Carrie Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 So i'm on day 6 (just finished day 6)... Something I'm wondering about is meal spacing. So I ate breakfast at like 7:30am (4 eggs, 1 cup spinach, 1 cup mushrooms in coconut oil) lunch at about 12:30 (5 oz turkey, 1 cup green beans in coconut oil, half a sweet potato with siagon cinnamon and ghee) then I was ready for dinner at 4:30 (I had chicken sauteed in coconut oil and spices with 2 cups of broccoli and cauliflower). Now at 8:30ish I was hungry again! So I had a few eggs in coconut oil with 1/2 banana, 1 clementine with a bit of nutiva coconut manna... Is that ok???????????????????????????????????? How far apart should my meals be and should I eat more at them so as to hold me longer???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 The meal template http://whole9life.com/book/ISWF-Meal-Planning-Template.pdf spells it out. 3 meals is ideal and yes you should eat enough at each one to keep you satisfied til the next one. But it can take a while to get into the way of that so don't worry about it. I know Tom ate more than that, I think it was 4 or 5 meals for quite some time. Melissa herself says it's better to snack than be ravenously hungry just make sure snacks are like mini meals with protein, veggies & fat. Make sure there's enough fat with each meal. I'm sure you'll do great. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted March 7, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 7, 2013 I really like that you ate a fourth meal of eggs and fruit with some fat. A fourth meal is okay. You might need to eat a bigger lunch to remain satisfied until later in the day. I frequently eat a big lunch between noon and 1 and don't eat supper until 7:30. Eating supper at 7:30 makes it easy for me to stay satisfied through sleepy time. But as Kirsteen said, I ate 4 or 5 meals per day for a long time before I got comfortable eating big enough meals to be happy with 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Thank you Kirsteen and Tom. Good to know I'm moving in the right direction... I am so "hungry" for vibrant health, I could cry... I'm so grateful to have found the Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
