I don't know what you want me to admit.
Well I was hoping you'd see your initial calculation was a tad optimistic but never mind like you say it's boring adding numbers up on such a nice day.
Oh and that anyone who truly does do a low carb diet in reality does do LCHF as low carb, low fat, low protein diets are simply figments of some peoples imaginations as they logically cannot exist.
Have a nice swim.
Stephen calculated it at 164; the differences would be accounted for by the fruit, the yoghurt etc. (and also hey, I admit I'm used to making every carb count)
I was thinking about the veggies whilst swimming. When we came here we tried to buy frozen peas because they were a staple in the freezer. The supemarket almost never had them so we gave up eating peas. Sweetcorn is also very rarely sold here, they grow a little to feed the ducks and the cows in the middle of winter but they don't eat it and I don't like carrots!
Now my freezer staple veg is spinach (with or without creme fraiche ) comes in little cubes so you can count out portions and microwave. My fresh staples are normally brocolli, cauli,(why are the UK ones now so small and expensive?) asparagus in season, mixed leaves, aubergine,courgettes, leeks, peppers, onions and tomatoes . They are what are cheap and only the last three have significant carbs.
It is possible to have low fat, normal protein and lowish carbs in terms of grams, though obviously not in terms of percentages. Did I ever say not? It is perfectly possible to have a low carb, high protein , low fat diet (Dukan)
I had a lovely swim, lowered my glucose to 3.2mmol/l, water has that effect on my glucose levels. It wasn't quite cold enough to do a Jack Kruse (cold thermogenesis) but at 20c it wasn't hot. Unlike the UK our weather is still not good
