Paleo diet?

[Catrin]

Thanks for your replies...and I knew I wouuld get called out on the age thing..

As for fat...I have been eating the skin on my chicken which I would think would be okay...or am I wrong with that? I also enjoy almonds. When I cook eggs I cook them in butter.

I track my food on The Daily Plate and usually get about 1200-1500 calories/day. I try to keep my carbs between 50-100 grams, fat between 70-90 and protien stays around 100. Hmmm.

I will stick with it for a few more weeks to see what happens. I guess I am not too concerned with the whole weight thing..I would just like to lean out which I definately could stand to do. ( 5' 6" and about 140-145) Thanks for your input and I will keep you posted. I will gladly accept any other recommendations too.

I am 5'3, 134.5 pounds and get 1,650-2,100 calories, protein between 115-140 grams (rest days vs non-rest days), fat averages between 50-60 grams currently and carbs around 180 (obviously I am not Paleo right now). Long ride days, or days with multiple physical activities, I really try to NET 1,300 calories but have been unable to do that.

Your current calorie targets are the same mine used to be before they convinced me that I needed to eat more...

I don't how I am going to divide my calories up when I try my Primal/Paleo experiment but it is going to be interesting! I do wonder about the adjustment period as the body switches energy sources, but we will see how it goes. I have plenty of fat around my middle that my body can use for energy, so I want to encourage it to do so
