I eat 30g protein at breakfast

I learned a “30/30” rule. That means I eat 30 grams of protein within 30 mins of waking up.

That would look like, maybe 2 or 3 eggs and some toast, and a cup of milk. Or beans or some other form of plant protein.

The key thing is protein first, and next slow digesting carbs (whole grains…oats, bread, rice), rather than sweets.

I think it works because 30mg of protein is supposed to, according to an article I read, fill you up…also eating protein burns calories.

During the rest of the day, I feel less hungry and eat less at each meal.

Another approach I take is to eat 25-30g protein at each meal. And every day I usually eat around 4 evenly spaced meals.

Noon, 3, 6 and 9pm, and Midnight

I eat when I feel hungry.

Within a meal:
First protein, next fat, next (complex) carbs.

How many calories do you eat in a day? That seems like a lot of food.

It’s called the “Slow-carb diet”. Before I’ve been low carb, but I feel it was harmful to my mood.

I feel eating some carbs helps me be less anxious and stressed less.

“Stress” = breakdown, breakdown demands repair, repair comes in the form of better diet and self care etc

For me, even within a workout, stress should be under control…and doesn’t beg and emphasis

For me, a rule is, leave afterthoughts in the workout. I.e., don’t work toward “pain” or something such…as pain is not a stimulus for strength or growth…

That’s stupid…”work”…”nourishment” or “adaptation” or maybe “effort”…for me those words seem like a better aim

It sounds an interesting approach. I’m doing a scientific Australian approach so it’s about 100 gs of protein in a serve and just the 3 meals a day. Doing all right with it so far. Do what works for you is probably the better approach.

Wow! Sounds like a lot of protein. What does a typical meal look like?

…Idk…I tend to eat whenever I feel hungry…

Counting calories doesn’t feel right…more importantly, I try and make sure every calorie is from a quality source.

Eg, if I want to reap the benefits of antioxidants in dark leafy greens, then I make sure to eat at least a cup of spinach a day…

Ultimately, a cup of spinach alongside other healthy foods, I’ve found, seems to be high quality, and very filling, as far as the micronutrient contribution of fulfilling my daily recommended intakes for certain minerals, such as magnesium
