When I was talking about my meals, I would say a protein and a vege, or a protein and a fruit or milk or something. I worry I don't get enough veges so on BFL...
I changed the weight workouts - I follow a video and I wanted to change it up so I wasn't doing the same thing for 12 weeks. I'm not sure how I feel about it...
I'm speaking from experience...I used to snack on crackers between meals (pre bfl) and couldn't understand why I was so famished at the next meal. Insulin...
If you're losing fine, keep it the same. If not, you might have to reduce portion sizes since you are smaller. But don't rush to change things if it's worked...
You might want to try having whole foods over shakes and bars--they fill you up and satisfy better. When I"m stressed I have to really concentrate on eating...
