I didn’t know I could be comfortable doing this. I have eaten twice a day for many years.
But the other day I couldn’t eat dinner, and I wasn’t hungry when I arrived home.
Since then I’m trying the one meal a day thing (OMAD) and it’s working well so far. Still, my body and hormones need to adapt, but it’s going great so far!
You need 60g of protein a day, and the RDA for vitamins and minerals, maybe take a multivitamin like I do. I eat twice a day, one big meal and a small one.
I have Huel protein shake for breakfast, A purition shake for lunch, a field doctor healthy 500 or so calorie meal for dinner and a can of tinned fruit. I snack on fruit during the day too.
My field doctor meal was ‘Goan fish curry’ which was delicious. All gluten free & low in salt too.
It works out at under 1500 calories a day.
I was 71.10 kg this morning. A BMI of 25.2!
The only way I can maintain my weight is to eat as little as this.
Occasionally I treat myself to plain popcorn as well.
Ive been eating way too much lately. But without my atomoxetine, the current ap im on makes me think about food all the time. Ive put on too much weight. I used to be the skinniest dude ever.
Intermittent fasting helps with a diet. Having enough protein to keep you feeling full really does too especially if your male.
From what I understand 2 meals a day is still optimal. Eat within an 8 hour window or so but research and don’t sell yourself short. Look at what your eating and what you need to maintain or lose or whatever.
It’s important to furnish energy for the body. It’s dangerous if your not as it leads to problems down the line for sure.
It’s universal knowledge and people been doing it since the beginning of time. What works for me best is to set aside one hour a day, and then use that hour, where I will be feeding and nourishing my systems.
Carnivore/Keto framework works best for me. Nutrient dense, satiating foods, what’s not to like about it.
I have done omad before. I was going to do it again, I saw a nutritionist today and she told me to do two meals a day. So I’m gonna do that with 16::8 intermittent fasting
