To continue the topic in last week’s video, I thought I’d share a recent full day of eating since I’ve been in a fat loss phase myself.

This day is an example of a low fat, high-ish carb approach to weight loss. I’m fairly active and regularly CrossFit, run, and lift, so eating this way helps me still fuel with carbs for workouts.

Now, I have to preface this with a few things…

• Of course, everyone’s different. This most likely isn’t exactly what’s right for you. Your overall amount food will vary, and you may do better with a different balance of carbs and fat as I explained in last week’s video.

• While low fat diets can be effective for weight loss, they’re not optimal for hormonal health. So I wouldn’t recommend eating really low fat for too long.

• For some context, the total calories and macros for this day were approximately: 140 g protein, 150 g carbs, 36 g fat, 1484 calories.

• My maintenance calories are around 1900 to 2000 per day, so this is really low for me! I’ve found I have to get pretty aggressive in order to see change. Because of that, and my history with adrenal fatigue, I have been doing refeed days and diet breaks to keep my metabolism from adapting and my hormones healthy. I also haven’t been doing long, intense workouts on days my calories are extra low.

All that being said, I know seeing examples can be really helpful. Hopefully this gives you some ideas to apply to your own diet, whether or not you want to try eating low fat.
