What does 1900-2000 calories/day look like on Paleo diet page

[smithfamily99]

I'm having a hard time getting above 1500 calories so I'd like to solicit some feedback from you on what you 1900 calorie + daily menu looks like to get ideas. I've lost very little doing Paleo over the last month because I suspect I'm flirting with starvation mode.

Thanks,
Molly

4 eggs with coconut oil, and greek yogurt with apple for breakfast

Salad with a number of vegetables, about 5 oz of meat, and some olive oil for lunch

dinner with a big piece of meat, sometimes fattier cuts like ground beef and then a potato with butter

snacks include a handful of nuts, glass of whole milk

if you want to keep track of what you eat, just go to cronometer.com and plug it in. that's a great way to determine what's going in

My sample day of 1966 calories consumed (gross). The day's activity was Les Mills Body Flow.

Breakfast: 1 tbsp heavy cream in my coffee, 2 HB eggs, Greek yogurt, a few strips of bacon and a green apple

"Lunch": coffee with another tbsp of heavy cream

Dinner: Sauteed vegetables and fresh pork sausage, a piece of leftover pork loin, some cheese, banana, 2 dark chocolate truffles

Total macros: 120g fat, 130g carbs, 99g protein (or a 54/26/20% F/C/P split)

I'm 27, female, 157lbs (<25% BF). This was a PMS-induced "refeed" day carbs-wise, after a full week of being under 70 a day.

What Does 200 Calories Look Like?



The short answer is it will vary wildly based on the fat content of the meal. The fattier the portion, the smaller the portion. Very calorically dense things: nuts, cheeses, chocolate, dried fruits. Those are some of the biggest stallers of weight loss. Of course, the most calorically dense thing a human being can consume is pure, rendered fat.

About 2000 calories:

Breakfast
2 cups cubed chicken breast
1 sweet potato

Snack
Chocolate (half a bar)

Lunch
Panda express-type teriyaki grilled chicken with a side of vegetables

Before dinner
3oz cheese

Dinner
12 oz wine
6oz salmon
vegetables
sweet potato

Dessert
Chocolate (half a bar)

Skip the chocolate, cheese and wine and you've got a good weight loss diet. Replace it with butter/fat on the potatoes and vegetables and maybe have some larger portions at lunch or fattier meats and you've got a much better diet.

And how does this help OP?

How does having a large list of pictures of dozens of foods in 200 calorie portions, allowing the OP to make a menu easily simply based on looking at the foods with whatever combination they so desire help them?
