Most of my carbs come from veggies, ( no potato's ).
I learned on this diet that almost everything has carbs, From lettuce to broccoli.
I always assumed it was starchy type foods, but I learned if a person eats, their going to cat carbs to.
I do very little pasta, no potato's but I will do rice for lunch sometimes. I try to no eat any starchy carbs for supper with the exception of
a turky subway once in a while when I get through with my walks.
I live about 25 miles outside of town and take my son to martial arts on Tuesday and Thursdays so I've been walking the river walk while he practices.
My read that if you just eat around the 1200 calorie mark you will lose weight, so I was thinking that if I kept my intake low I was going to lose especially working out regular.
When I first started losing energy I thought it was due to not having any low starchy carbs in my diet and that's when I started incorporating rice into my lunches. ( still was just counting calories, and rice and pasta are high calorie so I avoided the calories, not the carbs )
The app shows my BMI at 30.5.
I still have some gut so I'm not solid by any means YET.
I do intend to up my calorie intake, but what types of foods or meals should I eat so I have the energy boost without the weight gain?
Must of had my head in the clouds thinking that I could eat like I have been which was very light and low fat and still increase my enegery level.
I'm not sure how you would classify my workouts as far as intensity, but I'm putting all I've got into them.
I'm soaked when I'm through working out, underwear soaking wet to.
The 3 1/2 mile walks are averaging 15 min miles. not fast but again, I'm soaked when I'm done.
Should I look at taking the Protein Powder to help boost my protein levels up also ?
