I generally eat what I want until I’m satiated and I fast for 20+ hours. I find starchy vegetables and meat to be satiating for longer so one or the other is what my meal is constructed around. I do not eat after 7pm.
I fast for 23 hours daily. I break my fast with nuts and cheese, then \~30 mins later I have a big salad: lots of various greens, chicken or tofu, avocado, lots of colorful vegetables, some quinoa, pepitas or almonds, and a homemade dressing. Super nutritious, lots of protein and healthy fats. Right before my eating window closes, I will have some fruit and start another 23 hours!
ETA: my TDEE is roughly 1600 calories, so I try and eat between 1100-1500 depending on my activity level that day. Over 7 weeks, I’ve lost 11 pounds (averaging 1.5 pounds per week).
I fast 23-24 hours. I eat for 1 hour. I try to keep some variety of food, but I do keto as well.
So, eggs, broccoli, cauliflower, fish, Greek yogurt with cinnamon, nuts, berries, bunless burgers with cheese, lots of avocados, a little bacon on the weekends, chia seeds, olive oil, mixed leafy greens, peppers, etc
So yesterday was Almond crusted Chicken with a mixed green salad with Avocados, blue cheese crumbles, red bell peppers and extra virgin olive oil with a touch of balsamic vinegar. Dessert was whole milk grass-fed Greek yogurt with cinnamon and blackberries.
Today, probably an egg omelet with chia seeds, broccoli, spinach, goat cheese with a avocado drizzled wkrh olive oil, black pepper, salt and red pepper flakes.
Dessert will be either the yogurt again or a protein shake made with either almond milk or coconut milk, protein powder, chia seeds, and frozen berry/cherry/kale.
Saturday, I saw a keto recipe on here for a version of a McGriddle. That’s happening. Them maybe a burger woth a salad and broccoli/cauliflower woth melted cheese on top.
Hope that helps.
