Has anyone else had this problem?
My coach and I set a target calorie goal of around 900 calories a day.
There are a few days each week where I am too low (650 or 700), even with the 3 packets, the 4 cups of veggies, 6-8 oz. of lean protein and unlimited lettuce. Plus the recommended oil and salt.
Here is what I focus on eating:
- Stay away from restricted IP foods
- Eat lean, broiled or grilled proteins (chicken breasts, white fish, pork tenderloin) with homemade spice rubs
- Eat grilled or raw veggies (heavy on zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers and green peppers)
- Love the unlimited lettuce
- Lots of water and the occasional club soda + lime or La Croix
This plan is so strict that I want to stay in the right calorie range without going over on veggies or proteins for the day.
Hunger really isn't an issue. If I'm hungry and low on calories I'll grab a naked Jimmy John's turkey unwhich (mustard & cucumber only).
Any recommendations?
