What a Difference a Scale Makes

[Fleur de lis 2]

So for a while now I've been wondering why I don't ever really feel full after eating, even when taking care to eat Protein first.

Then the other day I decided to actually weigh out my protein. Well, hello. Turns out I was eating wayyyyyyyy less protein that I should have been. I know you're probably thinking, duh, how else are you supposed to determine 4 oz? But for some reason I thought that I could eyeball it. Usually, I was eating about half of a chicken breast and then when I weighed out 4 oz, it was actually more than half.

So to those of you starting out your journey, I would absolutely recommend using your scale, or getting one if you don't already have one.

you may want to check with your nut becuase in most plans 4 oz means volume like 1/2 cup not 4 oz in weight.

I did. She said weight. Which I thought would be too much, but as long as I take my time and do it slowly, I feel okay.

My nut also said I should aim for 3-4 oz Protein by weight per meal.
