Fasting & Calorie Counting boyz...

Granted if you try to eat clean it makes the calorie counting easier for sure. My biggest problem is with most things I get bored of the same thing so I'm always trying to eat different stuff. The people who turn food into fuel only seem to have the best success at fitness that's sustainable.

Really wish I had a legit juice bar near work, that'd make things a bit easier. Grab one for lunch and keep it under 500 calories and that be that.

I’m pretty flexible with it. I had a chick fil a sandwich the other night. I’ve had a spicy chorizo breakfast sandwich from Starbucks. Just log it and make it fit your calories/macros

I make a protein shake that includes skim milk, protein powder, and then either PB2, a banana, and/or some coffee. Keeps things fresh in the morning because that right there is multiple flavors. Keeps me filled and lower than 300-350 for breakfast. Keeping the caloric intake to around 500-600 calories for lunch allows me around 800-900 for dinner.

I've made my own version of the Moe's earmuffs with >50 g of protein and all the good fixin's. I also use a lot of broccoli and cauliflower rice.

I will add a tidbit that I noticed from my own experiences - high sodium foods (like fast food, or a lot of Asian foods) can really make you “swell up” and retain a lot of water.

Yeah think that's why I dropped, the last couple days I been mindful of sodium and drinking as much water as I can.

Broke down and ate chick fil a. Work is very stressful and toxic right now and I was coming home late, grabbed a spicy sandwich meal. Regretted it the next morning.

Also CMA fest is this weekend and I have friends in town staying with us. Going to be a rough weekend.

Just wanted to say that I have been fasting since yesterday at 7:30pm.
Black coffee helped me make it through the morning.
Chewing gum has helped this afternoon.
I’m looking forward to breaking the fast this evening but have to watch it that I don’t celebrate by eating so much or so poorly that it defeats the purpose of being hungry for the last 24 hrs.

Any suggestions for a breaking the fast evening meal that a guy can whip up? (My wife is eating out with friends this evening and it will be me and the kids).

I'm keto so if you aren't there would be a wider base but I've started using bone broth with some MCT oil about 45 min before eating a regular whatever I would eat normally meal.

I can always count on leg day to kick my butt when I have a cheat day
