First two days......how do these meals look. Some input please page

[AJGoose]

Guys, Need some input. Tell me if this is OK for a primal start.

Day 1.
Protein Shake with tblspoon olive oil

3 Hard boiled Eggs

3 cooked eggs with bacon

1 orange

4 strawberries

handfull of cashews

2 grad fed beef patties topped with provolone (i know the cheese isnt strictly primal)
1 cup of brussells sprouts sauteed in bacon and butter


Day 2.

3 eggs with bacon

2 hard boiled eggs

handfull almonds

protein shake w/ olive oil

3 starwberries

6 scallops fried in nutter from grass fed cows.
1 cup brussels sprouts sauteed in bacon and butter

both days MFD has the calorie count at around 2100

is this a good start....or go with more.

my goal is weight loss

[Sandra in BC]

Are you hungry? Do you wait for hunger before you eat? Do you eat until satiated/satisfied? Are you snacking, and if so, why?

Everything but the protein shake looks primal to me.

[AJGoose]

pretty much have just been eating when hungry...... no real snacking. last night the strawberries and nuts were snacks.

yeah i dont like the protein shake. its in there for convenience. Im actually not going to have the shake today.

instead im going to have some grass fed beef because my calories were only 1100 on fit day without it.

is the cheese allright to include. ive heard mixed things

I see eggs, bacon, fruit, nuts, meat and some veges and cheese. All sounds primal to me.

The amount needed will depend a lot on your activity level as well as on your goals in relation to your current condition. Oops just noticed your goal is weight loss. In that case I would up the veges and drop the nuts, also go easy on the fruit and cheese.

[AJGoose]

Yes, I figured as much.

Ill only have cheese once a day, when I have grass fed beef(which isnt every day)
strawberries onnce or twice a day, and maybe an orange before i go workout, just to get an energy hit.

here is the thing. Ive been getting under 2k calories for the past 5 days....under 50 grams carbs....well under. And I havent been hungry. even after workouts. Should I eat more for the sake of it, or if it im am feeling satisfied, just go along with it
