Hi everyone,
When I first read the THM book I figured I'd be an 'all S day' or 'all E day' person. I tend, like most people I think, to like S meals more. Since starting the plan a few weeks ago I've discovered that I feel the best physically when I have an E meal at least once a day. E meals really live up to their name and I found myself getting really tired on my S days.
What about you guys?

Being pregnant, I really need to have at least one E meal a day.
However, even when I'm not pregnant I seem to not be able to lose weight if I don't add in my E meals... my body seems to need a break from all those good fats at least once a day... although I will occasionally have an all S day. I also will occasionally have an all E day. My body responds well to the switch when I do a full day of one or the other every so often.

I just go with what I feel like. I don't typically do solo fuel days though.

I find that E meals once a day are a must for me and having a FP meal (not just a snack) occassuonally, really helps get the overstuffed/overfueled feeling dealt with and ready for whatever I choose next. Nursing 7 month old baby so FP are working well. It's an adjustment going from no FP for over a year and now making them a priority again.

I do mainly what I feel like, but I do try to get at least an E meal or snack a day. I think my body needs that as well.

I usually plan everything out before I go grocery shopping for the week. I try to eat at least one E meal a day either at breakfast or lunch (mixing up my carb source - oatmeal, Ezekiel bread, sweet potato, etc) and at least one FP snack. Other snack varies between S, E and FP depending on timing of other meals and activities. E's are good before a workout, FP's are good if we're having an early dinner but still need a snack between lunch and then. Other than that, I just try to mix it up between light, heavy, and deep S, and mix up my veggie and protein sources throughout the week so I'm getting a variety of tastes, textures, and nutrients. (I really like the presentation of food and like to have different colors on my plate.) I try not to do too much dairy either, usually only once a day.
