re: Question for the OT workout baws

If you are trying to keep your carbs that low you are trying to be in ketosis, otherwise, why bother eating so little carbs?

I try to stay away from bread and things like that. The foods I like don't have any carbs. I would rather eat grilled chicken and vegetables than a lot of other stuff. That's just the food I like, I guess. Grilled chicken or salmon or tuna with asparagus or squash and zucchini is one of my favorite meals.

I do eat some rice and potatoes, things like that, that have carbs, but not often.

My go to keto friendly breakfast:

Bacon
Eggs
Cheese
Avocado
Hot Sauce

With all due respect OP you are full of it. You are not telling the truth to us, yourself, or both. Frankly it sounds like something made you go into an eating disorder or you are just full of crap.

If what you say is what you 'like' you wouldn't be overweight unless you were 4 years old. 1200-1400 calories would be a good meal plan for someone that is maybe 100 lbs. You can't say 'this is what I like to eat' and then say you 'need to lose 10 more lbs'.

It's much easier to gain muscle or lose fat, then to do both at the same time. To gain muscle you really need to eat a lot of protein and calories in general like 5,000+ if you are serious. To lose weight eat fewer calories and more cardio.

So again, I don't understand how someone who says they only eat 1200 calories is 10 lbs over weight. You are either trolling or leaving things out.

If you read the thread I said I started being stricter on my diet about 6 weeks ago. That is the food I like, but I also like fried food and burgers (who does't). I would rather eat what I posted than a fatty meat and starch. Again, when I went to the doctor, my body doesn't produce enough insulin and my cholesterol was a little high. My body stores more fat out of food than is ideal so any fried foods or high fat foods really stick with me. These factors are what lead to my weight gain and until having that blood work done I could not understand how I was as active as I am and eat fairly well and not lose weight. Once I got the results from that blood work and really tightened up what I ate the weight fell off.

if you are trying to shed fat and not muscle and fat increase your cals quite a bit. get on my fitness pal and update your goals to be the following:

Cals-BWx10-12
Protein-30-35%
Fats-55-60%
Carbs-10-15% and keep all carbs to green leafy veggies.

For the above I would start at the high end for Cals and Carbs and then you can adjust as needed every two weeks.

oh and skipping breakfast is fine and actually very good for you.

Keeping his cals as low as they have been is going to mess up his metabolism as well as mess with other hormonal balances
