I seem to be having problems with meal proportions. I have been experimenting with different grains and veggies plus other micro things, but most commonly after I eat, I feel ok, but an hour or two after I eat I feel “empty” or down right hungry. Now my guess is that I must not be eating enough at meals, does this seem true, or is this normal? I hope this is not normal because when I feel hungry I can just think of eating something and tend to want to grab anything in sight, which isn’t very good.
It would be really helpful if someone would list a day of meals that they eat so maybe I could bump it off of what I am eating. I know each individual is different but I really do think an idea of others meal sizes would help me a lot.
Another problem I am having is letting go of that firmly installed belief that I need to drink milk in order to get the correct amount of calcium daily. I haven’t been eating dairy and feel as if any day now a hump will form on my back and I am sure I will get that spine disorder from lack of calcium.
I know that is on the extreme side of things and I also do understand I am getting calcium from veggies ect, that I am eating, it just doesn’t seem like enough, plus it is my understanding that vitamin supplements or pills are not suppose to be taken either. Can anyone tell me how many cups of greens or other foods that must be eaten to maintain a healthy daily calcium amount?
Also I am finding that my kids will not touch greens with a five-foot pole! How am I too give them the healthy amount of calcium if I can’t depend on them getting it from veggies?
Thanks for your patience with beginners on this site. I will keep at the reading to find more info for my unending questions.
