I'm still waiting for an answer for my 1800-2000 kcals per day -
if I restrict carbs to 150 g per day (600 kcals) (as suggested by a dietitian)
and protein to 150 g per day (600 kcals)
and cut right down on fats (as recommended by a dietitian)
where do my remaining calories come from?
They suggested fruit & veg, but the energy in fruit & veg comes from the small amount of carbs ....
Actually my carb intake is nearer 50 g (200 kcals)
