LE everything

[JoJo1984]

I’m just now getting my head around the LE diet. So it’s best to have 2 meals a day, but still keep to 1500 calories- that means those two meals are quite high in calories. I tend to stick around 300-400 calories a meal if not less normally.
750 calories meal is a pretty big meal. Especially when limiting protein (meat) and fats. I’d love to hear some meal suggestions.
I just struggle to workout what type of meal is vegetarian that can have that many calories...

JoJo - you can eat 3 meals a day. Atomic says 2 or 3 is completely fine and lots of people do 3. I swayed for 10 months (pregnant now but probably going to miscarry), and found it too hard to do 2 meals a day, 1.) because it left me too hungry, and 2.) because I found it really hard to get enough fat/calories/protein in for the whole day without feeling like I was gorging during those two meals.

2 OR 3 meals, both are equally acceptible, do whichever works better for you.

I always had 3, although I must admit I could easily eat 750 cals of vegetarian food in one sitting and go back for seconds LOL.

I try to keep some flexibility in the eating schedules since we are all different and need different eating patterns for school/work/child schedules.

I posted a photo above of the lunch I had today- two cruskets with generous cottage cheese and three mini tomatoes, plus a smoothie- low fat milk, cocoa, 1/2 cup frozen strawberries and one sachet of equal.

Is this a good girl friendly lunch?

It was easy and quick which is great for me.

Also one more question- if I have a small coffee in the morning does that qualify as breakfast and then effect my “intermittent fasting??”
I ask because I usually skip breakfast as a norm but have a coffee around 8/9am...

If it does count as breakfast - I was thinking of finishing eating at 7pm then start eating again at 9 (I don’t think I can wait longer to have my coffee)- then at least it would count as 14hours of no eating...

Thoughts atomic?

Appreciate your insight

It's fine, I can't tell based on one meal if you're getting enough food though.

Coffee in the morning does not count and we virtually all did that. Living without coffee in the morning is a step too far LOL.

Thanks Emshe

Wow Aromic, I just read (mostly read but skimmed a little) the essay you wrote on maternal dominance etc/Marty/Martha etc- gee its helped me a lot!
My new plan is to sway for longer than I initially planned. I was going to start trying in May but I’m going to gather the info over the next week or so and then stop obsessing and just get into the routine of the lifestyle change (which to be honest I want for sooo many more reasons). I’ve started Really enjoying the hour of exercise a day, an eating mainly vegetarian with the exception of a little chicken here and there.

Would you be open to reviewing my sway once it’s Locked in?

I will return when I get my BFP. I plan to do the harmony test so that I know the gender ASAP.
