Default Quick calorie and portion size question

Hi I'm just finishing my 4th day of induction and feel good. I just have a quick question regarding portion sizes. Pretty much everyday my meals have looked like this:

Breakfast

Scrambled Egg - 3 Eggs, teaspoon of margarine, cup of spinach

Lunch

1 Cup of Lettuce, 250 gram Chicken Breast or can of tuna, 2 tablespoons olive oil

Dinner

350 gram beef steak, 2 tablespoons margarine, 0.2 cup of thick cream, 1 cup of cauliflower

If I have a snack then it is normally 2 oz cheese

I am also drinking loads of water - like 120 oz per day


The steaks im eating are really big but Im not overly full when im finished - I mean I am full but not stuffed!

The calorie intake for this is pretty high but my fat / protein / carb are almost spot on. I was just wondering if I am actually eating way too much though?? Any advice or re-assurance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Ross

PS: for the record I am 5'11, 216lb if thats important

Default Re: Quick calorie and portion size question

If that is the amount of food that satisfies your hunger and you aren't "stuffed", then that is the correct amount for you.

If you look at the recipes in the back of the book, the egg servings are 1-2 eggs and the meat servings are 3-9 ounces.

Thanks for the advice guys, I think that I will reduce the meat portion sizes down a little bit - that way if im still hungry after i finish my dinner I can always have a bit more. Weighed myself this morning (day 5) and I have actually lost just under 7lbs!! Amazing! Ive also lost almost 2 inches from my waist, which is great but all my jeans are falling down!!

Love this WOE!!

Thanks
