I think if you are going over in anything, veggies or fruit would be the way to go! That wasnt that much over, you might still want to eat something small tonight

It is the entire days calories, not really how you got them. If you had 2000 cals worth of anything you would gain weight.

When I find myself low on the cals I go for a long walk. 2 miles in 40 minutes will burn aroudn 200-300 cals. Enough for a nice healthy dinner!!

I know that you don't seem to care about my "balanced diet" opinions, but i'd be more worried about the fact that you're SIGNIFICANTLY over your target fat intake and SIGNIFICANTLY under in your target carb intake than I would be about the fact that you overate by 50 or so calories.

not caring? That's pretty harsh.

I just can't seem to get it right.

It's like I'm darned if I don't and I'm darned if I do.

Not being harsh, just honest. Your body is your body and I have opinions and others have opinions but its your body so its your choice. All I can give is an opinion about what I would do if it were me. The thing is when you take away carbs or limit them, your body IS missing out on something. Just like if you limited protein, which I know most people wouldnt even THINK of doing. A lot of people have instant success losing weight with carb cutting but it piles back on as soon as you stop, which sucks.

I see what you mean, and I agree a diet that includes all three macronutrients is the best way to go long-term. However, when cutting carbohydrates, you do need more fat than normal to provide your body with an alternate energy source, so she's not really wrong there. When glycogen-depleted, your body will still use glucose, it just makes it out of glycogenic amino acids from protein and glycerol from fat. It will also use ketones, which are created from ketogenic amino acids and fatty acids. Ketosis is not to be confused with ketoacidosis, a harmful condition that can occur in diabetics. Non-diabetics will not experience ketoacidosis. I would, however, opt for only 1/3 of my fats from saturated sources, and the rest from unsaturated. You can still eat steak and bacon, but eat olive oil and natural PB and avocado more often.

It should be noted that the first few days without carbohydrates will leave you feeling groggy, and ketones may reduce your appetite and cause some nausea. Also, this diet poses a greater risk of muscle loss as protein is used to create glucose, and you need a lot of glucose each day, especially with exercise. Also, you will experience weight gain upon eating carbohydrates, but as I've said before, if you're not overeating, it's not fat gain.

Honestly, elliot, since you are very concerned with your scale weight, I don't think this way of eating is for you. It will result in huge weight fluctuations, so I can see you getting really disappointed when you weigh-in after ingesting carbohydrates and seeing a big gain on the scale. Just my opinion though. :flowerforyou:
