I am on a roll today! Second post in one one day!

Here is question #2

How does your nutrition breakdown? I mean do you eat a protein at each meal? Do you stay away from carbs in the evening?

I think I REALLY struggle with "hoarding" my points. SO I feed myself the least point costing items all day, which leaves me feeling desperate and shaky by 5, which then results in my eating impulsively and HUGELY.

I am hoping you guys can counsel me in how a typical days meals would look. Cause I am not sure.

And what are some good protein choices?

thanks again!

Hey Tracie!

I'm not doing WW; I count calories, but I'll be happy to share what I do.
I am a big fan of planned snacks. I eat 3 meals, plus 2 or 3 snacks a day. Right now I'm trying to work in a LOT more protein since I'm weight lifting and so I do include protein with every meal/snack (although not necessarily meat based proteins).

Here's what my day today looks like just to give you an example:

Breakfast: yogurt with blueberries and protein powder (290 cals)
Snack: String cheese (50 cals)
Lunch: Big salad with blue cheese and chicken (380 cals)
Snack: Boiled egg (75 cals)
Post workout: protein shake (250 cals)
Dinner: grilled mahi, some kind of veggie although I'm not sure what yet and probably some coleslaw made with light asian sesame dressing (350 cals)
Dessert: Frozen yogurt (110 cals)

Total cals for the day : 1505
Total protein: 112 g
Macro breakdown: 33% carbs / 35% protein / 32% fat (too much fat - i try to be more around 25%-30% fat, but the blue cheese at lunch got me there!)
