Protein & Fat

So I am new to this low carb thing.. I’m doing great keeping my carbs under control but I keep exceeding my daily fat & protein by a lot! Is this bad? What am I doing wrong? TIA!

    jeepin_monma4bc8  im assuming your following just low carb, and not ketogenic ? How many carbs are you wanting to stay under ?  Maybe list a basic day of eating for us to see. 😊

    Also- poissibly you have your slider bars set wrong for goals. I would play with them and your daily caloric counts see if that helps. If your new to low carb”, I wouldn’t be so strict at first on the protein and fats, let your body and brain adjust to a smaller change then tweak as you go. Even on ketogenic, I didn’t beat myself up if I went over on them, then it came naturally to be able to stay under, WAY under.

  • My plan is to work my way to Keto but for now I’m just trying to get the hang of low carb, I’ve never had to diet until now. Baby #2 broke my metabolism lol anyways, I eat a lot of eggs and cheese, lunch meats, tons of veggies, I’ve cut out bread, sweets, soda, as much sugar as I can. I’m having a very hard time reaching my water goals each day, that’s the hardest part. I feel like I have to gag it down after a while.. i have been staying well below my carb goals but exceed the fat and protein by a long shot! I’ll try to attach pictures of what I ate yesterday for you to see.
