Smoothies for breakfast and lunch

twill33

I've been doing smoothies for breakfast and lunch and have snack in between. I'm normally not hungry between breakfast and the lunch smoothie but I do get really hungry after the lunch smoothie

I would be too. That doesn't sound like much of a variety and is probably lacking in fat/protein.

Extremely low calorie diets are a set up for failure. Make sure you are getting at least 1,200 or so. Maybe try adding peanut butter to your lunch smoothie?

What do you put in your smoothies? What is your usual snack? I also think that lack of protein and fat is likely an issue here.

Smoothies don't fill me up no matter what's in them. I need to chew. I'll sometimes have one for a snack or for breakfast if I'm not terribly hungry. I would end up in jail if I tried to replace two meals.

Is your digestion okay? That would cause me to be on the toilet all day.

Suggestions:

1. Consider eating something more filling ham a smoothie at lunchtime. Your body may be telling you it needs more for lunch.

2. Or if you want to stick to the lunchtime smoothie, try playing around with your calories and see if you can squeeze in a satisfying snack.

Would you mind showing an example of a days meal plan with a calorie total and line item calories?

I don't know about substituting 2 smoothies for 2 meals every day - is this is a long term diet?
But what kind of smoothies are you making? green? fruit?
How many calories are in that smoothie?
Do you eat anything else throughout the day?

make sure to consume enough calories
you're body's getting hungry because it doesn't have enough of something

3/4 c frozen berry medley - 80 cal
1 banana - 110 cal
Ice for volume - 0 cal
Total cal - 370
