Hi Mattad,

I have never worked these out! I suppose I should but that would feel too much like doing a diet.

I eat simply and have no super processed foods. I have protein with all meals. For breakfast it is usually a couple of eggs or a block of tofu with tahini over it. With lunch I either boil a couple of eggs or have half a large tin of tuna or a can of sardines with salad. I drizzle pure vigin olive oil on the salad or have the classic Paul Newman's salad dressing. For dinner I eat fish or meat with steamed veges. I don't eat the fat on meat as it makes me feel sick! For snacks I eat nuts and fruit. I drink lots of herb tea and rainwater.

I still have not got back into the grains or beans. I rarely have dairy now and I have found doing that has helped my PMT symptoms no end.

Yep me too, as for not breaking those down, I do try to watch the fat more now at this stage, which is how I have eaten most of my life. I still depend on butter, oils, for most of my fat. I might have bacon once a week now.But I have never gotten into the fatty meats or chicken skin, that so many do on this way of eating.

I feel the same way about tracking percentages, to much like a diet to follow. :>)

Cheers Kathy

Hi mattad,

My current carb intake ranges anywhere from 50g-100g net carbs. I don’t workout as much as you do

, maybe 3-4 times a week. My calories range from 1500 to 2000, depending on how hungry I get

. I’ve always been conscious of saturated fat intake. Now that I eat more carbs, I watch my fat even more. But like others have said, I stopped tracking my food in fitday cuz I don't want to feel like I am still dieting. I think having some protein whenever you have a high carb meal is important. Try keeping your protein intake where it’s at and as you increase your carbs, decrease your fat. Hope that helps!
