There have been people here who have physically demanding jobs and they often carry a couple extra hard boiled eggs or have an extra packet for additional protein either right after the exertion or in the midst of it if it is an all day thing.Originally Posted by AlaskaLadyie
Thank you Since I have never saw the sheets I guess I am in the dark on what is on them... I did eat lunch after by big exertion yesterday and ate chicken and cucumber for supper I was ok until we got home later...then I knew I would never sleep if I did not eat something as I was feeling starved.... do any of the rest of you do heavy physical labor while on this diet??
Also you might consider splitting some of your food up a little differently so you are eating every 3-4 hours. Have a half a restricted bar between Bfast and lunch; save a half cup of veggies to munch on in the afternoon along with the other half of the bar; have 2-3 oz of your dinner protein with lunch, ETTC. You have to stay in the guidelines of IP (including the 4th packet on these kinds of days) but make the eating work in your favor.
One last thought... You might need to be sure you are having something of substance for Bfast and not just a shake. One whole egg and three egg whites is equal to an IP egg packet (less expensive/better food.) even add some veggies from lunch to it (1/4 cup or so).
Look for Maple Grove Farms SUGAR FREE pancake/waffle mix found in the grocery store. Near Bob's Red Mill and gluten free products. $3.99 a box... Just use 1/4 cup mix with water to get batter consistency. No need to add egg or oil! Serve with Walden Farms maple or blueberry syrup.
