Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hi everyone, I am almost 100% on food program after a week. I was off grains/high starch vegetables for a month before I found this site. And this past week, I slowly weened myself off of fruits. It went OK. The fats help huge with cravings! I am still doing 1 c. of raw goat yogurt a day and will ween off slowly. Question... as I look at food ratios, I am nearly 20 grams too high on protein. I do the egg smoothie in the morning (yum) and 1 mini one late afternoon (1 egg, 1 tb VCO, 1 tb butter)... I usually do 3 oz protein at lunch and dinner but it is still too much. I've been doing ~ 2 c. bone broth too which is adding to protein, but tastes so healing. Getting off yogurt will help but still too high. Any suggestions? Also, does someone know generally what a cup of grilled (in ~2 TB VCO/butter/tallow) low-carb veggies make up in terms of carbs and fat? I will figure out on SparkPeople (easier to use than Fit Day) but just curious if someone can share their perspective who has been doing this awhile to be sure mine matches up. Thanks so much!
