Eating my macros
46yo female with T2 diabetes. Just came off Mounjaro (prescribed specifically to combat high A1C) after reaching my doctor recommended weight and A1C. I'm trying to get the proper nutrients but it's been challenging.
Aiming for 50/30/20 carbs, protein, fat%, and 25gm of fiber.
For breakfast I made the following:
2 large eggs
1/3 cup regular cottage cheese
1 Morningstar Farms Spicy Blackbean Burger patty
1 tbsp Chia seeds mixed with 3 tbsp Roasted Green Chili Salsa
All scrambled together.
Macros: 24g Carbs, 23.5g Fat, 32.8g Protein (21/50/29%) 444 calories.
I can't eat it all. I barely got a third of it down and I'm so full. How do people eat the appropriate amount of nutrients when the meals are so filling? I know I could leave off the chia seeds but even then, it's so much food.
Looking for advice, discussion, recommendations.
