I try to limit my carb intake because I find it makes me feel sluggish and retain a lot of water. I also do 16:8 intermittent fasting because I've never been a breakfast person (back when I was younger it was just called 'skipping breakfast' 😀). I work out a lot (8-9 per week) so my intake target is 1700 kcal. I normally try to limit to 1400-1600 though and I don't eat back my exercise calories.
First food is at 12-12:30pm, centred around protein. Yoghurt, cheese, meats, cream cheese normally feature somewhere. In the summer I'll have protein smoothies made with frozen fruit instead but it's far too chilly right now!
Dinner is normally 7:30-ish and, again, is focused around protein. My current favourite is grilled chicken with some sort of seasoning or sauce, air fryer roasted peppers, and cauliflower rice with cheddar and cream cheese (a bit like cauliflower cheese I suppose). We often have homemade chicken tikka, peri peri chicken, and chicken noodle stir fry (although the noodles are carbs). I'm not a fan of fish and my husband won't eat it at all so it's chicken in this household.
I aim for minimum 100g protein per day but normally get in 120-130g. I do have a casein protein shake before bed so that I have fuel for morning workouts, and I stick collagen powder in it too because it's another good protein source and I figure it might help preserve my hair (and minimise wrinkles!).
Lastly, lots of water.
I've been eating this way for about 6 months and it's sustainable for me. Two meals a day enables me to have some treats. We have a takeaway each week and I still eat chocolate a couple of times a week. Aldi and Lidl do little chocolate sticks, a bit like Kinder Bueno, and they really hit the spot for me as a dessert. My nemesis are pizza and crisps, I cannot moderate them, so I try not to have them in the house.
