As a plant-based eater, my diet is full of veggies, some fruit and whole grains, and tons of nuts and seeds. I get plenty of carbs and healthy fats, but I wasn't getting enough protein. This made my meals feel less satiating, so I ended up eating more during my eight-hour window, which resulted in weight gain.
When I tracked my calories on MyFitnessPal, I realised I was barely getting in 50 grams of protein. My dietitian said to aim for 70 to 100 grams, and as soon as I upped my protein, my appetite felt more balanced, and I was able to lose weight.
