Im really trying to cut the sugar and carbs from my diet slightly, as im turning 38 and getting a little soft around the edges!
I aim for 2600 cals a day, 180lb 5.11ft
I keep 400 cals for dinner which is what ever the other half cooks so i try and get 2200 for breakfast and while at work.
I drive therefor cant heat anything up and really try to keep things as simple as possible.
Im hoping to list my current diet and hope someone can suggest some small changes or cheap foods i can add as im falling about 400cals short at the moment.
Currently i have the following
250ml coconut milk (lactose intolerant)
150g granola
Banana
3x fish oil
100g chicken
Tortilla wrap
Lacto free cheese
Mayo
20g dark choc
Same as above plus..
Apple
Dinner
2eggs
1 egg white
100g green peas.
Totals are P 122 C 233 F 82 sugar 73
I want to drop the granola as it has 100g carbs and 30g sugar.
What im thinking of trying...
Breakfast
4 toast
2 eggs
1 egg white
This will save me time in the evening also allowing me to fast for longer over night.
250ml oat milk
4 tbsp peanut butter
200g chicken
150g peas
40g lacto free cheese
40g dark choc
Apple
Dinner
Totals would be P 126 C 136 F 92 sugar 44
So i good drop in carbs and sugar but im falling 300 cals short of 2200 and struggling how to add something else
Sorry for such a long post but its doing my head in as im on a tight budget, not being able to heat things at work ans being lactose intolerant means ive had to drop protien shakes and milk from my diet over the last year
