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. 0 -
lol I feel bad for this OP. I don’t do a high carb diet so I don’t know the struggles, but I guess one of the biggest ones might be trying to explain that you do, in fact, want carbs1

Nah. You could say it's the opposite of a keto diet.Wingsont84 wrote: »I am trying to run a high carb diet, with a good protein intake also, and less fat. Guess you can say it's keto kind of diet.
Composing your own diet is cool. But the rest you are saying does not make sense.Wingsont84 wrote: »I wasn't trying to do a keto diet, I am actually taking on my own diet. High carbs low fat, and protein, I have never looked up on keto diet, just figured by Barry saying is was somewhat like keto.
I stick with choosing a higher carb or fat, never have both the same protein stays the same.
What's what? 50C/20P/30F is MFP's default split.Wingsont84 wrote: »My diet right now run 50/20/30, so far down 9 lbs
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.9 -
50c/20f/30p0

50 g carbs isn't really high carb, but those macros are reasonable and it's nice to see someone not scared of carbs. 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.3 -
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!0 -

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.

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

That sounds a bit high in fat.0 -

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
