I'd just rather not fire up the grill everynignt haha. I have no problem with cold protein, in fact much prefer it. Just not cold white fish like cod or white trout. I surely don't enjoy cooking like I used to but know how to simplify everything and no need for 80 ingredients and reductions etc. The last thing I invented was a gravy at thanksgiving and the only carbs were in mushrooms asa that was the base and thickener. It really was great but took me an entire cocktail to get it right. Haha. We were eating it with a spoon. It's a great soup base too.Maybe you just have to alter some foods or portions in your go-to meals. Surprisingly lettuce raises me far higher than it should. Some say mushrooms. It's all personal. Are you testing after meals? How low carb are you? It doesn't seem like you're too far from your goals so just a little tweaking might be in order. Like the exchange of one veg for another or reducing portions of something and adding something different. Even eating smaller meals 4 times a day rather than two bigger ones. It's a nasty disease for most of us but there are often ways to tweak things to get to where you want to be.I often make a chopped salad with no lettuce. Chopped chicken or turkey ( or whatever) chopped avocado, onion, celery, some herbs and drizzle with olive oil. It would fit into a one cup measuring cup or maybe even less. Full of nutrition and satietimg. Or I'll chop asparagus and brussel sprouts. I don't mind cooked cold veggies in the least. Then I split that meal at noon and three. As you know just avocado bf but dinner is a bit larger. About the size of my lunch but not split. Too much food in my stomach is never good for me.Often I'm eating the same foods just rearreanging the presentation haha. I am a weird one in that I have a bit of a dinnerware feddish. I buy different plates, bowls, glasses as they too make my food look different. I know, I'm weird. Keeps me from feeling backed into a corner. I do eat the same amount of protein, fat and carbs at each meal but I use different foods.I think for you you just have to change some macros around. I forgot, are you also looking to lose weight ? How high/low are your carbs? Do you know how much protein you eat? Are you eating enough fat? Are you hungry often?Not to fear, it takes awhile to get it all right.I like the new avatar too. Made me laugh when I saw it in larger form. Looks a little funky small. I'll probably be switching back or looking for a new one.</blockquote>
