[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2306948, member: 41816"] As [USER=368709]@Goonergal[/USER] says, you don’t need to rely on carbs for energy - and it sounds like you do that a lot! - protein and fat are excellent energy sources. I know you said you can’t cope with high fat, but you don’t need to. Just try dropping the carbs and increasing the protein. Your chicken tray bake probably has some form of carbs in it. Pasta? Potato? Well just replace them with half as much chicken again, leeks, and/or courgettes. Then scatte a sprinkle of grated cheese on top. The traybake probably has cheese on top anyway, yes? Just think about what you usually eat, then shift the proportions around. There are many reasons why people don’t eat fat, from gall stones to fat phobia, with 50 other reasons in between. Some of them can be compensated for by a v slow ramping up of fat intake over several weeks. If you had an unknown illness 8 years ago, then sneaking in an extra g or 2 of fat per meal, increasing over time, may well be doable. When I went carnivore, the first few weeks were hard. I found that my stomach simply wasn’t releasing the digestive enzymes I needed to handle the meat. A truly wonderful person on another forum suggested that I try digestive enzymes to supplement my own, and - like magic - problem solved. I used Solgar digestive enzymes, but there are plenty of other brands. You might benefit from ones that digest fat. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
