Hi everyone I posted this on the general low carb page too but thought I would post here just to get as many responses as possible, so hope that is ok :)
Breakfast- 2 egg omelette cooked in butter with spinach and mushrooms.
Snack- celery with full fat cream cheese
Lunch- prawn salad with lettuce spinach red onion 1/2 avocado asparagus and drizzled with olive oil.
Snack- almonds
Dinner- Salmon with spinach broccoli cauliflower with butter.
This comes in at 90g fat, 17g carbs and 73g protein with a macro split 69F 25P 6C.
Do I look to be on the right track here?
I know some people do ultra high fat (so macro split of 85F or more) but my issue is I really don't like a lot of very fatty things eg mayonnaise, I've always hated creamy sauces, I was a vegetarian for the first 22 years of my life and still am not a huge fan of red meats which I know are better for low carb due to the high fat content. I once tried a BPC with butter and coconut oil but it made me gag! I have a funny thing with texture lol anything sort of "slimy" (I've always hated smoothies and milkshakes)
So I guess what I'm asking is does it HAVE to be high fat to get good results? I am a member of a facebook group and people seem to wolf down spoonfuls of coconut oil and butter just to get their fats in. Is a macro split of around 70F, 25P and 5C ok or is it really important to up the fat a lot to get the best weight loss results?
Thanks in advance for any info! :)
