A change of diet.

Category: health,in the kitchenjkt @ 18:25

I’m looking at changing my diet.

Currently I heavily use carbohydrates but I’m wanting to cut that right down on a Monday-Friday basis while leaving myself free to load up as much as I want on them at the weekends (so really this is a Monday-Friday diet change)

Before I start this, I want to get some decent meal plans / food ideas down so I’m not struggling to find things to eat from day one.

I’m looking to initially cap my carb intake at around 30g daily, and finding foods that will give me my required calories (~3000-3500/day) without there being tons of carbs is proving challenging.

By challenging, I mean:
* One of the biscuits, of which I normally consume a pack of ~25 in one sitting, contains 7g carbs!
* One Kitkat (I’m a 4 finger guy), contains 28g of carbs. I normally have 1-2/day while at work (free tuck shop == dangerous)

So this is going to be quite a drastic change, but one I’m quite looking forward to.

What foodstuffs / meals can you suggest which will do what I’m looking for? Meat/fish are obviously big wins, and I’m especially interested in food with high protein/fat content, but there must be many high calorie food stuffs which are evading my searches / trains of thought.

Any ideas will be gratefully received.
