Do you do best on small meals/snacks? (rather than 3 larger meals) What are examples? (how many cups veggies/ ounces protein/ grams of carbs) How many times a day do you eat them? At the end of the day, how many ounces of protein, cups of veggies do you estimate you consume? How many calories do you estimate? Do you need more fat than SWAMI recommends?

Thanks Henriette Bsec, Thank you, How big are her protein servings? 2 oz? 6 oz? None of that seems overly large. I do best higher fat as well. Does she eat any other carbs other than the fruit? I do not. Doesn't sound like that many calories but it's probably in the fat 175kg=385 #'s, is that right?

Lol yes . I am metric. Her bmi is aprox 21 and since she is medium build I would say rather slim.
Protein size 2 eggs or 3-4 oz meat or fish.. She is not a big fish eater. No we were a bt surpriced about her calories but I guess the lack in general of starch, sugar and fruitjuices = less calories.

Thanks! I lack suger, starch, juice etc too. I actually thought the calories seemed high for the foods listed. I eat about the same way but I am a fish eater and am closer to 1200, sometimes less. I try to eat more but don't feel as well doing that. I guess my foods are all nutrient dense so I'm not going to get hung up on calories! Glad she's not 385!!!
