Getting all 25g of fiber on keto (without relying on supplements)
Hey everyone! Looking for some tips on fiber. I have been eating low carb for probably 6-7 months but not keto. I carb cycle since I lift heavy and eat higher carb pre-workout on my lifting days, but all other days I keep carbs as low as I can while still getting 25g fiber. I've found that for me personally, if I don't get…

Fat lost during cooking / nutrition facts question
I've been eating low carb for about a month and I absolutely LOVE it. I'm not doing strict keto or anything, but keeping my carbs under 75g on lifting days, and 50 or less on non-lifting days, sometimes 30 or less. This is total carbs, so net is 10-15 lower. Anyway since my cooking has changed and I want to log as…

Turkey Rice Bowl - 500 calories
Hi all! I was aimlessly throwing together some ingredients one night and I ended up with a recipe that is (IMO) delicious AND - yes - nutritious. It's kind of a healthy Americanized version of Chinese fried rice. Ground turkey gives you protein and some fat, brown rice gives you good carbs and the extras give you nutrients…

Do you have a "cheat day"?
I'm new to this site and new to fitness and healthy dieting in general. One constant I see among a lot of people's habits is that there is a cheat day where you either don't work out, or eat whatever you want, or both. I would be worried that this would make me fall back into old habits. I want to push through and try to…
