I finally had to bite the bullet, analyse my food intake and see where I am going wrong. It turns out that I was eating at least 180 grams of pure proteins a day! I am 5ft3 (and a half it counts!) and weight approximately 8st 11 trying to get to 8st10. Also I am a 47 year old mum of ten year old twin girls; I dont know if that has any bearing (hope so!).
Today i painstakingly entered my adjusted intake into Fitday.com and can advise that my analysis is:
Calories 1,326
Fat % 53
Protein % 42
Carb % 5
Alcohol % 0!
This is and/or will be consumed as follows:
Breakfast: Omelette one whole egg, two white, tsp butter one rasher of bacon,2 cherry toms
Lunch: MIM
Dinner: Turkey 100g and Chicken 100g on BBQ, Salad, 2 tbsp homemade mayo
Snack/drinks: Soya milk unsweetened 200 mls, 100g Fromage Frais low fat (same carbs as full fat yoghurt), Sucralose, 60 ml single cream
Am I finally now doing it right?
Also drinking loads of green tea and tap water.
If there is any tweaking or further adjusting necessary, please let me know.
