Low carb meal plan

Hi, I have been eating lchf for a number of years now - my formula is 1600-1700 calories. 21g carb (5%) 151g fat (80% and 64g protein (15%). A really helpful site is this one http://ketodietapp.com/Blog/page/Start-Here
I also use Myfitnesspal to enter my daily meals and recipe information.

Best of luck

Hey! Is anyone doing a low carb lifestyle? I'm just starting so I'm interested in recipe ideas and success stories!!! With the help of fitness pal, daily I'm at 26g of carbs, 30g of fat and 56g of protein. Tried to stay under 20g but this is my first time experimenting with macros. Thoughts & ideas accepted! Just keep them clean & positive!

I'm hoping your fat was supposed to be 130g of fat and not 30g. If not, your calories are way too low.

You are quite low carb. That's a ketogenic diet. If you want to find more low carbers, and keto'ers, try the Low Carber Daily MFP group. That's where most MFP low carbers hang out. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group

I've been doing 20-30g of carbs for almost a couple of years. I lost 40 lbs pretty easily in the first 5 months. I maintained for most of a year and then put back on about 10lbs when my health did a switch up. It's coming back off with relative ease now that my health is better again.

My advice is to increase sodium to 3000-5000mg per day to make up for electrolytes lost with water weight. There's about 2300mg of sodium in a teaspoon of salt. Add salt to your diet to avoid the headaches, fatigue, nausea, BM issues, and muscle aches that accompany low electrolytes.

Good luck.
