So my macros are all off from where I want them. I have a really big weakness for nuts. I have been eating them a bit more than usual lately and I'm going to need to try to limit them and switch them out for a leaner protein source like chicken or fish. I also have a bad habit of reaching for a couple at night which I don't even need, but do because they are "allowed " in my calorie intake for the day or whatever silly reason I come up with for allowing them lol. I also have been adding whole milk to my whey instead of water, because it tastes amazing. Going to switch that out for either half water half milk or go down to a 2% milk. But, I'm really not a fan of foods that are not whole or not as they were intended, so water might be the way to go.
I'm shooting for 50% Protein/ 30% Fat and 20% Carbohydrates. What I have been doing looks more like 40/40/20 and I can't be eating that much fat if I want to lean out.
The carbs got a little out of hand today. I can tell because my belly is a bit swollen. Milk and nuts again lol.
Tomorrow is another day. This is quite the system you have to tweak and perfect until you get it right.
Hope everyone out there is well!

You could always counter the increase in fat by eating less carbs throughout the day. The fats from certain nuts are very good for you in moderation.

Oh yes, I know. But I'm already only eating a max of around 55 net carbs/day. I eat nuts at least 1 time a day but have been craving them more lately. Im eating up to 2-4 portions of nuts a day and trying to cut it back to around 1.
I'm alternating between HIIT weight days and speed endurance cardio days and on the lifting days I need more protein. So I'm just trying to find that balance. Thanks for the support!

Have you tried almond milk? I drink unsweetened almond milk and it's delicious, plus very low-calorie. I had to give up nuts and nut butters completely, because they were an addiction, especially the peanut butter. Instead of snacking between meals, I now only eat 4 meals + 1 evening snack a day. I wait until I'm hungry for a small meal and eat more of these meals a day, instead of 3 main meals and lots of snack foods, which is better for not feeling the pull of food all the time and has allowed me to eat only when I'm hungry and easily reduce my calories by 500. I, too, have to watch my fat, because it is highest in calories, and I need to control both my calories and the types of foods I eat in order to lose weight. Good luck with your plan!
