Hi Everyone, I have been lurking on this forum for a while and am beginning the BFL program. I have a question regarding food and meals - my program was lower body workout today, and I did a very intense workout for 1 hour 15 minutes including a 5 minute cardio warmup and about 10 minutes of abs. I worked out on an empty stomach (first thing in the morning - was up at 6:00, had a coffee and at gym by 7:15) and then I had my first meal at 9:30 - lo-carb whey protein drink from GNC plus a Carb-Rite bar - 14 g protein, 2 net carbs. I had lunch at 1:00 - a small pork chop and salad with 1/4 avocado, cherry tomatoes (5), soy cheese shreds (1/4 cup), blanched sliced almonds (2 tbsp), mixed greens (romaine, raddicchio) - 1 1/2 cups - and 1.5 tbsp mayo for dressing.

For afternoon snack I will have 1/4 cup 2% cottage cheese and 1/4 cup blueberries. Not sure what dinner will be but will probably be another leftover pork chop, broccoli OR cauliflower with shredded soy cheese and salad. Then snack at night will be 1 large stalk celery with either natural peanut butter or low-fat cream cheese.

I've been drinking lots of water - about 8 - 10 cups already today.

My question is, I am dizzy right now - it is about 1/2 hour since I ate my lunch - did I eat enough? My portion sizes seem right, but would like some feedback from you experts :-) who have been doing this for a long time - you can see my workout in detail in my gym log if you care to.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Laura
