Hi Cathy,

Great that you are keeping up with breakfast!

Since you are breastfeeding, are you including planned snacks? That is one way to get more food in during the day, without adding to your meal time.

It is hard to know if you are getting enough protein unless we know how much you weigh. And again, including a protein / carb snack will help you get in that extra food since you are nursing.

: Hi
: my names Cathy a few weeks ago i was
: ready to start step 3. I had
: completed the breakfast class and
: the journaling and it was going
: really well. i am still having
: breakfast everyday within an hour
: with protein and a brown, but not
: journalling . I am also
: breastfeeding a toddler, so i
: recently went over to the
: breastfeeding group and Kathleen
: suggested more browns. I tryed to
: increase my browns and i felt sick
: from to much food.

: I have been trying to get steady for
: along time know and it just hasn't
: happened, i think i don't eat
: enough. When Kathleen suggested
: more browns i went away and
: thought i don't need that much
: food, how could i possible eat
: that much, how can any ones body
: need that much food?

: You know i sit at home and try to
: work out what i need to do, i need
: to let go of trying to control
: this. I'm am just so fearful of
: getting fatter, i have put on 12
: kgs since having my baby and it
: really scares me.

: So i will just post my breakfast

: 300ml oat milk
: 4og pure whey isolate (38g) protein
: 1/2 cup (dry weight) steel cut oats
: natural yogurt
: blueberrie
: walnuts

: I really struggle to eat in the
: morning i feel sick. I don't
: normally finsh all the oats.

: I guess my question is am i having
: enough protein? When i did the
: breakfast class i started using
: .6g of protein per pound of body
: weight,but i seen over at the
: pregnancy group they suggest .8 to
: 1g protein per pound of body
: weight. Not sure what i should do.

: also how do you know if your having
: enough browns, and how do i add
: more browns if you are already
: really full after breakfast.

: Thanks Cathy
