    IF can definitely help to shake things up, good luck with that this week! Have you done any fasting before?

    I’ve been doing CICO and using macrofactor to help. I like it a lot so far even though it’s a bit expensive. (I just started with macrofactor in June, I was previously using chronometer intermittently).

    I’ve noticed that every so often I am just HUNGRY. Other days I’m fine. I can’t always seem to correlate it with anything like carb vs protein intake or my period though. The good news is that the next day I’m usually not as hungry (for example 2 days ago I ate 2200 calories and yesterday only 1600, my goal is around 1800-1900 so it’s not that far off when you average it out).

    I HAVE been having a really hard time in general reaching my protein goals, even when it’s set to “low” protein. It’s really hard for me to reach anything above about 80g and my target is 120-150g. Protein-rich foods are just really not some of my favorite foods and (for example) I would greatly prefer a bowl of cereal with blueberries instead of eggs and veggies and/or any kind of meat/sausage.

    My goal this week is to just keep tracking and stay curious to see what I can learn about how my body responds to different foods and to different stresses at work.
