Hello!
I started LCHF yesterday morning but I am now a bit confused! Before starting, I read the dietdoctor website in detail & think I'm following the principles, however, according to MFP, my carb intake is still quite high. Can I please run my meals past you & see what you think? Please be gentle, I'm trying.
For info - I was over 18 stone last time I checked, which was 12w post partum. I'm 8m post partum now and breastfeeding around 6-7 times in 24 hours. I think I'm probably around 19 stone or just over now. I am gearing myself up to weigh again this week to give me a starting figure. Due to breastfeeding, I am aiming for a moderate carb allowance of 50-60g p/d.
Mon 21/8:-
B - 2 x hard boiled eggs (I realise I should have added some fat to this meal)
S - creamy coffee made with whole milk
L - avocado, mozzarella, vine tomatoes, basil leaves - drizzled with ev olive oil. 10 raspberries.
T - brocolli, cauliflower & carrot in homemade cheese sauce made with whole milk.
S - green tea with jasmine
Tues 22/8:-
B - Bowl of f/f Greek yogurt with raspberries & blueberries & sprinkled with cacao nibs and 10g chopped nuts. Creamy coffee made with whole milk
S - Co-op Mango & Coconut chicken skewer things
L - ham, cheddar, brie, avocado with big fresh salad, drizzled with ev olive oil & full fat Aldi mayo on the side. 20 raspberries.
T - homemade bolognaise with grated cheddar on top. I cooked this with olive oil to fry the onions, I realise now that I should have used coconut oil.
S - couple of cups of tea with milk + green tea with jasmine
Over the next few days, I was planning to have:-
- omelette/scrambled eggs with chopped veg
- bacon & mushrooms
- sliced apple with peanut butter
---
- houmous & crudites
- cheese, oatcakes & apple
---
- salmon with lemon & rocket salad with parmesan
- peppered mackerel & rocket salad with parmesan
Am I wildly off course? Gentle, friendly advice welcome!
Thanks!
