    I am on metabalance for breastfeeding and I feel like all I do is eat, but since I started cardio and weight training I have been hungry...I do 1 hour 5 times a week. I have been grabbing a small handful of raw almonds when I feel the urge to snack. I'm not sure if that will hurt my weight loss and I haven't brought it up to my center yet.

    This is so interesting So, on metabalance, are the portion sizes the same? 4 oz. of protein (or 3 with .5 of cheese), 40-50 calories worth of starch, about 1/2 cupish of fruit (depending on the fruit), 4/8 0z. cooked/raw veggies? I am doing 2 shakes and 1 snack, such as yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, etc.

    I'm not quite sure what dairy is allowed on metabalance.

    Anyhow, I'm glad you started exercising, it's so great to feel fit

I usually do at least one of my snacks in the car during my commute and it's nice to be allowed a bar every day for that.

    The breastfeeding menu is the same but the protein and veggie portions are WAY bigger (6 oz protein, 12ounces raw veggies!!, DOUBLE veggies at dinner.) I felt like I was training to be a sumo wrestler, not lose weight!
    I'm sorry, I must have missed your reply. Thanks for writing back

    I have a question, but I don't know if you can answer it, but here goes.

    A friend of mine shared her meta-balance menu with me today (below) and it seems nothing like what you're talking about with the extra protein and extra veggies. Now, I am very confused, lol. Any advice? Thank you again.

    Breakfast:
    3oz protien (which equals 1 egg or 1 oz cz)
    1 starch (which I usually either have 1 piece of toast or 1/4 cup oatmeal with splenda and cinnamon)
    1 dairy (either 1 cup of plain non-fat yogurt or 1 cup skim milk)

    Snack:
    1 serving of fruit
    1 HNS

    Lunch:
    3oz protien
    3oz cooked veggies or 6 oz raw veggies
    1 fruit

    Snack:
    1 starch
    1 HNS

    Dinner:
    3oz protien
    3oz cooked veggies or 6oz raw
    1 starch

    Snack:
    1 dairy
    1 HNS

    It's only the breastfeeding menu that has larger portions.
