Felt much better today so I did a little baking 😋
The almond flour muffins turned out really well!
They’re 177 cals (8P 6C 15F & 3g of Fiber) so they’re fairly dense but I tend to have issues sometimes getting enough fat in my daily intake without just adding more oil to my meals so I’m excited to be able to have a batch of these in the fridge to pull from when I need to :D.
Final update: I’ve been doing ~1200 for a few weeks now with slow but steady weight loss (I’m 5’0” tall and fairly sedentary) and I’ve been really pleased with the changes in my approach to food. I’ve specifically been working on eating small, nutrient dense portions to re-regulate my fullness cues and, in the past week or so I’ve really noticed the lack of hunger between meals due to upping my proteins, healthy fats, and fiber while lowering my carbs. I can’t wait until I hit my goal weight (about 7-10 more pounds) so I can inch my way back up to maintenance and keep up with the moderate low carb way of eating. It feels sustainable and I’m really excited to be able to have some more flexibility to add more variety back into my meals again 😅
I hope everybody had a successful day and, if not, I hope you enjoyed it anyway 🫶🏼.
Back atcha tomorrow 🫡
