potato. Then you go make breakfast and have your breakfast at 9-9:30ish. You still need to eat enough when you're trying to lose weight or else your body is going to freak out and stubbornly refuse to let go of that weight.

Some days you will be more hungry than others. Weight loss is a result of hormonal balance and the body feeling safe to drop excess weight. Only ever allowing yourself to eat three meals a day when you may be more hungry, especially on days when you work out vigorously, is not listening to your body. Hormonal balance is the key. Honestly, it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, it is. to tell u the truth i am not hungry during the day, because my meals are full . i am hungry in the post WO this is why i have a proper breakfast and it did happen that i knew i was going to be away around lunch time, so i packed 1/2 a meal in sort of snack, just to keep me going till i come home for lunch. i believe i am listening to my body, i dont live hunger unheard...

That's going to screw up your system like nobody's business. As counterintuitive as it seems, you have to eat enough in order to lose weight. And if you're doing over an 2 hours of exercise on those days and improperly fueling your body, it's going to start having a greater impact on your body the longer you continue. After the pool or after CrossFit, have a couple bites of protein and a couple bites of starchy carb *before you go home*. Then go home and have breakfast. Try it, before you keep telling us that you have no time. I typically eat my post-workout food in the car. You can eat a slice of chicken breast and drive at the same time. Or walk, if you walk to the gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
