I don't think I have lost any weight. I know I have cheated a few times here and there but I haven't eaten hardly any sugar or carbs. What am I doing wrong? I am still confused by this Macros deal with 60/35/5 ratio. I don't understand how to get only 1400 calories and at the same time get 98 grams of fat! How do you do that? I find the food tracker apps to be annoying and take way too much time. I tried it but each time I eat I don't want to look up my food bit by bit. Overall, I do feel better. I feel and look less bloated and my clothes fit me better. I've decided to switch from coffee with half and half to green tea that way I am taking in less calories and less dairy. I am also going to try intermittent fasting, which is where you fast for 16 hours of the day and eat only in an 8 hour time frame.
MY MACROS:
1400 calories
20 g carbs
98 g fat
120 g protein
BREAKFAST
Coffee with half and half (Enjoy it! This is the last day of coffee!)
No breakfast- waiting until my eating window which will be 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
LUNCH
2 eggs- 2 pats of butter
spinach
cheddar cheese
4 turkey sausage links
glass of water
LUNCH TOTALS: 601 calories/ 8 carbs/ 48 fat/ 33 protein
DINNER
Salad- shaved brussels sprouts & arugula with crumbled blue cheese & Balsamic vinaigrette
Snow peas with coconut oil, ginger & a dash of soy sauce
Pork tenderloin- dry rub & grilled
DINNER TOTALS: 489 calories/ 17 carbs/ 33 fat/ 34 protein
Snacks
Unsalted nuts
4 strawberries
DAILY TOTALS: 1266 calories/ 36 carbs/ 95 fat/ 72 protein
So as you can see I was over by 16 G for carbs. I am not sure how to reduce my carbs even more. Overall, I did a pretty good job.
Exercise- 40 minute Zumba class- 394 calories burned
