Hi Kathleen,

My protein goal is 33 grams for breakfast. My weight is over 300.

My breakfast yesterday was oatmeal with 1/2 scoop protein powder (doctored up with some coconut and mini chocolate chips sprinkled on top). Along with that I had two scrambled eggs with a slice of American cheese in them and coffee.

Today when I made my oatmeal I recalculated the protein grams and I think I was shorting myself a little. I had 2 boiled eggs, a banana instead of coconut on the oatmeal. I added 3/4 of a scoop of protein powder. So that was 15+12+5 =32.

: I am glad you posted. I think the
: discouragement is simply
: biocemical.

: If you are on step one, and judging
: your day as if you should be on
: step 6, you will be discourgaed.
: You didn't share what you had for
: breakfast. My intuition is that
: you may not have had enough.

: And if you only had salad for lunch,
: of course you would have had the
: cookies. That is what we do.
: And if you only had salad and cookies
: for lunch, of course you were
: still hungry.

: Share what you are having for
: breakfast. Check in about how much
: you weigh and what protein you are
: shooting for
: and we can share about moving to step
: 2 :). In reality, you are simply a
: sugar addict, and that is why you
: are here.

: Reaching out is wonderful! We can
: help.
