To ask what you think of this typical food intake?

Over 3kg of cheese a week is crazy. I assume you’re deliberately eating low-carb, but I wouldn’t call the rest of your diet particularly balanced either. I mean if it works for you, in terms of your weight and energy levels, that’s fine, but that amount of fat can’t be good for your health long-term.

Put the cheese down

@Willowy2 oooh please point me in the direction of pea protein banana bread recipe. Also we used to get really good pea protein but have our source has disappeared - where do you source from

Sorry OP for derailing

You need to see a dietician. If you potentially have food intolerance, or are celiac, you will need help with this.

I eat your typical day, of protein and fats over 4 or 5 days. Half my intake is fruit and vegetables. I’d be overweight and worried about cholesterol and heart health on your diet OP. And constipated, very constipated. I’m a lot taller and on the midrange of ideal bmi btw.

I used to be absolutely addicted to cheese. Like, I would grate it on absolutely everything. Then I would have cheese sandwiches and baked potato with cheese on top. Every day. If I had a meal that cheese didn't work with, I'd actually get irritablie.

I also worked out a LOT but was always at 11. 5 stone. Even 12 at one point. I'm 5 ft 2.

In 2024 I decided enough was enough and straight out gave up cheese. I do have one tiny stick a day and that's it. I was also on Orlistat tablets for a few months. Alongside still working out and the new healthy eating, I've lost 3 stone.

I don't know what your question was, but if you're trying to lose weight, start with giving up cheese.

Because no one can eat that much food day in and out and no exercise, and be a healthy weight. 🤣

That's a huge amount of food daily.

You can’t be serious. There is no ways she’s not obese/

Good god! That's a pretty appalling diet, I have to say. Massively too much fat (your poor liver must be struggling), almost no fibre and binge drinking alcohol every week. You will undoubtedly cause yourself a lot of health problems if you continue.

Do yourself a huge favour and join Zoe. Get your gut microbiome tested and then subscribe to the Zoe app and follow the advice on there. Your future self will thank you.

You might also want to get some blood tests done, to check the state of your liver and kidneys and whether you have significant inflammation or vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

You owe it to yourself to change your lifestyle and start looking after your body - it's the only one you'll ever have.

if I ate that much cheese I'd be the size if a house. I have 80g cheese a week! except at Christmas, then I probably eat your 8 days worth in a day

All that cheese!!!!!!!

Exactly it's very possible to do clean keto.

I didn't when I was on it for health reasons, but if it had ended up being a permanent or more longer term thing I probably would have made healthier choices.

You must have the greasiest shits in the world

Cheese is addictive because it contains casomorphins which causes the cravings

In terms of weight OP, if you are sedentary as you describe, there’s a strong chance that you could be gaining around half a stone per month (maybe more), which would be 6 stone in a year. Is that what’s happening?

Very few vegetables or fruit......

Agreed!! The eggs are not an issue, compared to the rest!

Out of that list of food you're worried about the (now debunked) cholesterol effect from eating eggs?

When I first posted on this thread, I hadn’t noticed the volume of food in the ‘one’ meal per day, but OP you are consuming between 8000 and 11000 more calories per week than you need! That’s a hell of a lot.
If you spread that one large meal across 3 or 4 meals, got rid of a lot of the cheese and nuts and added more fruit and veg, plus upped your water intake you’d see and feel a difference quite quickly.
You clearly don’t want to mention your weight and that’s your right, but you don’t seem to have a full grasp of what and how much you are consuming and I can’t imagine you feel great like this.
You can make some quite significant changes if you meal plan a bit more and limit the snacking. Good luck,

Why so many eggs? Half an egg contains more cholesterol than the recommended daily allowance.

Really? It’s a massive calorific value!

Cheese 1872
Nuts 581
Eggs 262
Pork Chops 1000

3.715 calories and you do think OP would be overweight with a sedentary lifestyle?

I'm a cheese addict and I get through 1 900g a week!!

The cheese and nuts would be 2400kcal a day.

I’m not keto. But what kind of keto diet are you talking about?

some people do vegetarian or pescatarian keto. Which may include seitan, cod, haddock, salmon, macadamia nuts, some tofu, avocado etc. I’d be very surprised if they had cholesterol related issues after three months.

Just like a high carb diet might primarily consist of whole grains, potatoes, legumes, fruits and veggies. Or it might primarily consist of sugary cereals, beer, pasta and white bread…
