I am eating healthy but a lot

leepinlily Posts: 3 Joined: 2005/06/08	2005/06/13, 08:03 PM I just changed my diet and I am trying to eat healthier. I eat a lot of fruits and veggies. I eat mostly low fat and non fat foods, and I dont eat much junk food. Although since I changed my diet I feel like I eat all day long. Is this alright as long as I stay within my desired calorie intake? Or should I try to just eat 3 meals a day with a small snack between meals? Does it mean something, that I am hungry all day long?

If you are exercising when you didn't that would probably be the reason that you feel hungry all day. Also you are probably eating less than you were, it takes a bit for your body to get used to that. Make sure you are getting the correct amount of protein, fats and carbs. Good luck Leslie

I have never had a healthy diet because my mom doesnt like to cook. I am used to her wanting to go out and eat a lot. I dont know what is good. I get a lot of the vitamins I need, and I usually get pretty close to the amount of fat it lists, but it is hard for me to get enough protien in my diet. I dont know what to eat. Thanks for the help btw.

It's gonna be tough keepin up but I can do it.. all you got to do is make adjustments to your food and as for the protein go to gnc and get whey protein powders.. thatll give you plenty of protein :) -------------- ~If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.

Mine gives 23 grams of Protein per scoop, with water. While they're not as good as regular food they can assist in getting you over the hump. Personally I like the Optimum Double Chocolate...it helps a lot when I get to craving chocolate, which is really my only vice.
