Nutrition advice

autumnbelle

So I'm trying to be healthier, I've cut out carbs and sugar (well trying to) But I am finding I'm full but not eatting enough can anyone advise me? This is what I ate today Breakfast raspberries lunch beef slices tomatoes, blackberries and natural yoghurt dinner, turkey burger two boiled eggs mushy peas and earlier I had some cashews. I am struggling for lunch ideas

need to eat a lot more food, and a lot more good fats.

Read Nutrition101 - and use this simple meal plan

Breakfast - Egg omellete with anything (mushrooms / cheese / ham / chicken /peppers ). Or Greek Yoghurt with chopped hazelnuts and some fresh berries (prefer frozen but Hep A issues apparently).

Lunch - Meat with loads of green vegetables or salads (spinach / cabbage / broccoli / bak choi / lettuce / chard / kale) - Feel free to dress this with plenty of olive oil or sautée it in butter.

Dinner - See lunch idea, eat something along these lines again.

Snacks - Avocado / nuts / meat / cheese / more salads etc

You are not eating anywhere near enough food at present. Increase your intake of healthy real foods asap.

If you are looking to increase healthy fats, as inTheTrees said, nuts are great. Make sure you get the raw ones though rather than salted. Dunnes and Supervalue both sell them where I am.

For example, walnuts (25g) provide 16g of fats, cashews 12g and Brazil nuts 17g (All three also provide 4g of protein and 2g-3g fibre).

Olives and avocados are also great sources of fat that are suitable for snacking.

To be honest though, what I do is just eat larger meals, with plenty of green veg, and then I don't "snack" at all. (I find this way way easier to keep to by adopting intermittent fasting style eating habits)
