Portion size AND a sweets question
I see the acceptable foods for Phase 1, but I have a question. Is
there anywhere that’s a little more detailed that tells me that I can
have x amount of servings for those foods?
As an example, in Phase 1, it states that portions are unlimited
unless otherwise noted. Well under BEEF one of the acceptable foods
is Bottom Round. It further details that it must be a lean cut,
meaning that it has, per 100 gram portion, 10 grams or less of total
fat and 4.5 grams or less of saturated fat. It does not say how many
servings I may have. If I wanted 2 servings of a piece of beef that
has 10g per serving, that would give me 20g of fat, which is more
than the 10grams that I’m limited to.
Other foods, I’m allowed to have unlimited (e.g. eggs), but there are
others that have restrictions.
I know that I’m supposed to eat a meal until I’m satisfied, but not
full. But are there limitations?
In addition to this question, hypothetically…
Let’s say that I have sugar free gelatin at lunch and 4 pieces of
hard candy throughout the day (all totaling 40 cals). Can I still
have a dessert after dinner or a sugar free fudgcicle that evening?
What is the difference between the 75 sweet calories that I’m allowed
that day and the dessert?
Thanks everyone!
