Going to be making some more adjustments in the food plan. Thanks Giz for all the coaching today!
Goal: 25% fat, 35% carbs & 40% protein, chol <300 mg & sodium <1300.

I take that as a success for the day!

So, do you find it difficult to try to balance your food amongst those categories? I applaud you for doing it. And does that fill you up for lunch? I think that would be challenging for me.

ceceps- Unfortunately the timing of my meals on the weekends is always out of wack, late brkf, early dinner so I usually stick something in between and call it lunch. I don't usually lunch on nuts & dried fruit and ordinarily that would not fill me up.
The rebalancing is starting today. It went pretty well. I am eating differently, but what I find is that when I do my planning for the next day I record all my protein first, then fill in with the carbs and fats, then take a look at my totals and adjust from there. Will see how this goes.

Good job keeping to your goals Babs! I've never tried that Chobani yogurt. I looked it up and will give it a try if I can find it.

I haven't quite figured out the best balance for me either. I have my macro targets & plan my menu the same way, proteins first then fats/carbs to fill in the blanks, but if I plan it out so that it's equally distributed into 4 meals - the 4th "meal" allotted for snacks - I find it's too much food for me to eat in the morning, & I get hungry before bed. So good luck finding the best balance for you...I'm not there yet, lol.

Information - You shouldn't have a problem finding it. I get the 32 oz container, plain n/f...none of that nasty fruity stuff added in...Yuck! The plain is so versatile, you can add in your own fresh fruit, nuts, grains, protein powder, flax meal....or you can go savory and add in curry, cumin, garlic ...

I like adding plain yogurt to my whey sometimes it makes for a nice thick pudding!
