Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I actually try to just eat around 16-20 grams of protein then match up a carb that will go well with it that will get me the right amount of carbs. Because the SBD Frozen dinner I eat for lunch each day is higher I try to keep the rest lower, so I come in good for the day. The first 4 weeks I used the bars for my mid day snack as well as my b4 bed snack. Now weeks 5-8 I am tring to eat only one bar a day, the one before bed. Then the last 4 weeks I am going to try to cut out the frozen meals at lunch and do all WHOLE/REAL food. I have to find a few good things that I can bring to work and eat for lunch...I'm thinking sweet potatoes, Chicken and a salad..we will have to see... Thanks For the post.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Not a stupid question at all Fist/Palm works fine Calories work fine Depends on how simple or detailed you like to be I do fist/palm. Then I track calories for a random day or two. n At 04:18 AM 2/10/2006, you wrote: ><SNIP> >I thought the BFL eating plan are based on servings, like a fist >carbs and a palm of protein.......!!! so, whats all this calorie >talk about?<SNIP> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Yes the plan calls for fist/palm portion sizing. But I found after 6 months on the program my results came to a crashing halt even with increasing my exercise intensity. So I have found the need to really evaluate what I was eating and that has helped me progress further.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 And ... I just like to do a reality check. I am ending week 6 Sunday and this is really the first time I have REALLY checked the calorie counts of what I was eating. I figured I was where I needed to be but its nice to see the hard numbers and know I am coing in where I thought I was. And I will take my free day this week. I don't want to shut down..being in the range for 3 weeks with not much free day freedome...I am fearing I will hamper my results. SO this free day I have it all planned out >} Mcs Sausage McMuffin with egg, for breakfast, Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup for lunch, Chili's Southwest egg rolls and chicken for dinner...desert if I think I can and cheese and crackers to snack on in between...if I feel the need. That ought to make my body know there is no famine in sight...lol > > > > > > I finally got arround to putting anaverage day into fit day to do > > > > a > > > sanity check.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 It depends on what one I have lying around. I use the Body For Life regular, EAS Advant Edge, High Protein Slim Fast, Zone or The PayDayPRO (MMMMMM) The point I was trying to make is I want to eat all REAL food for the last 4 weeks if I can do it. Finding my sweet fix may be a problem though. I know I can have fruit and cheese, or Yogurt and meat...but sometimes those bars just hit the spot. I just want to see if getting off the processed/pre-packaged food will add any benefit for me > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
