  2. Sure, the fact that you eat light is the reason you end up eating more in evening hours, most people with basal metabolic rate feel less hungry in morning and because they have eaten heavy dinner also contributes,
    I suggest you start eating a very good breakfast with carbohydrate and protein and a fruit within one hour of waking up....kinda wakes up ypur body and I promise in a week your body will want to eat more. Eat salads and lentils for dinner, u cannot overdo those ever.
    Other thing you can also do is drink a protein shake as a snack around 11 am to avoid feeling famished by evening. Hope that will suffice,

  4. I love your motivation.Now about the veggie proteins I have so many requests for that,thing is majority of Indians are vegetarian and their choices are limited and I have been doing some research on this for several months and here is my conclusion: it's essential you buy a protein shake powder with about 3-4 g carbs/sugar and 2-3%fat and at least 20 g protein in one scoop drink atleast 1-2 shakes a day ,other choices are strained fatfree yogurt 1 cup has about 12-15 g protein/soy nuts roasted unsalted/sugar free jelly(make it at home get packets from market)/firm tofu -can be pan grilled and eaten with chat masala or Indian spices-about 10-12gm protein in 2 ounces(big cubes), low fat cheese- laughing cow 1-2 cubes per day/ sprouted moong I cup has about 18 g/ edamame is green soy which is eaten boiled,it maybe available in India / surely available in USA.You see all these can be eaten with greens.Total protein per day is roughly 1 g per kilo, and remember to eat fistful every 4-5 hours. no meal can be skipped.
