Macros are good for my goals and it’s filling with just a couple handfuls! Fat is not bad. I want to make sure everyone gets that! The difference is saturated vs. not. Avocados and nuts are fat, but good and satiating - lasting longer than carbs and don’t trigger the blood sugar spikes that make you keep going back to carbs! Fat is your friend. 1/4 cups gives 11g fat (only 1 of which is saturated) 12g carbs but 2 fiber (making it 10) 5g protein

Tonight for a meal I had a discounted crab cake from the Kroger seafood section and a bowl of Special K Fruit & Yogurt cereal. (I like it, I know it’s not really that good for me… ) I just thought I’d share that meals don’t have to be an entree and two sides. As long as your satiated, who cares if it was two random things out the fridge 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

One thing I learned the hard way was that with GLP medications - food becomes decentered from your priority list. This is great because it allows for better choices, but the down side is getting enough protein is vital and eating meat or other protein sources can be daunting when you’re not too hungry. I have - for at least the last year - anchored my mornings with Chike Protein coffee. I like the cinnamon best, and the triple shot - if you like coffee taste - is great. I mix the two, and use about 3 scoops for my morning anchor. 50-60g of protein I can sip on from morning until dinner. Amazing for satiation while working and to keep from grabbing a convenience snack when hunger creeps in. I have a link to purchase if anyone wants it - I believe it gives you $10 off and I can also give you a sample if you want to stop by. (If you’re local.) Chike guarantees the flavors so if you get one and don’t like it they will replace it. I also use Oath clear protein when I don’t want caffeine or if it’s later in the day and I haven’t gotten much. Find a protein anchor and lean on it. Your body will thank you for not starving it (not the goal!) and it will leave to sustainable habits as you continue to lose weight and get healthier. Remember the only way out is through, so let’s make the way through as enjoyable as possible! For me, that means I only get Roseland like once every 6-8 weeks and drink this instead. 1g of sugar and consistently delicious.

French onion soup is my fave from a few local restaurants… I looked up a recipe and it’s so inexpensive to make! Caramelize onions Add spices (thyme, rosemary, whatever you like) Deglaze pan (wine, or I used balsamic vinegar) Add beef broth and let reduce Served with a piece of my fave toasted sunflower loaf from Kroger deli and some alpine blend (Gruyère/swiss) cheese

Garret fried up bacon this morning and in an effort to not allow him to eat the whole package - I made a quick omelette with pepper jack cheese and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper. I always forget how fast and easy eggs are. High protien win
