So now I've read a little bit about Glycemic Load and I need to plan my meals as 10, 5, 10, 5, 10. Will explain more later. But this meal plan was a bit more scientific:
| Timing | What I ate |
| Breakfast | 2 toast, peanut butter, 75g pineapple. (eat protein first) |
| Snack | Strawberries |
| Lunch | Protein: 94g chickpeas Starch Veg: 50 g Brown Rice Veg: Lettuce, tomato |
| Snack | ½ pear, 8 almonds, 2 strawberries, 2 cheese crackers, 2 grapes |
| Supper | Protein: 1 lamb chop Starch Veg: 2 baby potatoes (74g) Veg: Broccoli,tomato |
| Drinks | 7 water |
I only found out after breakfast that I can't eat 2 pieces of wholewheat toast! Only 1 is allowed. Or better still, eat rye toast. Or even better... oat cakes!
Note the afternoon snack. I went to a baby shower and felt obliged to eat something. I actually was really not hungry and felt very satisfied by my lunch and the planned snack of a pear and almonds.
I got a headache in the afternoon that got worse and worse as the day progressed and I was just too happy to get into bed.
