Eat some different stuff or you'll burn out. Have a banana, it won't kill you.0

First, you are eating way too little. The recommended absolute minimum intake for men is 1500 calories. You've lost a lot of weight in a very short amount of time and while you likely had a lot to lose, it's dangerous to continue down that path.
Drastic caloric deficits are only safe under strict medical supervision.
What are your stats.
You can get food suggestions in the Low Carbing Group:

20 carbs and 1100 calories? That seems terribly low. I'm going to assume your Doctor gave you this limitation. Did you have WLS? Well, one of my low carb go-to is a tuna salad w/ pumpkin seeds served in a green pepper. The way I make it is 227 calories and 11 carbs. That's over 1/2 your allotment so idk if that will work for you. Still though, it's what I have to offer as a suggestion.0

I'm sorry, but you're burning out because you're eating WAY TOO LITTLE!! As a man, you should at least be eating a MINIMUM of 1500 calories a day. Not 1100. :noway:
There's absolutely nothing wrong with eating some fruit. And truth be told, you can eat whatever foods you'd like as long as they fit within your daily calories.... and I'm pretty sure that MFP didn't give you 1100.0 -
The ONLY way you should eat such a low caloric amount is under DIRECT MEDICAL SUPERVISION AND PRESCRIPTION. What you are asking for is well below the MFP minimum intake for a man.0

A lot of times the weight contributes to that. Have you re-checked since you've lost such an awesome amount? Check the link @PeachyCarol posted, you can do low-carb without going no-carb.
Also - I find a ribeye mighty good tasting, but I know what you mean

That's glycogen replenishment. It's a temporary gain.
There are plenty of people with insulin resistance (carb intolerant). But eating as low calorie as you do with that low of a carb intake is not healthy. Is your doctor advocating this? How is your supervision with the very low calorie diet? How often do you see him? Has he referred you to a dietician?0 -
First off thanks for the concern. Im under DIRECT MEDICAL SUPERVISION . I started at 500lbs and im 6'2" and im now at 365. My DR is keeping an eye on all my levels and so far everything is looking good. I was doing this at first as prep for bariatric surgery but now with the loss im not going to have it. I lost 50 lbs in first mounts 30 in mouth 2 and now im losing about 10 - 15 lbs a month. just getting sick of greems and protein need to find some new ways to put them together.0

Psucato--sounds like a VLFAT diet too.. being low calorie, low fat and no suragor or carbs is severe, but it has worked for yu!!
Low Carbers DO eat FAT…like real butter, fatty meats vs lean, heavy cream vs milk
<30 carbers are eating a "cheesecake" desert 6oz cream cheese , 2 tbl butter..mix together with AS, add lemon flooring/or zest and have "cheesecake'… you can also roll a ball of cream cheese ( 1 tbl) in dry Jello sugar free gelatin, and have an amazing fruity treat
If your MD is not allowing saturated fats there is little you can do, and I'd be sick of just greens and meat..but this will be your life especially f you stay at VL calories and the body gets used to so little. hopefully you are raising calories SOME time??0 -
What do your meals look like? How about taco's wrapped in lettuce, baked tomato egg cups, baked ziti using sliced zucchini instead of noodles.. etc. If you could tell me how you are preparing your food now maybe I can help with some ideas? Are you willing to open your dairy? Congrats on your recent loss. Also talk with Dr's maybe they can help you with idea's0

It's irresponsible to give him bog-standard advice since he's under direct medical supervision.
OP, I am so relieved to hear you're working with a medical team! I would strongly recommend speaking with your nutritionist. If your foods are limited, it might be easier if you could list what you can eat, and the more creative cooks can give you some ideas on what to do with them.
Anything beyond that is really more than what you should be asking here.
Congratulations on your success so far!

OP - awesome success….but I agree with the others that you should talk to your DR about some other foods that u can incorporate into your diet.
what is a sample menu of what you have been eating?0
