momsgettinfit said:I'll do that. If I go by the 10x rule I should be eating 1700 cals a day and I'm getting no where near that. I stuggle getting 1500 in. That's where I get all confused. I eat 4 oz of protein with each meal for meal 1 I add one carb a good carb meal 2 and 3 are protein and veggies (salad veggies) and meal 4 is my preworkout meal and I have one good carb with it. Meals 5 and 6 will be protein and veggies or fruit. I just don't know how to get it to 1700 and not blow my diet ya know. I know I'm sounding like I know nothing about eating but for some reason this seems out of reach for me how can I get from 1500 to 1700 and should I if I'm trying to lose bf. BTW I want to go from 36.9 to 14 so I have my work cut out for me.
Hmmmm woman where are your good fats?
Ok so you are to stay around 1700 calories, 40% should be protein, 30% carbs, and 30% fats.
Good fat sources: coconut oil, olive oil, avacado, all natural peanut butter (my favorite ), almond butter (pretty expensive though but yummy), almonds, peanuts.
Also post up this diet that you have planned please!
