Lol, then I have a problem! I burn a lot of calories during the day and have a hard time meeting a net calorie of even 1k most days. Even without being low carb I had this problem.

Thank you for this! Also, do we go for Net calories or total?

Thanks for the tips and for the food options. Tomorrow will be better since I found all of this out after I ate my breakfast, lol. But! yesterday I ate almost 80 carbs and today I have only had 20. Thats a big improvement. And my lunch was so good and I am still full. It's great. Now, if only I could get this headache to…

I am giving it a go now. I am already over my cabs, but it is far less than it was yesterday. But I am making a lunch that is high in fat and protein and low in carbs. Meat is the key, I see that now.

Ok, So I just eat the daily allotment that I get at the beginning of the day, but if I go over in fats (from the food diary's I have seen) it's not that big of a deal, as well as going slightly over in protein and carbs if you have had exercise,right? And thanks! Sorry for all the questions, just some things are a little…

Ok, another question. When we work out we get carbs and all that other stuff back, do you eat it all back, personally for you, or do you not? I just recalculated my diet and I am not sure how I am only going to eat 21g of carbs, 143g of fat, and 86g of protein. I think I just need to go out grocery shopping for more…

ok, so if i got this right, i eat up to my carbs and protein, and fill the rest of my calories with fat. So, if i wanted to make a chicken Cesar salad I could cook the chicken in a garlic butter spread and my dressing will add fats that I need to my diet?

Thanks :) I have been reading through it, but I always find it is better to read the guide and then get personal insight, as people's experiences tend to differ greatly sometimes :)

What are some high fat foods that I can eat that are still low in carbs? I dont really like butter, never have, and whole milk is just gross. I drink 2%. Also, I was reading somewhere that I should avoid fruit? Is that true? Because I love fruit and it would suck to give it up, although I would if I had to.

Well, I havent gotten to the point of being that low in carbs, having just started out. I try an eat 100-150g of carbs and as I get better at it, slowly reducing. Yesterday I managed 76g of carbs, but my fat intake is also low, and I am not sure how to get it higher without adding unwanted carbs as well. Also, I have been…

gotcha, what about fat intake? How much do you need? I am trying to go for Ketosis and understand the basics, but I dont really know how much fat i need to be eating. Nothing I am reading is telling me a percentage of any sort.

Oopsie Bread? Never heard of it. And breading with pork rinds? Ew, lol. I think I'll just have my chicken naked, lol. I really hate pork rinds. Can I bread with egg and flower instead?

Bacon, for one. And another that stuck out was cream cheese, which I love.

Yea, like I said, I dont do the meal plans, I am really picky. I am doing a low cab diet and I just eat till I feel full, but I also have at least one meal replacement shake a day, So I save a lot of my calories for snacks during the day. I did the slim down just to jump start the routine, I also go to the gym for random…

Soooo, I'm about to go out into my kitchen and mash up all my bananas and stick them in the freezer and just tell my husband to pick more up on the way home lol. Sounds so good! I like to put a quarter of a banana into my morning shake. I use two large strawberries, 1/4 a banana, chocolate whey protein powder, and if I…

I have to agree that 4 does make me cringe as well, but only because I hate cardio, even though I do it. These are all excellent points, and after I loose some of my weight I might start focusing on specific areas of my body and come back to this thread Thank you!

Thanks ladies :) I added everyone that sent me a request ^.^
