Hey Broomangel - I only eat from 2:00 PM to 7:00 pm. I consume at least 1600 calories during that window of time. It consistes of a large "breakfast" - eggs, sauteed squash, then my snack is usually cottage cheese topped with berries and a handful of nuts (or sometimes yogurt) then dinner consists of about 4 to 5 ounces of protein, large salad, and some other side. Occasionally, I will have a sweet potato as the other side but usually, it's spaghetti or butternut squash, or possibly sauteed zucchini with mushrooms, onions. I try to eat a whole lot of veges and have smallish protein portions. I keep my protein under 8 ounces daily and don't worry about fats at all (saturated or un) as they are all the same number of calories per gram. This was a personal choice for me and is not totally SB. I always have less than 2 ounces of cheese daily and include that in my dairy total. Ususally, it's a sprinke on my daily salad but sometimes, I may add it to eggs. I have to be careful with cheese and nuts for sure. This all totals on Fitday around 1600 to 1700 daily. The only thing I ever cheat withis either a little wine or a few sugar free vodka drinks on the weekend. All in all - it's working much better for me than Atkin's and my carbs typically total around 60. I don't count them, or worry about them either. Hope that helps.
