Mixing up the carbs, protein and fat is essential to a
balanced diet. And, yes, protein and even fats (olive oil,
almonds, walnuts, peanuts, avocado) help keep you satiated.
We tend to burn through carbs faster and they don't tend to
last as long.
I don't mean to lecture because I am no longer journaling
regularly but only did that months after reaching goal and
pretty much have my daily routine and PORTIONS under
control. But by Journaling I did learn portions and how much
food I need as oppose to want. I also learned protein/carb
proportions.
You can add three points (3 pts) by just adding one
TABLESPOON of oil or a couple of nuts during the day. So be
careful, it does not take much to add those 3 points (G)
