    1. You could stand to add more protein, like eggs with the breakfast and something with the apple like some lunch meat and some nuts. Great to see you at lunch today!

    1. You are doing great, however I don't see much fat...if you are hungry or low on energy you should try things like avacado,olive oil, nuts and nut butters and see if that fills in some of the caloric gaps.

    1. Nice job, Kevin. If possible try doing the morning WOD on an empty stomach (water and coffee only) so that the body will have no choice but to use our stored fat as energy. Then Post WOD have a convienient mix of carb and protein. Also if you are able to sub in some mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes they are less glycemic and will also allow the body to use stored fat as energy rather than the excess stored carbs. All in all though you are making great progress!

    2. Yeah I can't do mashed anything even potato. Something about the texture. Never have lol, but all great advice regardless of my gag reflex issue.

    1. Glad to hear the hydration is helping! I would like to see you add some fat also. The craving for sweets will lessen if you can cause satiety from getting enough calories. Fat is very high in cals and a little bit goes a long way to help stay more full, and at night you won't feel so many cravings.
