A question for the low carbers

[comedycentral]

I’m looking at going back to a lower carb diet. I’m not sure if oatmeal is doing me any favours and I’ve noticed I’m eating quite a bit of rice. I am having some joint and nerve issues lately.
Do you find you struggle to feel full ?
Would anyone mind showing a days eating for someone who weighs 180-200?

I do like a little bit of fruit and I am looking to also cut way down on protein powder as I have a lot and wonder if the artificial flavours aren’t my friend either.

I’m thinking something along the lines of

4 eggs
2 rashers bacon
Home made guacamole

Tuna or salmon salad
2 boiled eggs
Chunk of cheese

Unflavoured shake with banana and mango

Steak small amount of greens and a few olives and sauerkraut
Full fat Greek yoghurt.
Small orange

Fats are slower digesting and protein is satiating. Carbs for the most part are pretty empty and not very satiating unless you go to the more complex slower digesting ones. Technically you’d feel much fuller on a higher fat/protein diet as you intend than a high carb diet unless you’re restricting calories.

Example of some meals when low carbing. I have grocery lists set up for low carb or mod carb plans so the foods are essentially the same and I just make meals of different combos. I weigh 215
Food List:
Bison
Chicken breast/thigh
shrimp
96/4 ground beef
baramundi(I'll change out for Mahi or other white fish)
salmon(sockeye filet or smoked
eggs
cottage cheese
fairlife 2% milk
avocado
various nuts
Oilive oil
quest chips
jerky
fruit(I eat dried dates pre workout and will add plums, grapes, berries, pickled beets to some meals)
frozen veg(roasted squash, peppers, jalapeno, brussel sprout)


4 Eggs
3/4 cup low fat cottage cheese
2oz avocado
1 oz almonds

7-8oz shrimp sautee in olive oil
2 whole eggs
1oz macadamia nuts
smaller piece of fruit(plum, 1/2 cup grapes, etc

6-8oz bison, chicken thigh or chicken breast with olive oil
frozen roasted veg(I get a bag called Prima Vira from costco)
2oz avocado
1oz of nuts

2oz Jerky

Im extremely boring. When im going low carb its literally

2-3 whole eggs and some top round or sirloin strips.

Lunch is some sort of green shit with a mix of chicken breasts+olives or avocado

Somewhere around here i inhale 7-8oz of chicken a

Dinner is 12-14 oz of top sirloin or wild salmon

I would say go into full keto to get the most out of the low carb world. It really is amazing how many issues this diet solves- health wise. I would suggest go 50/50 protein/fats calories wise. Work best for a lot of people.

Here is a full day from February. Around this time I got so used to the diet I am on that I stopped weighing everything after it became pointless (eat virtually same thing in same quantities daily except for dinner)

 

[qbkilla]

Lunch 6 eggs
Dinner 2x6 oz burger + 2-3 eggs in butter
Before bed 11 oz strip steak or salmon +8 eggs in butter

When I go low carb it’s usually boring af-

Breakfast- scrambled eggs, maybe add some cheese
Lunch- grilled chicken thighs, salad, low carb dressing of some sort or brined grilled chicken breast/ tenderloins with a variety of hot sauces.
Dinner- grilled pork chops, another salad or broccoli, Brussels sprouts etc with butter and salt.

I usually add some applesauce with the pork chops because that’s the right way to eat pork chops. I’m not a complete barbarian.

Also- if you’re not brining your chicken breast to make it tender, flavorful and juicy. You’re missing out- it’s literally the cheat code.

Oh agreed, those are my favorite!!!! I use the Kinders “the Blend” seasoning on them!

But hey if you must use chicken breast (say for a cut and you want to keep the delicious fat down)- use this brine before you prep/cook them:’

Brining Chicken Thomas Keller-Style

Brining is an excellent technique to cure meats and to season them uniformly. Here is Thomas Keller’s recipe for chicken brine that you can use for roasting or frying chicken. The key ingred…

Now, you can use just salt, pepper and a couple aromatics if you’re in a hurry. That’s what I do.

Does anybody eat vegetables? Low carb usually goes along with low kcal and cutting, I gotta eat something to fill my belly and get some micronutrients.
Breakfast:
2-3 eggs, bell pepper, green onion, spinach/green mix, tomato, frozen corn, 1 sausage or ground beef, 1 slice WW bread. Plus some fruits
Lunch:
chicken or lean beef, 1 egg, and a bowl full of raw veg, kale, broccoli, radish, red cabbage and carrots, all shredded into a slaw with homemade EVO mayo dressing
Dinner:
Whatever protein and half plate of cooked veg

I poop mega, regularly, belly is flat, I`m not hungry until right before next meal and I`m getting lots of nutrients. I`m not trying to be keto

 

[OldManLogan]

I’m huge on green veggies (steamed, stir fried, raw)- broccoli , Brussels sprouts, asparagus, peas…and salad when keto - ing.

Of course , this is lifestyle and way of eating not diet per se. You need to include all type of foods to make it valuable and lasting. I eat fish meat eggs dairy veggies fruits and sweets (cheesecake or dark chocolate 85%)
