Ok first let me give what I have for my macros:
Ok my issue is making a daily/week meal plan for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and a snack to meet my Macros. I have no issues meeting or going under the Carbs its the going way over in Calories, Fat and Protein that’s got me. Anyone have a meal plan with nutritional facts to meet my Macros that will get me started in understand how to get started?
Thanks,
Yep… keep carbs under 20g per day and eat until you are full… forget the rest for at least 2 months. Maybe skip a meal if not hungry.
Chad, I didn’t look on your other posts, but I don’t see your height/weight/age/activity listed. Make sure you’re getting enough calories…1467 seems low.
Mark hit it on the head. Keep your carbs low. Worry about the rest as you go. Getting into ketosis, then becoming fat adapted are keys. Once I became fat adapted, food choices become easier: Fats & proteins have some flex day to day, but my carbs stay at 20g net or less every day.
height is 5’7 Male, I just weighted myself and am 180lb, age 47, and I have a desk Job.
Where is the best place to get meal plans? I just need to get a week under my belt for meal plans so I understand how to make or find preplanned with nutrients chart so I can stay within my macros.
I used to weigh 203 but in past 2 months I have ate a salad for dinner with cucumbers, lettuce, feta, and a meat either beef or seafood and a little cottage cheese and a orange in 100% fruit juice . breakfast is a grapefruit and lunch is a bumble bee tuna salad with crackers snack. On weekends I eate a steak for dinner or a lamb steak.
anyway im wanting to get down to 160lb and be able to eat fat, im a big beef eater and its killing me not to eat a crap load of meat or bacon for that matter.
So eat it, there’s nothing stopping you. You don’t need a meal plan, just cook and eat meat if that’s what you want to do. Plenty of people are thriving that way.
Here’s my way of doing it without the rigidity of meal plans. I like the flexibility. I think I’ve learned more by beginning to understand the amounts of protein in a bit of cheese or fish, or the amount of carbohydrate in 100g of lettuce or cauliflower.
First a have a quite a few ingredients that I will use - so in the fridge there’s a tray of fats: salted and unsalted butters, coconut oil, ghee, lard, and various pots of dripping from the different meats I’ve cooked.
And there’s a selection of green leaves - lettuce, spinach (and frozen spinach in the freezer), and other low carb above ground veg.
I’ve an array of different bottles of oil, some vinegar, lots of different spices and herbs, and different salts.
I always have eggs.
There are a few tins of protein in the cupboard, sardines, corned beef etc
There’s a jar of homemade mayonnaise (which, surprisingly, lasts for ages and ages).
In the freezer there are different proteins - and that’s another thing I like about not having a meal plan. I only buy protein when it’s reduced in price. I’m not forced to buy full priced ingredients just because they’re on a plan.
The decision what to cook is then determined by what I have and what I fancy and not what I’m told (by the meal plan) to eat.
I use My Fitness Pal to keep a running total of the macros. The My Fitness Pal recipe section is very useful as it facilitates easy bulk preparation and freezing - I put the weight of each portion as part of the name of the recipe “Soup - 100ml”.
(But I don’t enter my weight as I’m not providing them with data!!)
I work on 100g and not by some spurious notion of portion size. A portion size, say of carbs, is determined by what I want to eat, and how many carbs I’ve already eaten since I got up, or what I want to save for the evening.
Or you can use the meal plans on the Diet Doctor website, and use MFP to adjust the quantities according to your calculated macros.
You could follow the Diet Doctor “get started” meal plans - perhaps this should have been the first sentence!
And as for loving beef and meat, there’s lots of information about protein and ketosis here on the forum. Salutary, it’s my downfall too.
You can have both… maybe check out carnivore rather than keto? All meat… no plant matter eggs, bacon, meat, fish, butter, cream what’s not to like?
Just eat it. Your calories look pretty low anyway, and that’s something you certainly don’t want.
just be sure to add fat - i always add melted butter to my steaks to get more fat in. OH and BPC (bullet proof coffee). Eat bacon, eat steaks - i eat lots of both. Make sure you adding fat and you should be good but quit counting. only eat a few times a day - no snacks. You shouldn’t need them if you are getting enough fat with your meals. Once fat adapted it will be easier
Drop the grapefruit and orange and I would have a full fat cream cheese rather than cottage cheese…that sounds far too much like a low cal diet. BTW whatever is a bumble bee salad 
Now I’ve composed myself 
I’ve had a look at the contents of your tuna salad. Are you eating the crackers? They are very carby and have lots of nasties. Purists would advise against eating anything with soy or canola oil.
I would stick with advice you’ve already had. Eat real food and as much as you need in the beginning. You can feast on bacon and eggs if you want to. Never go over your 20g carbs and stear clear of anything processed. Good luck.
