[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 1683092, member: 368709"] I try to switch it up a bit. I eat one meal a day at least 2-3 times a week, sometimes more. Today I ate lunch and dinner but for the previous 9 days I ate only dinner. Today I was hungry (properly hungry, not just peckish) so I ate. I’m fasting for blood sugar control and weight loss, not as an endurance test so try to follow my body’s lead. My meals vary but in general my macros are roughly 75-80% fat, 5% carbs and the rest protein. I rarely snack - don’t feel the need, and when I do, I make the snack substantial and treat it as a meal. Daily calories vary between around 1,000 and 1,800. I have simple tastes so eat meat or fish based meals with veggies, although some meals I don’t have veggies. Tonight for example I had lamb kleftico with buttered cabbage and broccoli followed by homemade chocolate olive oil cake (using ground almonds and erythritol) with cream. Another staple meal is high meat content sausages with bacon and a burger, no veg. The thread ‘what have you eaten today’ in the low carb forum should give you some ideas. Can’t stress enough that you have to set your own goals and timings - neither I nor anyone else knows what is best for you but don’t over think it. Suck it and see, adapt as necessary. Hope you find a regime that works. [/QUOTE]
