Is this a new cycle?

Thanks XX,

Were you on low fat dairy also? I was on it last 2 tries and mc both times and now read it is v. bad for fertility/egg quality (my age doesnt help either)

My protein went from 60 to 68 bc I've added 1 egg per day. No meat or chicken just veg. I'm learning how to cook Indian food since they have a lot of good veg dishes.

Just praying for a healthy babe.

I didn't particularly have low fat consistently. I just made sure to stay in the limits. I had mostly full fat cheeses, since I don't drink milk.

Atomic, how much fat and protein is allowed? I thought the upper end was 70 fat 70 protein but not sure with the full fat dairy (its pushing me into the 80's....is that too high?)

Most people cut off at 60. A few people go up to 70.

Mrs. Goodies, you are not counting the protein in fruit and veg, right?? They are free for protein and shouldn't be counted.

[MrsGoodies]

Oh, i was including frits & veg =70g protein.... Without frits & veg i is 55 g protein (is that too low?)

I'm mostly concerned about the fat which is around 85 with the full fat dairy/egg and it was only 62 when doing 0-1% dairy with no egg. The egg daily is adding 5 g fat.

I have a salad daily and the dressing has 1tbsp olive oil in it = 13g fat (but salad with no dressing would be too bland)

If I eat any kind of meat the fat skyrockets....

Any suggestions? Or should I even be too fussed about the 20 extra g fat of the protein and carbs is ok?

Ps. Just curious what the HE ttc boy minimum fat/carb/protein targets are ?

[atomic sagebrush]

Don't count fruit or veg in those totals and you will drop down. 55 g of protein is right in LE Diet wheelhouse.

Where is the rest of the fat coming from?

I would have you eat the dairy and egg anyway because your body probably needs it and the skim dairy is really bad for fertility.

HE Diet is 90 g or more protein and all the fat they can get in there (within their calorie limits which are 2200-2500 a day)

[MrsGoodies]

I get fat mostly from dairy (full fat yoghurt & milk)...butter(sautee vegetables), eggs, small amount of nuts (about 1/2-1 oz sprinkle in salad), peanut butter (no more than 1tbsp), bread , cream/parm cheese when I make alfredo or any kind of creamy soup, sour sour cream, salmon and/or chicken when i eat it (only 1-2x per month)...oh and any kind of junk food like poptarts (5 g right there)

[atomic sagebrush]

I consider dropping pop tarts and having a serving of full fat dairy to be a good trade. Will help boost your fertility and is roughly the same amount (slightly more in the milk
