I love veggies, but I feel hungry 1 hour after if there is no meat at the dinner. and when I take a break from the gym, I still eat a lot of meat because I am loving it and I can't be without it. should I eat more veggies and less meat when I take a break from the gym to not gain weight?

@hennessy I had this problem as well. But then I started to combine smart with other proteins . Maybe this article helps you a little in being creative and not only getting your proteins from meat ;)
All you should know about protein
@annemariemay thank you for this great post, I totaly agree with you!
Thank you! And I love your suggestion about getting protein from a variety of sources! There are tons of healthy ways to get your protein fix and changing it up can help complete a balanced diet! :)
Great question @hennessy! I don't think that you necessarily need to stop eating meat or eat less meat when you aren't working out. I think being mindful about what kind of meat that you are eating is the important part. Just like veggies have an awesome bang for your caloric buck, some meats have less calories per ounce than others. I think that when you aren't going to the gym and you want to keep your weight under control eating lean meats like, chicken, pork tenderloin, and lean ground turkey will hep keep those calories down because they have less fat.
Hope this helps! :)
