[QUOTE="DanW13, post: 2357630, member: 531379"] Quick update. 2 weeks on from my initial post and my weight has edged up a touch from 10 stone 4 to 10 stone 5lb! So I appear for now to have stopped the rot! How? I’ve not reduced exercise, but have increased number of calories per day in the following ways, with an emphasis on upping good fats rather than saturated: 1) Increase in number of omelettes per week for breakfast 2) I’ve swapped cashew & pistachio nuts for macadamia & pecan nuts. These not only taste better but also have lower carbs & higher (good) fats. 1 of each nut is circa 10 calories, I’m having around 25 each per day, so 500 calories total. All good fats also & probably less carbs than when I had the cashew/pistachios. 3) 20g of 90% dark chocolate per day, usually just prior or after exercise. 4) I’ve added a green pesto sauce to 2 meals per week, I’ve chosen the meals where the meat is leaner - fish, chicken, turkey etc, to basically calorie up the meals. The sauce I’ve chosen is high in calories (mostly good fats again), but v.low in carbs. Link to it below for those interested. 5) Addition of pine nuts to several meals & lunch salads.
