I've been doing low carb for a couple of weeks but struggling as I find it too restrictive. I have started doing exercise 3 times a week which burns off about 600 cals a time and I'm finding I haven't got enough energy to sustain it with low carb eating.
I'd like to try calorie counting. I have mfp which I will use to log, but I have some questions if anyone would be kind enough to help?
What do you tend to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner? What do you eat for snacks or as a small treat? I am trying to avoid white bread, potatoes and pasta as they don't agree with me but I will eat sweet potatoes, brown rice and wholemeal bread/pittas etc if I feel the need to. I also have a massive sweet tooth!!
How many calories should I start on? I was thinking either 1700 or 1800 or is that too high? I have around 4 stones to lose.
Would love to hear from some experienced calorie counters if possible
