A while back I posted how I was gonna think a bit more about my diet in general, in the sense of "calorie restriction without dropping intake of essentials".
So this got my attention: I want about 1/3 Protein and 2/3 (the right) Carbs, plus a little (good) fat. OK..25g Protein would then take 50g Carbs in the form of, let`s say...Stir-Fry Vegetables. To get 50g from those veggies takes an entire 1lb. bag! And that`s just one meal...to get the 1g/lb. lean body weight worth of Protein/day would require about six of those meals...that`s a *lot* of veggies! No, I`m not doing that, and I sure do eat some other Carbs too, but still... And I could easily be doing 30g Protein for five meals instead of 25g for six, and that`d take even *more* veggies! Gee.. without starches/grains/etc. just getting the Protein/Carb ratio right for a few meals is a challenge and I really get enough grains from my daily fiber intake (though I do still eat a little bread every day ).
Maybe the weirdest thing about that for me is that I never calc`ed it before
