Feeling full - am I doing something wrong?

[DodgingDoughnuts]

Ok so I'm only on day two of STW.. the way I do it is:

Morning - Shake
Lunch - Shake
Dinner - Meal
Evening - Shake

Yesterday my first day I was absolutely starving. For the main meal I had a chicken breast which I 'stuffed' with an Laughing cow extra light triangle and roasted with some vegetables and boiled spinach. My main meal nutritionally looked like this:

310kcal
Fat : 5g
Total Carbs: 7g
Fiber: 6g
Sugar: 2g
Protein: 55g

Today I haven't had my evening shake yet and I feel absolutely stuffed like I've binge eaten ALL day (which I have not!)
My evening meal today was Ox liver, mushrooms "fried" with ONE spray of fry light and a really good helping of broccoli. It looks like this nutritionally:

325kcal
Fat: 14g
Total Carbs: 5g
Fiber: 10g
Sugar: 2g
Protein: 40g

Am I doing something wrong? What do your evening meals look like in the evening?

Sounds like you are doing it right.

My evening meal has been a piece of steak about the size of the palm of my hand and a pile of salad. I still have one shake to go but am very full too.

Other more experienced STWers may say different though, so don't take my word for it lol

No you're being a textbook dieter. It's really good that you're not feeling hunger. A few days last week I was so full I only had 2 packs and my meal. What's the point of eating if you're not hungry? I do have a good multi vitamin every night that is right for my age so I know I'm not missing out on any of the essentials. x

Thank you! I was starting to get worried.. I was doing it wrong! No idea what to have for tea tomorrow... Although steak sounds tempting!

I'm definitely buying steak tomorrow!

What's your favourite type of steak? We all love fillet but not many can afford it, I love ribeye but it is quite fatty so I opt for sirloin instead.

 

[loopyloulou]

An quite happy with rump (esp. When it is half price) but do love ribeye.

Might have to get the steak out the freezer now for tonight. My tummy is grumbling at the thought of it. Hahaha

 

[Jneedham2000]

I'm on total this week but will be having steak next week. I like rump too lol. If it's steak you can basically guarantee I will like it if it's cooked right lol x what beats braising steak slow cooked? I do it in condensed veggie soup and it makes a lovely gravy to serve with mash.

 

[Jneedham2000]

Chicken soup for me tonight as you're all tucking into your steak! X

I prefer the mental image rather than a physical image. Mind you I have a very good imagination

 

[Jneedham2000]

There's always someone that can top my mental images when I see pictures as described. I must lack culinary creativity lol x
