eat a fat+ meat meal atleast once in your day and you can easily make up the rest . Like eggs/cheese( soft cheesy meat which acts like a good side) + fish/chicken/meat ( main course) . Also When considering budget look into prices of bulk frozen fish , i usually find from where i live that tilapia has more protein for your…

eating at 1500 calories and 2 meals a day I get easily around 150 grams of protein.

Now that you mention it i did have moments of knockout naps after high carb. in retrospect i believe it was high sugar combined with carbs. That lunch came about 50 grams of carbs including the dark chocolate . I also stay around 50 grams of carbs no where near keto levels but i do intermittent fasting. That has probably…

@kpk54 thank you just in one meal i hit 36 grams of fibre . avocado 185 grams 19 grams of fibre mashed with 30 gram flax seed at 8 grams of fibre and 9 grams of fiber with dark chocolate . I like Crunchy stuff and flax seeds add it.

what are your maintenance macros like now?

If i am eating low carb for health reasons i figured i might as well try to get in more fibre for health. I assumed the recommendation for fibre was regardless of SAD. My diet goals after reaching goal bodyfat ( hopefully)+weight is still more or less stick to low carb or low GI i.e basically no grains or processed carbs.…

initial weight loss will be water weight , in the end if weight loss is your goal it is always calories eaten should be a bit less than calories required to maintain weight. but the main advantage of low carb is you inherently dont feel that hungry and you know when you are full due to dietary fat consumed. i.e It is very…

There is no need. As you get to lower weight the rate of loss will slow down . Mine went from 3 pounds a week to 2 pounds a week now at 173

Steph... any chance were you at VP the other day?

so that is what was happening.... and i was scared that it was some symptom of pre/diabetes

got the scales moving again, no woosh but i am not to sure if its due to hitting keto level carbs again.. feels like the only time the scale is consistently moving is at keto level low carbs, good idea on the photos will start taking timely photos to check before vs after plateau to see if theres any changes in body…

10 day plateau I'm gonna hold out on doing anything drastic for 7 more days ... plateaus suck .... But gotta keep going

they work well for me too, no more IBS , bloating , gas, there is very little that upsets my stomach.

That is the thing i am concerned about , overeating while going up on carbs. I started my rest day with carbs and i was able to eat a about 600 calories in surplus in just 2 Meals with carbs . before eating 1500 calories on low carb was tough due to being protein and fat . I wanted to decrease protein because eating high…

:| ever since i found cherries its been tough on me. But id imagine my maintenance carbs to be around 100-150 allowing lot of rooms for salads n veggies , and all kinds of fruit , sauces :)

Movie nights always seem to sabotage my efforts one way or the other ... I was happy I didn't snack on anything at the movies and went out and got my favourite dinner. Except I forgot to replace the noodles with meat... came home weighed the food ate and logged it... And boom carb overload .... even the chicken had lot of…

All carbs are not equal

Absolutely right. Being the dumbass that i am i tried a portion of the beef with marinade and drip pan. IT turned out looking great on the outside but hard and chewy and a total pain in the mouth to eat it, my jaws still hurt. Lesson Learnt.

this sounds interesting . i have an oven and a roasting grill with a drip pan. How long does it take to cook?

What are the cals macros on that ? Id love to know

*sigh* looks like No amount of anti water retention magic is going to defeat excess sodium quickly....my water retention remedies only seems to work on normal days without excess sodium.

I use the fried bacon on mfp to log. Although I bake my bacon in an oven with a grill and just throw the grease away. Most labels unless they specifically mention it as fried/cooked/baked the calorie listing is always per raw slice.

Also low carb doesnt account for sodium,which is pretty hard to get rid off

Multi vit , vit d , anti oxidants ,water

Nope it helps me wake up energised after a tiring work day.

I found success in not reraining water since i started doing this every day. 1. Begin the day with eating asparagus in your first meal 2. Drink enough water atleast 8 glasses in a day. 3. Drink green tea before bed

For a whole many years of my life i used to think the same. Then i cleaned up my diet and do my best to not retain water.

Interesting. Its hard for me to maintain sub 20 g carbs and around 50 is what i get to on a normal work day. I am not even sure i am in keto at 50 grams of carbs. I do have an active job

You get a fitbit and sync it to mfp. I have an active job and i count the calories burnt aside from walking. Butchecking my weight daily i was able to do the reverse .i lost 0.6 pounds yesterday. That is roughly 1800 calories. I saw my net was 700 even with an intake of 1500 calories. So i estimate i burnt 2500 calories. I…
