Are you talking about consuming only 1000 calories a day or being in a 1000 calorie deficit? I think sickmint79 was saying he shoots to be -500 a day and he couldn't do -1000. Not that he consumes only 500 a day.No I'm lifting to get more muscles and to increase strength.
I don't think I could do 500 calories very often I'd be grouchy af. My wife sometimes does 5:2 fasting which calls for something like that for 2 days.
I'll try 1000 for a daily goal and see how it goes. Thanks for your input.
Once I hit target weight I'll have to try some strategies to stay lean.
I'm currently at 240 and on the way down to 235.Based on the comments I see on FB in 98K member Carnivore group I'm in, we are already doing better if we are 20 lbs overweight vs many who are 80-100 lbs overweight. I'm surprised how many of my local car friends are 275-325 lbs, they don't really look it.
in the end you need to pick up healthy habits (go to the gym monday, go for a walk tuesday, etc.) make sensible substitutions (americano instead of pumpkin spice latte) and be pretty reasonable with food options (triple cheeseburger on the weekend, not every day) and that will go quite far and be sustainable.I'm definitely a fad diet guy for sure, but I think the positive is I've learned a lot in the last 5 years about Keto and all of the other strategies (WW, etc).
Usually my fall-off triggers are Halloween, T'giving and Xmas, no surprise. I think I'll limit how much candy we buy for Halloween and plan to run out of it rather than end up with 3 extra jumbo bags like we did last year.
I'm betting I'll like how I look at 210 based on past experience and I think 200 will be a struggle to maintain.
maybe them be beefy bois with muscle under there too. i have a hard time estimating weight after some point.Based on the comments I see on FB in 98K member Carnivore group I'm in, we are already doing better if we are 20 lbs overweight vs many who are 80-100 lbs overweight.

yah this, i was talking about 1000 deficit being the most i'd personally do. which i would also probably get to by eating a fair amount but being active to create the gap. 1000 a day as intake is quite low for anyone.Are you talking about consuming only 1000 calories a day or being in a 1000 calorie deficit?

If you're only consuming 1000 that seems a bit extreme
2000-2300What is a good calorie target for
6 feet tall
200 goal weight
Lift weight 3-4 times a week
Sedentary job
I'm thinking 1200-1500 in there
what will make this easier is if you plan the day or week beforehand. that way you're not like uhh what will i eat today? what will i have left? you can just be like on mwf i'll have the salad at chipotle with chicken and tomato and etc. and t th i'll have the buffalo chicken bowl from x... if you have things planned out and you largely eat the same routine, it will be easy for you to adjust based on what you see on the scale as well. eg. guess you should take off avocado from the chipotle salad or do half cheese etc. (easier the more you cook at home and measure exactly what you make)2000-2300
Chicken is a high protein/lower cal to help hit your goals.I'm thinking I try 1800-2000 and then see how that goes.
Right now it's a little tricky for me to balance counting carbs and calories and hit optimum protein.
20 net carbs + 1800 calories + 190 protein grams is eating very very clean. I think like Sick said before I'd have to add in a protein shake to hit the protein.
100% I would either plan my whole day the night before, or while I ate breakfast. That way, there was no wandering around the kitchen or pantry trying to figure out what I can or can't have, and saying fuck it and eating shit food.what will make this easier is if you plan the day or week beforehand. that way you're not like uhh what will i eat today? what will i have left? you can just be like on mwf i'll have the salad at chipotle with chicken and tomato and etc. and t th i'll have the buffalo chicken bowl from x... if you have things planned out and you largely eat the same routine, it will be easy for you to adjust based on what you see on the scale as well. eg. guess you should take off avocado from the chipotle salad or do half cheese etc. (easier the more you cook at home and measure exactly what you make)
imho i'd put in zero effort counting carbs, it's just making a more onerous difficult restricted diet to stick to. especially if it's just for the diet and not more of a lifestyle change. i target protein and calories and let the rest fall where they may. carbs are a better source for energy than fat and iirc there's multiple studies showing increased gym performance for people not on keto. if you're in a deficit, you'll be losing body fat, regardless of how many carbs you ate for the day, 20 or 200.I'm thinking I try 1800-2000 and then see how that goes.

Enjoy butter, olive oil, and if you need extra fats just get some MCT oilYeah I'm thinking I dial up the chicken and source additonal fats. I have been cooking with beef tallow and duck fat.
I'll need to dust off my chicken brining and marinade skills, chicken breast fresh out the package is bland as hell.
or bacon greaseI use Irish butter. MCT oil is dangerous for me, too much and I'll crap my pants.
I'm using olive oil on occasion but meats cooked in tallow or duck fat frankly taste much better.
Whatās wrong with dennys?!Yeah I could but beef tallow is more convenient and my kitchen doesn't smell like a Denny's at 9am.
