What does your coach -- not your friend in training -- say about this?
My take (for what it's worth )
It's not as if you're loading up at the nearest bakery for the flour-sugar-fat 'splosion/treat. If 30 calories of lean protein at 10:30 am help you follow the program the rest of the day, I say
"DO IT!"
IMO it's ideal to comply with the principles and the specifics of the program. If you have to choose between strong hunger and compliance with the whole program, your hunger will win out. You will eat, it's the design of the human body. Better to have something that's "coloring outside the lines a little" than going "off the page!"
Another perspective:
Egg whites or another package MAY slow down your weight loss **A LITTLE**.
Getting hungry and carb-ing it up DEFINITELY WILL slow your weight loss.
Getting hungry and not eating in response to it is a virtual GUARANTEE to affect your metabolism negatively.
Thank you for that. it all makes perfect sense to me! For example, right NOW I am NOT hungry.... usually I am in the afternoon..... you asked what my coach says, well I dont have one..never did. It was this freind who has had success on the program and introduced me to it, as I was so DESPERATE, I was ready to go for a 'lapband' consultation !!!!!!! imagine! I am so thankful she introduced me to this. But there were some bits of info missing.... for example.....oil. I was not told I need to take in oil...... EVOO. Not till I read it here, and even now... i find it hard to remember to do this. As a result, Carla thinks I am missing fat that is why I have random cravings of peanut butter. I love this site, and all the information I am gathering from it. I will keep those egg whites in the fridge here at work... and only use them if the hunger strikes.

Different coaches give different information. What does your coach -- not your friend in training -- say about this?
