Hello all! This is such a valuable community for me as I embark on my new Keto based lifestyle - thank you!
I’m on day four, feeling good, yet want more ways to optimize my dietary needs. Here’s me in a nutshell:
- 5’6” and 142 lbs
- Ashtanga yoga and biking four/five days a week.
- Here to improve my strength and stamina for better surfing (I surf for a week, 2-3X a day, every three months).
- Near term goals: Lose 7 lbs within 5 weeks, improve stamina and strength (via ashtanga and biking).
Based on the Perfect Keto calculator, my daily macros are 15g carbs, 60g protein and 100g fat, and 1204 calories.
While I’m still adapting to these numbers, so far I’m feeling good (amazing energy levels, clear cognitive function, more definition). Only issues are: 1) I tend to get cold hands and feet, and 2) I’m desiring more variety in my diet without exceeding my macros/ calories!
My daily avocado tends to take up most of my carb macro so I’m reducing onions and garlic to make up for it.
Can somebody take a look at my plan and let me know if it’s a healthy/reasonable plan? Do you think my calories are too low? What can I do to combat cold and “menu boredom”?
