my appetite at the moment is non-existent.
a protein shake with a couple of supplements tossed in (water not milk)
couple of scrambled eggs with a sprinkle of cheese maybe a piece of bacon if i've been running as a treat for lunch
then dinner is one or two wholemeal wrap with cajun seasoned chicken breast and some basic salad.
and one whole milk flat white a day
doing intermittent fasting outside of 10am and 6pm so it's quite a tight window to fit it all in but i can easily go till 2 or 3pm on the protein shake before i'm like i suppose i better have lunch. i tend to grab dinner around 5 just so i'm not rushing it before the "deadline" rather than because i'm hungry.
a lot of days i'm closer to 1200kcal when i put stuff into myfitnesspal so i have to throw in extra stuff like a bag of frozen steamed veg or a spoon of peanut butter/handful of cashews. but i also dont bother tracking a couple of incidental things which can push the calorie count up so i like to sit around 1300-1400 in tracked calories to give myself a buffer for missed calories without wasting all my effort.
the odd day i might get a tummy gurgle or two at the very end of the day but generally dont feel hungry ever and certainly never malnourished.
i miss being able to just smash carbs though. i'd eat my entire daily allowance in pasta if i was allowed.
