For my trial run - I was under my cal goal but way over in fat. That's really tough! Protein was bang on. Guess I need to eat more veggies to up my carbs without getting too much fat. Good times!

Today:

After our attempt last night, I went way off LE today.. Way too much fat and protein!! 😕

10am large flat white

1pm Oporto chipolte steak roll, medium flat white, half a Mars bar slice.

1400 cals 66g fat 68g protein!!

mum that is nothing, i eat around 60g protein every day during the week! Now that you have hopefully conceived, your baby will need the protein

hitmebaby - I was the same when I first started, it will take time to transition and work it out. Fill up on veggies, low fat veggie soups, salads etc

yesterday:
520am - coffee with whole milk
9.00am (boooooo) - a banana, blueberries, raspberries and waitrose organic wholemilk yoghurt. A nescafe cafe menu latte.
1.00pm - a jacket potato, mash direct cauliflower cheese gratin, a carton of new covent garden tomato and balsamic soup, a massive salad I prepared earlier (leaves, basil, roasted red pepper, roast mushrooms, roast babycorn, roast leek, artichokes with a little of their oil and some chilli flakes) - was so stuffed after all this!
8.00pm - waitrose fresh tagliatelli (approx 125g), tomato and garlic pesto, chilli flakes, fresh chopped coriander, courgette, babycorn, mushroom and a very small portion of monkfish medallions

approx 1800 cals, 50g fat, 65g protein. i was going to have chocolate last night to up the cals and fat but I was genuinely stuffed!

by the way, for anyone new reading this, I aim for 1800-2000 cals, 30% fat (so around 60g) and 50-60g protein. I dont always hit it and thats OK by me. Monday to thursday I try to meet the targets and then I relax at the weekend. I was doing daily 16 hour fasts for ages but had a couple of 'funny turns' recently which scared me so with atomic's advice I am now having breakfast again. Really all i am doing is moving my 4pm yoghurt and fruit to morning.

I have my cals set in MFP to 1700 but then I eat more bc of the excerise.




I have my fat higher than my protein bc I read somewhere on here thus I should have higher cals and more from fat.

If anyone advises differently let me know.

hit me baby - i have my settings in MFP as 30% fat, 10% protein and 60% carb but its more the totals i look at i pretty much ignore the pie chart. You need to be eating more calories from carbs than fat/protein.

Fill up on sugar! It's the only time in your life that you're allowed to drink cans of fizzy drinks and eat sweeties!! Every day I use about 600 of my calories for sodas, alcohol or sweets as they're all very low in nutrients so keep my calories in the range without adding protein or fat. I'm also eating lots of processed foods as it's easier to add up the totals plus it's less nutritious than fresh!

Today:
Lunch - French bread with two sweet potato falafel and a spoonful of hummus, with salad and a Fanta. Plus three Go Ahead biscuits with a cup of Redbush tea.
Snacks - handful of Kettle Chips with a Gin & Tonic
Dinner - Tesco Mexican style bean burger with a huge pile of swede/rutabaga mash (as it's soooo low in cals) and some veggies, with a beer or two.

Totals should end up 1730 cals, 44g fat, 35g protein.
