What does eggs or tuna have to do with coworkers.....screw them and what they have to say about what you eat!
Unless your burning this stuff up in the microwave....thats just rude!
Lmafo, they don't care so much. But eggs can send a bad smell, and tuna and rice fried needs Abit of heat to enjoy better0 -
I'm highly disappointed in the macro split of this so-called high carb diet. I thought the new trend on MFP would be to eat nothing but white bread and hard candy. I love eggs but if they don't fit your diet don't eat them.4

think the point was that thats a pretty average amount of carbs and high carb tripped people up lol. My general diet is 75-80% carbs and i dont consider my diet high carb xD0 -

Maybe they think I am going out, buying McDonald's and eating chips.
Pretty much just making carbs my higher then my fat intake1 -

Scrambled eggs are sooooooo tasty.
You are my food twin. I go through 4-5 doz a week. I do separate them and eat mostly whites. That lets me eat more
the fat in the yolks is a significant increase in cals.
But the yolk is sooooo tasty.0 -

I can get away with one yolk maybe two , but not 41 -

That sounds a bit high in fat.0 -

If you feel strongly about keeping those macros, you could look at cutting fat elsewhere to fit in more delicious egg yolks (or just eat more of the whites).
I love eggs, but the whites alone don't appeal to me, and throwing away perfectly good food makes me sad. I'd bulk up an omelet with the carton egg whites if I wanted to increase protein without increasing fat, however -- might be worth a try.
It's a percentage 50%c and 20%f and 30%p, so every meal try to keep the percent within as within my calories.
Yes I don't want to throw out food, I would buy them cartons of whites.
Yeah, I know, I just wrote it stupidly. My mistake.
50 g would be keto, I was talking about 50%, although I didn't say that.
50% is not high carb, typical carb is something like 40-65%, so it's in the middle, really, and the MFP default.
I wouldn't think you'd need to make every meal that ratio, but whatever works for you.0 -

I just typed in what I wanted my percentage, so if it MFP default then it's probably not hard to make it close to a MFP default.
And every meal I try to keep close, clearly it's out abit or I would have to eat same thing each meal, and weigh each meal the same0 -
I don't really worry about percentage of carbs vs. fat, just protein, but often I have meals that vary a lot.
Used to have low carb/high fat breakfasts -- something like a 2 egg omelet with lots of vegetables, some smoked salmon or low fat cottage cheese on the side. Then maybe a lower fat/higher carb lunch -- bean chili with lots of veg on rice. And then a middle of the road dinner (roasted chicken (skin on!), sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts and cauliflower). Just a sample.
If you wanted to fit in more fat at breakfast you could do something like that.
4 eggs with the yolks is probably harder to balance than my two, though, so if you enjoy the carton egg whites, that might be a good option.0 -
haha. Still giggling at myself for eating 14 egg whites near daily. Used to think thats to much and fight it, But really my protein cakes are basically solid protein meals so why not XD1

I stick with choosing a higher carb or fat, never have both the same protein stays the same.

Weightloss is down to calorie deficit, not macro split.
Yes calories are important, you want to be burning off more calories in a day then you eat.
When eating carbs that help with insulin. Insulin increases you metabolism to burn more overall calories. Carbs when digested into your system turn into glycogen which is basically energy for your muscles.
If you are trying to talk about the Thermic effect of food and macros, you are 100% wrong. Carbs and fats have low effect with Protein having nearly 5 times the effect of carbs.0 -

Protein is clearly gonna be better, but I didn't say I was just gonna do a mad protein diet, plus to much protein will turn into fat, and can do alot more if you over do it, why we want carbs and fat in place for a diet. Reason I choose 30%c 20%f 30%p .4 -
High carb to me is 60%+. I actually raise my dietary fat in a calorie deficit and lower my carbs. Weight gain is where I increase carbs and go back to moderate fat.
It all comes down to a calorie deficit at the end of the week no matter how you split macros up. Nutritionally and effects on our body is a different story. For fat loss, dietary fat actually enhances your body's ability to burn fat and it also keeps you hormonally healthy while you are losing weight. It helps set the stage for optimal fat loss, insulin is released in proportion to the amount of carbs consumed, this effects nutrient partitioning, etc etc.
Meeting protein (calories from protein has the highest TEF about 30%, and very satiating) and letting carbs and fat fall accordingly (for proper energy balance in line with your goals and exercise) as protein is your muscle insurance for preventing muscle loss as you lose weight.
But on the topic of eggs, love eggs. I mix whites and whole eggs, or whole eggs help me meet dietary fat and have more flavor.1 -

Only if you go over your maintenance calories. As with any macro.2 -

Protein is actually the least macro that will turn into fat... eating too many of any macro will cause fat gain.1 -
