I started with the intentions of doing to 20g per day Atkins induction but I find it unrealistic so I'm trying to keep my carbs at around 50g a day whilst still eating healthily. (also aiming for 1500 calories a day)
I'm 5ft 10in and weigh (at the beginning of this week) 10st 13lbs.
I know I'm not overweight but I'm bigger than I want to be and bigger than I have been in the past. I want to be 10st.
Here is a typical day's menu - am I doing enough?
Monday -
breakfast - protein shake made with whey powder, almond milk and peanut butter (9g carbs, 260 cals)
lunch - homemade turkey meatballs with feta cheese, spinach and baby tomatoes. Served with cauliflower rice. (8g carbs, 330 cals)
Dinner - Homemade red thai fish curry with 100g cooked rice (32g carbs, 446 cals)
49g carbs / 1036 cals.
I realise the calorie content is too low but I find it hard to push that up without introducing carbs.
Been on this two days so far (not including today) and feel better but obviously too early to tell if the weight will come off. What do you reckon? is it healthy / low carb enough?
