But now with the new plan that seems like way too much.
Or my stock lunch: a Boca burger (2 pts, now 3) on a deli flat (1 pt, now 3) with a slice of cheese (2 pts) - in all, 5 points, now 8. Then I would have baked beans (2 pts, now 3 to 5 pts) and some veggies and maybe a piece of fruit, so 7 or 8 pts for the entire meal and I was satisfied and had enough points to enjoy a nice evening meal.
But with the new plan, I seem to be out of points by noon and I'm still hungry. A piece of cheese for 3 points just does not replace my bran muffin (was 3 points, now 6) for me in terms of filling me up. I know protein is supposed to fill you up, but a breakfast of eggs and bacon has always made me a starving lunatic about an hour later. Protein just does not satisfy my hunger at all.
Anyone else lack an appreciation for protein like I do?
why dont you switch your breakfast up.
still have the plain oatmeal(if thats your flavor) with raisins (i add almond milk, cinnamon, and an equal) slice of multigrain toast and strawberry fruit spread. thats what I ate today it was a 12 point breakfast, but very filling.
