I have quite a lot of weight to lose (3 stone) and it is coming off very slowly. I'd be grateful for your thoughts on my typical low carb day (below). It totals just under 1200 cals (I know we're not supposed to count them but I added them up for interest) and 50g carbs, 80g fat, 85g protein. Do I need to get my carbs lower and how can I do that without missing out on veg? (Obviously the berries could go but I love them.) Any advice gratefully received.
Breakfast- 2 boiled eggs or a 2 egg omelette
Lunch- baked salmon or chicken breast, half a small avocado, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, 1 tsp olive oil
Snack if hungry- 100g full fat Greek yoghurt with a few strawberries or raspberries or a slice of low carb bread with cream cheese
Dinner- something like baked salmon, chicken or handful of prawns, griddled broccoli and courgette (brushed with 1 tsp olive oil)
Drink- unsweetened almond milk in tea, juice of one lime with fizzy water, I try to drink more water during the day but probably not enough.
