Is there such a thing as eating too much protien? I know someone gave the range for carbs in phase 1.. but is there also a range for protien?
I think i had a little extra yesterday... according to myfitnesspal anyway... but yesterday i was hungry all day... i didnt have anything bad.. but my hubby did make me edamame last night and i ate it all cause i was so hungry.
Yes, but if you're following Phase 1 you don't have to worry about having too much protein. Between your 3 packets and 8 oz (measured raw) animal protein, you are fine.
Remember, edamame is not allowed. I prep veggies for the week so if i'm starving there is always something I can grab that's allowed!

I have weigh in tomorrow.. and im going to get my meaurements done too as i think the numbers are going to be amazing to me!
Happy Tuesday everyone and good luck to all the weigh-ins today!
Not sure on the protein, someone else will probably chime in on that. I am pretty sure no edamame allowed on phase 1. I hope I am wrong as would love to be munching on those. So please someone else Answer too and let's hope I am wrong. My clinic measures every week. Funny how they are all so different.
Congratulations on all the great WI's today and yesterday!
Alright WI today and down another 2.5 pounds! So happy with this diet and how my body is feeling.
Just a side note about my coach though, she actually asked if I had really slipped up and cheated last week, as that high hydration reading I guess is still bothering her. <sad face> Oh well that reading was down to three something today.

There are some wide variations on the same things in myfitnesspal so be careful putting too emphasis on exactly what it says. I got a difference between 4 and 8 carbs on a cup of brocolli from 3 different days/times.

Following IP exactly I according to MFP, I get between 98-130 g of protein a day. (I have a couple extra ounces sometimes because of diabetes sugar lows)
The doctor said it should be 1/2 g per 1lb of weight. Seems about right to me.
Happy Tuesday everyone! Off to the chiropractor, lunch with hubby, and a matinee with the family.

Can someone explain why boiled edamame is bad? I am looking at the nutrition facts on the bag... and it is 120 cal, 5g fat, 7 g carb, 4 g fibre, 1 g sugar, 11 g protien per 1/2 cup serving.
Isnt edamame soyabeans.. and isnt soya on the list of allowed veggies??
A follow up to fitnesspal... is there a way to tell it we are doing Ideal protien? im getting tired of seeing it tell me im not eating enough calories for my weight.. i know im not...

All I know is it's not on the sheet, so it's not allowed. I wish it was, I like it too.
Soy is listed under condiments as in soy sauce.
Not sure about myfitnesspal, mine also says I'm not eating enough calories...I just ignore it for now!

You can readjust all kinds of things on MFP on the computer (not in mobile apps). I have re-set mine for cals/carbs/fats so it is closer to IP max
Re edamame
Simple answer: It isn't on the select veggie list. Just follow the sheet.
More complicated: If you ate enough to get the protein requirement for a "meat meal" you'd be WAY over on carbs, b/c the meats typically don't have carbs.
There are also other scientific parts of this diet besides cals/fat/carbs, such as the correct acid/alkaline balance.
If you have questions, ask your coach who can get an explanation from IP
NSV for me today. I think I'm officially out of size 14 trousers. Granted I think Ann Taylor runs big, but the size 14's I'm wearing today are definately too big. I am REALLY excited for my 2nd WI this Saturday
Soya beans are not listed anywhere on the Phase 1 sheet. Beans in general are considered a carb, not a vegetable, and we are not allowed to have carb foods while on IP.
Using soy sauce as a condiment is NOT the same thing as eating soybeans.
RE: too much protein. For a healthy person with a normally functioning liver, you can't really have too much protein - or at least, the quantities that you would have to eat to really cause a problem are way off the plantation. If you have liver issues, stones, calcificatons...that's a different story and you do need to watch your intake. But otherwise, just follow the sheet, and know if you have an extra ounce or two of protein here and there it's not going to derail you.
WI today, down 2.4! I was hoping for more, but I will take every pound I get!! Measurements were all down though. So that was awesome! My coach does measurements every week. It is interesting to me how different each coach does things. I'm still excited that this diet is working, and even more excited that the weather is improving! It's gorgeous here today! Happy Tuesday everyone!!!
and good luck to all the weigh-ins today!
