So I went to clean Eatz and grabbed 5 meals to try.
About to eat the first one

 

[Thunder]

One definitely wasn’t enough

 

[Dirtnasty]

Again much lower in protein than your meals should be Honestly I’m
Not sure your time crunch but all meal services are goig ti be super over priced and likely not hit the protein amounts you need

 

[Thunder]

How much protein are you thinking a day?
Keep in mind I’m getting back to intermittent fasting

 

[Dirtnasty]

I would be at 200 minimum. I understand your worried about weight loss and not muscle building but eating higher protein will help with craving and help keep from that weight coming from
Both fat and muscle. I’m personally not a fan of intermittent fasting as I’d prefer more meals during day even if smaller. But if it works for you that’s great. No

Intermittent fasting isn’t magic. You’re just cutting out a large window of time to eat. So your cals drop.

1g per lb of body weight. Minimum 0.8g per lb. I don’t know how much you weight but if you’re coming close to that you won’t have room for any extra snacks. Again I don’t know how much you weigh so I don’t know what number we’re talking but that’s the general recommended amount of protein. Protein is the most satiating macro. A lunch of just mixed nuts is gonna make you starving in a an hour or two and then your little meals aren’t enough.

 

[Neuro]

That nacho meal is probably the exact opposite ratio you need.

 

[Thunder]

Yea I slammed two meals like I’ve not ate in days

Agree with everything @Neuro @Dirtnasty said.

Ezzepeeze… big protein and some good carbs

Scramble up a whole quart of egg whites and divide them up into 4 tupperwares.

Take a 1 cup tupperware and fill it 1/4 way with whole oats. Add hot water let it sit while you’re eating your serving of scrambled whites. Add one small packet of nonsugar sweetener to omeal. Eat that… high protein low gooder carbs and it’ll fill you up.

I eat this every morning at work for about 3 months now.

Cheap and ez.

 

[Poppy]

Use just a bit of olive oil while scrambling eggs

 

[Poppy]

I’m personally not a fan of intermittent fasting

Me either

 

[Poppy]

Protein is the most satiating macro.

Aren’t you coming down from a big big weight loss? I would even say cut carbs entirely. Keto. Carnivore. Just for a time. Carbs are a slippery slope for most people. Once we get a small taste we want more and more. You probably be better off going keto or carnivore and eating thought out the day the eating those high carb meals for 8 hours a day.

Just my personal thouhhhs.

 

[Neuro]

In reality, whatever is going to keep your adherence to a caloric deficit is what’s most important. But you for sure need more protein.

 

[Poppy]

Carbs are a slippery slope for most people. Once we get a small taste we want more and more.

Amen!!!

Quick n dirty shake

1 Cup maybe a bit more of egg whites…some ice…1 scoop of whey isolate… 1/4 cup of rice crispys… blend in blender.

Add some blueberries or one tbsp of peanut butter for taste if you want.

Oodles of protein handful of carbs.

This is my evening thing so I can go to bed stuffed. I have to have a bit of carbs so I don’t wake up hypoglycemic and sleep eat.

 

[Thunder]

I was 485 just under 3years ago.
I was down to 330
I’m at 365 now

I’ve recently had some kidney concerns with creatinine levels and foamy urine. I’m trying to navigate that whole topic and possibly go plant based protein for the time being. That’s why I’m interested in kidney/liver cleanse and organ health.
I have not seen a renal specialist yet I was trying to lean out and eat clean to see if that would make any difference.
Since I’ve upped the water intake I feel a lot better but my pee color still looks off to me.

 

[Neuro]

Why plant based?
