That's me in a nutshell. So, I'm doing a modified carb cycling type of eating style. It's definitely lower carb than I'm used to and if you look at net carbs, it's pretty daggum low. But I know I'm not capable of sustaining such a thing long term. So, I'll have two days a week where I am allowed to eat a higher carb amount. And I'm allowed one cheat meal a week, there are no calorie counting or measuring for that meal. It's my "freebie", if you will.
Since starting this I've made the decision that I need to eat oats every morning. Because for one, it'll raise my good cholesterol while keeping my bad lower, and two, it's filling and just plain good for you. So, in the mornings I've been cooking me old school Irish or steel-cut oats. And it IS filling. BUT it isn't sustaining me through an hour long work out. I got real shaky today after burning almost 800 calories with less than 300 calories consumed today. So, I think I may have to figure out some sort of protein to also eat with breakfast.
I came home and ate a humongus salad with boiled egg and such, but after two hours I was STILL hungry, so I drank a protein shake. I'm hoping THAT stops that, because this is ridiculous.
So if any of you in dietbet-landia have any ideas, that would be most awesome!
