[QUOTE="phil1966, post: 853572, member: 144138"] Thanks for the replies everyone. I've seen a couple of suggestions for bulletproof coffee but I honestly couldn't stomach the thought of it - I like my coffee black now and even the thought of that much fat floating around in my coffee makes my stomach turn (plus it would probably fill me for a whole day ;)) Having looked back through my food diary, I think my biggest issue is simply that I don't really have much of an appetite any more: I'm sat here very full and not wanting to eat anything else and I've only had 1,518 calories with the following macros breakdown Carbs: 83g Fats: 74g (22g saturated) Protein: 112g Included in that is a cooked meal with celariac, cauliflower and beans, my "experimental" muesli and a tuna sandwich. I've also added snacks on some seeds (can't eat nuts as I'm allergic) and 90% chocolate but that's about my limit. So, even increasing my carbs hasn't really helped me increase my calories so I may as well go back to LCHF and at least keep my BS fully under control :) Edit to add: I've just had a thought that maybe it's the metformin I'm still on that's suppressing my appetite? If that's a possibility I'll go and have a chat with the doctor [/QUOTE]
