Meat

[Moretta]

Just wondering how many ozs of meat is everyone eating throughout the day.

I am eating 8 oz of meat and 9 oz of fish. I was going by the example given in Dr. A's book.

I think I need to be increasing my fat intake and cutting down to 6 ozs for my protein at each sitting.

Looking forward to hearing what others are doing on this.

Thanks.

If you look at the recipes in the back of the book, the meat servings per person is 4-8 ounces. But the real measure of how much you should eat is your appetite. If you are satisfied in eating 4 ounces, then that's all you eat. If it takes 8 ounces to satisfy you, then eat 8 ounces. Just keep in mind that Atkins is a high fat diet, not a high protein one.

Don't be afraid of feeling hungry...one of the side effects of ketosis/lipolysis is appetite suppression.

I have never ever measured my meat.. I eat until I am full

Our protein intake should only be at 30% and I always go over that.

But it says to not intake more than 30% of protein. So how would you track down your protein then.

What is your fat and carb intake like?

Just to clarify for others who might be reading this thread. It's 30% of our total daily calorie intake. Fats at about 65% and carbs about 5%

Its rougly in the 50% total for the day.

My fat is roughly in 45-58ish% total for the day.

What foods are you eating that are high in fat during the day.

Thanks.

Carbs 4-5% total.

The Carbs seem to be right.

I think I have a high protein intake and need to reduce it and up my fat intake.

I tend to eat high protien as well. That is probably why I am hitting a platue right now. I didn't think of it in the high fat not high protien way.

But, I am right there with you. What can I eat that is just fat?

All I can think of is pork rinds and butter by the stick.

Exactly that is what my thought was, which I dont have a problem with neither of these items. I guess we can also include heavy cream to make something with since I don't drink coffee.
