[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've found that I need snacks in between meals to hit my protein target.  And you need a solid source of protein in all 3 of your main meals.

Breakfast- egg whites

Snack- protein shake

Lunch- chicken

Snack- siggys nonfat yogurt

Dinner- fish

Then you can plan what you are going to eat with the protein by looking at the macros you need or need to avoid...[/quote]

This ^^^ reminds me of the 1980's-90's Snackwells era type of eating.  You NEED fat! Where the hell is the fat in this diet ^^^? Egg whites? Yolks are where all of your nutrients are. Nonfat yogurt? Why? Chicken for lunch - what just a slab of chicken breast on a lonely plate - no fiber, no veg? Same for your fish for dinner.  [/quote]

DP but her point is that she plans her protein then just adds fat and carbs each meal .  Protein is the important macro to hit so she preplans that and the rest falls into place more easily. And this way her protein is distributed throughout the day and she’s not chugging protein shakes and egg whites at 8pm. [/quote]
