I don't think you are getting enough protein at the reward meal.

After the two cups of salad greens, your reward meal should be divided into thirds:

one-third is PROTEIN
another third is a low-carb veggie
the last third is your carb of choice.

I'm positive that if you were to go to the USDA website and get your total carb counts, that you are way over in carbs, and way under on protein.



For instance, lentil curry is HIGH carb, and then you have a piece of turkish bread which is HIGH carb, and you also have banana bread which also is HIGH CARB.

You're are not suposed to have more that ONE high carb selection, and it is only permitted during the reward meal.

I occasionally eat a serving of beans or lentils, but I have a serving of MEAT - high PROTEIN and a serving of cooked LOW-carb veggies, like green beans or spinach.

For ANY high-carb selection at your reward meal, you must balance it off with a HIGH-PROTEIN meat or fish, and a LOW CARB vegetable.

I suggest that you get ahold of the CALP book, it should be at your public library.
