It's sooooo hard to figure out how your body works and what it wants doesnt want as far as numbers of carbs protiens and fats......i;ve been at it for a mere 3 months and im still having trouble finding out what my body really wants! :grumble: does anyone else feel this way? :ohwell:

I dont think Im quite understanding you...But I do know if I go over on sodium just a little bit I bloat and go up 2-3lbs it holds water in my body badly....Carbs if Im incorporate more complex carbs than simple than I'll be okay and Ive been going over on protein and been just fine with it...Im starting to build more muscle tone.

i just meant how many calories your body really needs and what type of meals u need like some people are all set with a 4:1 carb to protien ratio......personally i cant eat carbs unless they come from natural sources like fruits and veggies.....otherwise i end up gaining a lot of weight......with the exception of low cal breads and wraps (whole wheat ofcourse)....or just certain foods in general.....lol shoot now im confusing myself :laugh: :laugh:

My problem is my body doesn't feel full when I eat lots of protein. Everyone says eat protein to fill you up, well...it just doesn't work for me! I'm starting to discover that high protein with just a small portion of carbs each meal fills me up. The carbs fill me and the protein keeps me full until my next meal. What a struggle!:grumble: lol

fiber filled vegetables might work too,,, im starving by the end of the meal if i only have protien even if its 8 oz's lol...but i found a cup of brocoli does wonders
