Some advice?

Hi, I started IF last week and it's going ok. I just wanted to know if you had some advive on meals who are filling without being a tone of calories. I ate mostly chicken and rice this week, but of course I don't want to eat just that. To be able to lose weight I need to eat 1500 calories a day. I'm open to any food really, tough I can't eat citrus fruits and bananas. If you have other advice for a starter not related to food, I'll be more then happy to hear them! Thanks in advance :)

Answer

A big salad with dinner always makes me feel full. I have green leaf lettuce, vine ripened tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, bell pepper, croutons, pepperoncini, feta or cheddar.

I don’t understand why you don’t list veggies in your diet.

Answer

Protein protein protein. That’s what keeps you full.

Fish, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, beef/chicken/pork, shrimp, lentils and beans. Look to base meals around those ingredients and it will really lessen your hunger and cravings while keeping your calories down.

Dinner is chicken, lamb, beef or tofu with veggies or a salad around 600calories.I rarely eat rice or potato or pasta. If I do I just make my portions smaller.I eat around 1200 calories a day.
