Catlady, be sure to let us know if they let you buy from the clinic.
I saw two copies on Amazon at over $150 bucks each, ouch.
Woohoo! The new coach at the clinic just emailed me. They have one copy they are going to hold for me. It's $35. I'm going to go get it during my lunch hour. I'll ask about what the ordering situation is and such and report back here.
I got there and it was $40 not $35. That's ok. It's a monster of a book and the photography is stunning. Can't wait to have a sit down with this one. My clinic says that they have to order them 6 at a time. I got the last one she had today.

It IS a monster of a lovely hardbound book with gorgeous food photog, & even more interesting photography of how they do the photography, lol. The recipes are quite short & simple which is good. Who feels like molecular gastronomy all the time?
For P3 breakfast, can greek yogurt count as my protein and my dairy? On the P3 sheet it just says 1 protein 1 carb and 1 fat serving but on the explanation sheet it says about 15 gr of carbs from dairy.
Plain greek yogurt will be new for me. Can I put torani SF syrup in there to give it flavour? Any other ideas?
My breakfast sandwich and fruit smoothie with a glass of milk this morning ended up at:

I bought Dempsters double my fibre bread. If I only allow myself WW bread for the rest of my life I will be sure to never overeat it again! Not a fan at all!

Chipndip- my clinic can order for $40. Her gym is Body Shaping Gym on Lakeshore, her name is Maria if you want to call and order. they are sold out right now. I may get one as well (but have to wait...my DH just informed me it costs too much to be me!)
Hey friends! Jenny....you're calories are still conservative even if you are a bit hugrier! Liana, I hope you are getting some much needed rest. Eating with shift work is SO hard!
Had a good day yesterday, still short on what I tell myself is going to be my calories (around 1500), but up from last week. Had a yummy breakfast of raspberry yogurt sprinkled with almond slices and the last homemade muffin.

The new P3 sheet doesn't do a great job of helping craft a good P3 breakfast, IMHO. Below is a link to a post that has a P3 breakfast worksheet and it might be more helpful as you try to break down the foods you choose. I used this to craft all of my P3 breakfasts my first time on IP, it was HUGELY helpful in figuring out how to adapt recipes.
But in essence, a P3 breakfast should be:
at least 25g protein (from all sources)
Less than 15g fat (from all sources)
Less than 30g carbs from grain
less than 20g carbs from fruit
less than 15g carbs from dairy
(total of less than 65g carbs for the whole breakfast)
Less than 120 calories from dairy
Total of between 400-500 calories
Torani SF syrup or a tiny squirt of mio works well too. I also have done a packet of stevia and a cap of vanilla extract or other flavour extract, like coconut or pineapple. Or both, lol, with a sprinkle of slivered almonds = tropical breaky.
Awesome awesomeness!!!! Just saw my friend that loaned me Chef Verati's new cookbook and she said keep it! She has decided to do WW 'cause she likes that way of eating better (she's not fat, just a couple of pounds to lose yet - lost most of the weight with IP actually) so she gave me the cookbook and a dozen broccoli cheese IP soups (my favorite!). So I'm now the proud owner of his amazing cookbook!!

More carbs than I usually have thanks to a whole bag of Quaker Crispy Minis, hopefully an anomaly that will not continue (if I have anything to say about it... AND I DO!).
I found a new Funday menu item - gotta plan this one in!
Wendy's Restaurants have a limited edition Pulled Pork Poutine with either smoky, spicy, or sweet BBQ sauce. AND GF if I don't have the poutine gravy on it (I can handle that) although I need to get it early in the day so that there isn't a bunch of wheat breaded stuff dunked into the frying oil first.
Unfortunately it is 750 calories (without the 'gravy' but with spicy BBQ sauce), 40g of fat, 63 net carbs, 29g protein. Can't possibly work that into a maintenance regular day as any meal but breakfast.

Interesting, all this time I was told 1 starch carb, 1 dairy - low fat if you want, 1 protein, 1 fat, 1 fruit. Just making sure you had 25g protein for the breakfast. There could be a combo involved in one food ie: greek yogourt with 11% fat gives you protein, dairy and fat. So if you aren't able to eat a bulky breakfast you could choose that. Worked fine for me. One serving of everything! Still use that for P4, except I sometimes add extra servings in there of stuff I feel like.
Disclaimer: maybe it doesn't work for others, but I continued to lose weight in P2 and 3 and lost inches in my waist and hips in maintenance while staying at my goal weight.
This other way just seems so complicated...

And it's totally likely they simplified it like that when they did the 2014 revision- I also continued to lose the first time I did P3 but had trouble figuring out how to plan those breakfasts until someone posted the worksheet I linked to - I guess it just "clicked" in my brain a little better when I had a chart I could fill out. We all find our ways to make it work!
What Scorbett posted is still the P3 guidelines. It definitely took some time to wrap my brain around them - hence why I made those those note cards with different meal components to help me easily manipulate them. I posted several meals that I made up using these guidelines in the P3 Breakfast thread.
On a different note....whoa Liana....now THOSE are some fries!!!!!!!!!!!
