What are some higher calorie low carb foods? I need help thinking of some, I usually have like 500 calories and like 20 carbs left by the end of the day.

pic is the only food related pic I have saved, it's also my breakfast every morning

butter, cream...

fat, can probably get 200 from a salad with feta, olive, and some dressing. Olives in general are a good food to get your fat ratio up.

eggs are 70 calories a piece. Combine 2 eggs, with some cheese and you're in the 300 range.

It's probably best not to ask that question... Just saying around here no matter the answer it makes everything volatile. We'd all get along better if we didn't demand we explain ourselves for everything.

I think fat people started saying "carbs are bad" so that they could stuff their faces with bacon and eggs without being seen as gross. Meanwhile all the skinny, healthy people in the world eat high-carb meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner

I agree. That said, typical western diet is entirely too much carbs. Think about it; every snack and junk food and easy convenience food that young adults that can't into cooking eat is mostly a bunch of carbs.

Nothing wrong with carbs, but there has to be a balance.

>watching their macros

Actually counting carbohydrate, fat, and protein grams is retarded enough that I have to assume you're from /fit/, in which case leave this board and talk to a medical doctor rather than broscientists

The western diet has less carbohydrate than the east by far

Not true at all, junk food is typically refined carbohydrate sources (which doesn't represent whole plant foods that contain carbohydrate) combined with a lot of fat, but people tend to ignore the fat content for some reason.

you don't need a doctor to tailor your diet to support your lifestyle. Some people are just prone to overrating some don't eat enough. In today's world hunger is not a great indicator of dietary needs. Everyone should at least monitor what they're eating for a few weeks of their life and ask themselves if this is the way should live. If anything monitoring your macros is the easiest way to keep making sure your body is getting what it needs more than what it wants.

How do you know exactly what your body needs? Among doctors and scientists that's a big debate, it makes no sense to turn to bodybuilders for detailed advice about diet, and then to meticulously watch every gram of your macronutrient intake like any discrepancy is going to throw you off completely, and disregarding that your body isn't even going to make use of every calorie you put into it.

of course it's going to function. But If I'm marathon training (as per usual this time of year) Maybe I need to be getting way more carbs. Most people do eat enough of each to really pad the numbers enough. But how would you even know for sure, unless you took the time to measure it?

Then just eat some high carb foods. Do you need to count every gram of carbohydrate to make sure your bowl of oats has exactly 117 grams? Just eat food, you don't have to overcomplicate things like that

that's not really the point. And what if the example was more like someone tries eating more carbs but gets horrible blood sugar spikes and falls so they get bad lifts so they adjust their carb intake to be more level across meals. I'm not saying you need to tabulate every meal you ever eat. I'm saying that once in a while people might have to stop and think about what they're doing before continuing it. If that means writing down some numbers and keeping a food/health journal for a month or 3 so be it. They'd be doing a damn sight better than most of this country.

Bacon, steak, chicken, (really any kind of meat that's not breaded), butter, eggs, coconut milk, cheese. Look up foods good for keto.

Um, OP here.

I'm not diabetic, but I am pretty over weight and cutting my calories down to 1300 and carbs to 100 or less is working, so (I'm not starving or anything). Also I guessed I should have mentioned a little bit of what I eat. Rolled oats and fruit in the morning, lots of eggs with bacon sometimes, milk with protein powder on days I lift, and a couple of times a week I make burgers out of 93/7 ground beef (half a slice of cheese per patty, maybe some mustard). Also chicken breast sometimes (trying to have it only so much since it's kind of expensive). So oatmeal is every morning, and I'm trying to think of more things to eat to fill up dinner and also so I'm not eating eggs every single day so I don't tire of them.

You're going to lose weight but you may also die of a heart attack in the process. Being thinner doesn't automatically make you healthy.

try making your diet out of the things on the top 2 or 3 steps. Then go from there with portion cutting and carb counting.

So my breakfast is perfect and thaaaaaaaaat's about it. Geez, I'm already having trouble as it is. Doesn't help that I don't like a lot of things.

Honestly I care more about weight loss than eating super healthy, and what I'm doing is working. I would like to eat somewhat healthier, I think my main problem is things like bacon (like one slice of cheese a day isn't that terrible, is it?). A lot of the stuff I want is kinda high in carbs though (bananas, I think I'd like sweet potato, ect).

I have a question: if I eat all of the complex carbs I want and keep under 20-30g of fat a day, will I lose weight? I hear left over carbs will go into your glycogen stores and you can store a ton of carbs with that... but i'm not sure.

I seriously need a diet where I don't need to restrict... 5 years of trying to restrict and it han't worked. I'm at my end... I need something else.

Yes, especially when combined with exercise. Complex carbs are filling and full of fiber, which are calories that aren't useable by the body. I eat all the food I want, mostly stick to high-carb, high-fiber foods (whole grains, beans, fruits) besides a few nuts and sometimes half an avocado, and I've been 130 pounds for over a year, coming down from 160. I actually had to start adding handfuls of sunflower seeds to my diet to gain some weight when I started exercising

>> No.5370580

>>5370406
No. Complex carbs take longer to digest.

No need to restrict your diet if you exercise and count your calories. I've lost nearly 10 pounds so far with minimal effort. In times where you really want to eat, drink a ton of water, drink a cup of coffee (appetite suppressant) and chew gum to trick our body into believing you are eating food. Powdered fiber is very low in calories and can also be sipped on prior to the coffee drinking.
