Is it ok that I'm under on protein?

See I'm not low in fat and calories are fine. Maybe I'll get some hummus or avocado. I need something low in fat but higher in protein I guess.

But how much cals/fat are you getting???

you may be too low overall. If you're eating 1200 cals and 30 g fat (which is barest minimum and only something like .05% of all swayers shoudl be getting) then yeah maybe it's hard not to go over that, but you really ought to be eating more.

I've been getting 1400-1500 calories. And I've been actually at my fat ranges or a little bit over. I have been eating meals off (only 2 a day) of the 21 day plan but letting myself have dessert in the evening. Like ice cream,cookies,brownies. Should I stop that? Some nights I've even had a glass of white wine.

Ok then have a look at the reference section at the back of the diet plan book to see if any of those ideas appeal to you.

If 2 meals + dessert is working for you that's fine, just get a bit of protein.

Evne just a couple small pieces of chicken...you don't need to eat a whole breast!

Ok I'll have a look. Thank you so much!

Don't do avocado if you're ok on fat! They have loads of fat and very little protein so will easily put you over if you are already at your fat limits.

Yes exactly - avocados are a great rescue food for people who need everything BUT protein, but if you're the other way round and need protein and nothing else, there are better options.

I also always had the same trouble - not enough protein, ok on everything else. I did better once I was eating beans and peanut butter more regularly than I did at first.
