Firstly, I’ll be cutting out double cream and strictly limiting nuts, they are far to easy to over consume and the psychological aspect on not actually ‘eating’ something (with regard to cream) I don’t need. Rather than going down the road of looking at numerous low carb 400 calorie recipes (and driving myself crackers in the process) I have, so far, just made a list of the foods I like and will just swap and change as my mood dictates. I’ll just add to the list as and when. So far the list is: Hummus, cheese, egg, butter, pecans, walnuts, meatballs, bacon, beef burger, sausage, mayonnaise, prawns, olives, chickpeas, chicken, tuna, mackerel, olive oil avocado, mushrooms, lots of green leaves. Fathead pizza is a MUST! One easy option is to find tinned and packet foodstuff that takes my fancy, and broadly encompasses LCHF, or can be tweaked. I am careful to make as sure as I can that I am sticking to 800 calories, and to that end If I weigh everything to the nearest gram. Looking at what I’m eating you might say that it doesn’t look very high in fat content. On the contrary, it has HUGE fat content - but most of it is coming from my fat stores! My primary energy source now is ketones produced from metabolising my own body fat.
Update. Weather appalling, so no cycling. Beat my personal best in the pool by 30 lengths to compensate, 160 in total for a calorie burn of 960.
Hold on - has that wind dropped? Add 17 miles and 901. Total exercise calorie burn 1861.
