65%/30%/5%

Can someone give me a meal plan with these percentages for the day, give me an idea on what to eat to get these numbers right because it seems I ate 41% Protein, 54% Fat and the rest in carbs..

Thanks,
~Kim~

It is a pity you dont like egg yolks - as the whites on their own have lots of protein and only a little fat, whereas the whole egg has a better percentage of fat/protein/carbs for our WOE.
Also eating different 'salad veggies' from lettuce would up your carbs too and help even out the percentages.

Hey! I could start trying to eat the yolks to try and get my numbers straightened out. As far as veggies I eat a lot of different kinds but I do like to eat salad at dinner and I usually chop of cucumber of whatnot and put it in it. Should I add an extra TBSP of olive oil to my salad to help my fat intake?

Adding butter or olive oil will certainly help.

Take a look at my Fitday journal from previous days. I try my best to maintain these percentages.

since you don't like the yolk and youls have about 5 grams of fat 1/2 tablespoon of butter or oil added to the whites as you cooked them should make up for it and get your eggs back in Atkins ratio

I reall have to ask are you still feeling that hungry? are you feeding only your hunger and stopping as soon as it is satisfied?

Did you possibly mean 4 oz of ground beef? That would alter your percentages quite a bit.

I was just playing around with some numbers to see what I would get for my percentages but I ended up using a half cup this morning. I'm not all that hungry during the day now and I have cut down a lot of the portions I eat.

I find that when I eat more fat I feel less hungry. I think most of us do.

whew 4 cups of cooked ground beef is a lot to be eating along with everything else.

lol I know, I think I Would have gotten sick if I ate that much ground beef...
