I have unintentionally become pescatarian recently because I’ve come to realize that fish have a lot of nutritional value. So far, my meal plan looks like this:
Breakfast
- 3 eggs
- 1 slice of Ezekial bread toasted
- Mixed berry smoothie with banana, peanut powder, collagen peptides, chia, creatine, non-fat greek yogurt, and water
Lunch
- 2 tin cans of sardines, mashed
- Non-fat greek yogurt
- Tzaziki sauce
- Lemon
- Black pepper
- 2 slices of Ezekial bread toast or one ezekial tortilla, depending on my mood
Dinner
- Shrimp kebabs made with olive oil and veggies
- 1 corn roll or asparagus
Some days I’ll switch out my dinner for a salmon salad / salmon wrap, or I’ll change the shrimp kebabs for a shrimp ceasar wrap with a nice avocado oil based dressing. Being pescatarian is really great because it’s easier to make, shelf life lasts very long, and it’s generally cheaper than buying meats.
Right now I am on ~ 1000 calorie a day. Still have some weight to loose.
Breakfast: oatmeal with 1/2 cup of milk 2% + vitamins.
Lunch: most often a frozen healthy meal ~400cal or salad with meat + fruits.
Dinner: coffee with 2% 1/2 cup of milk, and usually 2 seeded thin toasts with 1tbs of sour cream / sometimes added some hard boiled eggs.
Snacks: sometimes crunchy rice rolls with honey, fruits or a tiny tiny bit of sweets (chocolate/cake etc)
May I recommend very low carb? No need to count calories and the weight just vanishes quickly
If you make high meat and meat fat you won’t lose muscle either
A couple of warnings: it takes up to a few weeks to become used to running on fat instead of sugar (running on fat is how it works), you will need extra salt during the first few weeks; see the keto community for more advice
I appreciate the advice! My problem is that I just love carb, like crazy.
And I only need to keep it up for about +60 days more.
I know very low calories with keto is the way to go if I want it fast, but so far I’m only about 60 days in with 30lbs loss, so that’s not too shabby in my books :D and I still can eat a bit of cheesecake. A tiny one, but it is still cheese cake!!
