I was noticing your meals for today, make sure you are getting in your 3 oz's of protein per meal, your veggie or fruit, your carbs and fat. A preferred fat is the 4 flax caps that Jorge reccomends.
Try and keep the calories as such on eat meal: veggie or fruit: 50 calories, 45 calories for fat, 225 calories for protein and 80 calories for carbs.
That is what Jorge suggests.
Also make sure you are having a fat with each meal, in the book it breaks down what fats are best and he reccomends Flax oil as your preferred fat.
Laurie, thanks so much for keeping an eye on me! Todays menu was not typical. I've had out of town company and keeping odd hours. I know its no excuse I'm going tomorrow to get a food scale cause I think I am WAY underestimating my protein. I feel like I'm eating way to much! Gotta get over that! I do have the book, I just got it so I'm still reading it but I guess I need to skip to the menu planning part, because I'd been doing it at JC but I've been seriously slacking on that this week. The challenge couldn't have come at a better time for me! Really looking forward to it. I'll keep posting my menu so if I need it, kick me in the butt. You are such an inspiration!
