I'm not trying to save it for dinner and I'm not getting enough calories. I eat 4oz greek yogurt with fruit and a little granola for breakfast (~22g), 5-8oz chicken/tuna/pork with fruit for lunch(~40-50g) and then try to eat whatever will get me all the way there for dinner(~50-60g). I added some cheese and other stuff for snacks but the portions for meals fill me up more than I thought they would and I'm never really hungry. Before I would have pasta or something with dinner that added calories easily, but the plan was to do fruit and veg intead. Right now, I eat as much of the protein as I can and only eat a little of the veg before I feel really full.
I'm not trying to make excuses or anything. I never thought it would actually be hard to eat food. I was on a intermittent fasting routine before this so I don't know if that is part of the reason I fill up so fast. I'm gonna get the protein powder and do something like pen is saying.
