I work overnights so I plan my eating into the overnight and the next day. This is a pretty typical day of eating for me. Anyone else use fat secret app?

How do you consume so many calories with so little protein? I find this nearly impossible.

I switched to skin on chicken thighs, eggs and bacon for this meal. I try to make sure that no matter the protein source that it has more fat than protein. I choose the fattiest version of a certain food type so instead of chicken breast I do thighs. I had to do a little research on fatty cuts of typical meats.

I see. Thank you.

I never tracked because I think there are so many assumptions how could it be accurate? Eg one chicken thigh … will it spit out exact grammage? Surely it’s hit and miss? Even if you weigh it, how much is bone etc. maybe I should just try it and see…

Yes i agree its not exact but it us a hell of alot closer than guessing lol.

I weigh everything, and go by nutrition on the package I am eating from. I then write it onto a chart on my kitchen fridge

Thanks @Nick224 and @Wishbone . Just go with it and accept the limitations.

I have stalled around the last couple of kg before getting under 100. IF has helped, maybe the next Ramos-mixit-up will be tracking… I’ll look at apps

I just started using Cronometer yesterday. It’s quite a plesent surprise because it confirm that I’m eating at the proper ratio I assumed I was. I think with homeostasis the body is very intelligent to regulate your intake and energy expenses. I’m not interested in making a habit of relying on these apps and fitbit things, but it does give you insight on what nutrients you want to reduce or increase, especially to help reduce my protein intake.
