[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1564326, member: 327005"] I define LCHF a little differently I think I think the best way to think about it is 1) How many carbs do I need to be able to get all the nutrients from green veg - in terms of recommended RDA's that is about 30g - so carbs should be somewhere between 20-50 g for most people of average height. 2) how many proteins do I need to eat to get all he amino acids etc. that is somewhere between say 0.8 an 1.5g per lean body weight - to that is say about 50g- 100 g at that stage I think I am eating an LCHF diet regardless of how much actual fat I eat. My fats are EITHER coming from food I eat or my own resources. On days when my will power is strong I don't add much fats and end up eating around 900-1100 calories, On days when it is less so, I stock up on fatty things in preference to proteins and carbs. In theory my body cant really tell the difference it is still getting the balance of the food it needs from fat. [/QUOTE]
