How much fat can I have?
I am sure I have read this somewhere but cannot find it for the life of me lol!
I think I have gone over my fat allowance today at 46g as I treated myself to some garlic bread! I am within protein and calories; protein under 30g and cals under 1,100 at the mo although I will bump this up a little later to 1,200ish.
Thank you :-)
Also, completely unrelated question, when should DH start licorice root and OLE? How far in advance of TTC? XTough times don't last,
tough people DO.

fat should be 20-30% of your calories for the day. This ranges between 25-60 g depending on how many cals you're eating. NO one should ever go below 25 g of fat for any reason at all.
You are fine at 46 g fat, that's not really even a cheat. If you're only eating 1200 calories (which I normally do not recommend but in Sophie's case, she has a fair bit of weight to lose so she is allowed to eat the lower range of calories - but Sophie do be sure you are not counting low carb veg in your totals for the day because those are FREE.
30 g protein is NOT ENOUGH. LE Diet is 40-50 g protein. 30 g is not safe.
DH start licorice root 2 cycles (6 weeks) before TTC. OLE is as far in advance as you like but at least 6 weeks.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Ok I will get some more protein! I thought I would struggle with eating too much protein but think it will be opposite!
Is there a list on here of low carb/high carb veg?
thank you atomic :-) xTough times don't last,

I also had the opposite problem when I was swaying. I had a heck of a time getting enough.
Even if you need a bite of meat or two every day, ya gotta get it from somewhere.
There is a list on here somewhere, basically anything that is sweet or starchy is high carbs, the unsweet, unstarchy ones are low carb!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

I also struggle to get enough protein. I've started having Quest bars (180 cals, 20g protein from whey) to help. If I don't get enough protein I start craving cheese which I can't eat enough of to meet my protein requirements without going over on fat!

I found a wonderful vegan protein powder called Vega Protein Smoothie. It comes in many yummy flavors and only has 15 g of protein. I like it because it tastes yummy and I don't get any carbs with it. One serving is only 90 calories so I add some fruit and almond/soy milk and am still at only 180 calories!
I am trying to loose a little and do this as a meal replacement, since I am weaning DS2.

I seem to get enough protein. I get it from potatoes, white bread, white rice, noodles and pasta. I find it hard to stick to the 50g! We're all so different.

I can't eat that many carbs-'I'll gain too much weight. Instead, I eat a lot of veggies, fruits, and grains high in protein- quinoa, brown rice, and whole grain pasta. I do have a serving of meat a day- chicken/turkey as I am doing the fertility version of the diet. Even doing that, sometimes I still fall a little short on protein depending on what else I have had during the day. I have switched things up though and have yogurt in the morning and that is helping greatly!
I just ate enough protein for three people with both of my boys. I find it funny I struggle with it now! My habits have done a complete 180 since swaying!
GL ladies!!

I hope it's OK to post this question here atomic. (I didn't think it really needed a new thread.) For swaying girl with the one-attempt method, do you think there is additional benefit in using a...
