Hey everyone! Good luck on your first day of the challenge!
Ive been following a paleo diet for about a year now...so I am going to try to do group B and really focus on tracking what I am eating.
Here we go!
7 am Breakfast:
3 eggs (cooked with grass-fed butter)
1/2c lean ground turkey with chopped sweet onion
1/2 avocado
Sprinkle of sea salt
12oz black coffee
16.9oz water
(im going to try to keep an idea of how much water im drinking daily because I dont think I drink enough at all, and I know it affects me, because Ill end up going long enough without water that I get sick to my stomach or dizzy. I just have a hard time remembering!)

Oops...
1/23/14
For the day....
1,625 calories
102g protein
125g carbs
83g fat
Im going to be aiming for 100g protein, 100g carbs and 92g fat.. and about 1,635 calories.
Wendy does this sound right? My lean mass was just under 100lbs. And the body fat tester told me to aim to lose 8lbs fat ir gain 8lbs lean mass. Just want to make sure im eating enough of each appropriately!

Great! When you are taking in a higher glycemic carb like a plantain or banana, make sure to eat a protein with it to balance the insulin spike.

Meant to say though...that fat kept me feeling great all day! My energy level was wonderful and it kept me full for a good
/normal amount of time. Usually i get hungry between meals!

It's all looking fantastic - great job. If you're going over on fat, just adjust the portion sizes a tad.
