6.4

I'm trying to fix what seems to be a dawn phenomenon (this was taken at 4:10 am).
All my before-lunch are into the 5.0 -5.5 range (and they even include having had morning snacks of either almonds or pepitas)

For supper last night, I had 3 medium-sized roasted chicken thighs, 2 cups tabbouleh (the last of it), and about 1/3 cup cauliflower. That was at 5 pm.

I think my portions at supper time should be smaller - cutting back to no more than 2 chicken and 1 cup tabbouleh.
