[QUOTE="ghost_whistler, post: 1374500, member: 365495"] I'm starting to worry (because of course) that my portion sizes might not be enough, so before proceeding further I need to make sure I'm getting enough. So breakfast will include (veg) 1oz of Kale and half a hass avocado (they are just under 100g whole). Lunch will include some lettuce (i did't measure, probably less than an ounce), and perhaps an oz of cabbage. dinner will include 1oz spinach, possibly a bell pepper (if i have any left, those bags of three are surprisingly dear), 1 mushroom, 2 spears of broccoli (no idea the weight, probably 1oz), and maybe a couple of spears of cauli (i'm going to have some later fried in the butter i just brought as rice). My veg intake is about what it's always been, but i'm cutting back on carbs. I used to include a carrot as well, but although the ones i have remaining aren't that large they don't seem hugely worthwhile. Afterwards i'd have an apple, but those are verboten. Is this enough? How much more should I eat? Bags of veg are all add up £££wise - and the greater the portion size, the greater the carb count (apparently in the UK we list carbs as net carbs, even though the fibre is also listed, i hope that's the case for every product across the board!) Thanks [/QUOTE]
