I think if you are aiming for a lower protein amount you need to switch around one of your meals- possibly breakfast. You could do something like 3 boiled eggs and a veggie side, or avocado, or the sausage and those sides. Having 3 eggs and sausage at once is probably your sink. EDIT: sorry misread, I meant ham instead of…

As for the calorie goals- to maintain you can always try eating things that are higher in calories. A steak has many more calories than a chicken breast, for example. Nuts and seeds are calorific binges too, as are coconut products, cheeses, and heavy whipped creams. Basically I'm giving you a list of items that I eat…

Change your dressing so you are eating a higher fat, low carb one...nuts, seeds, cheese, and avocadoes are all things I use in rotation on my salads.

I'm a chemist who loves cooking food. No but for reals I am a chemist! Synthetic chemistry, but have moved into the Analytical field (which is a bore..) I eat mostly Keto or Paleo diets, and only really cycle as exercise so my profile isn't that exciting. Add me if you like!

Thanks very much! I'm looking into weight and HITT gyms right now :) I'll still bike every day, that's how I get to work, but it's not quite as an effort as it used to be.

Thanks! I've been getting some flak on the keto reddit about eating 40 g of net carbs, but I'm not sure it's all that bad. Since I'm 5'3", I still think 135 is do-able. I'm still eating a 38% calorie reduction which is a lot. Maybe I should eat more avocado. Thanks for your comments!

I wish 160 wasn't really near my 'healthy' range, but you might be right. Trying to lose 23 lbs seems harder than it should be! I might try ramping up the exercise and try a P90x sort of regiment, or break out the rowing.

Thanks! I did whole 30 a few times. Maybe it's time to give it another go...all I would be cutting out is dairy and alcohol, since everything else is pretty clean.

Snacking on nuts is a bit dangerous since they are so high in fat and calories (don't get me wrong, I LOVE fats in my diet). You need to be thinking about your food when you are eating it. For mindless munching, try something a little more empty, like celery stalks. I know it's boring...but It's better than torturing…

The only hindrance to that much bacon is probably the sugar content. Here in Canada, all packaged bacon is cured with molasses or some type of sugar. I buy the Farm Boy bacon at the deli counter, and they told me it's just plain cured, but it's so good I'm not sure I trust them! I eat about 3/4 of a pound a week (~300g) ,…
