And thats fine, bro. But again, this is the "Weight loss thread" not what can get a meathead to 8% bodyfat the fastest, keep that in mind. And yes you are right, calorically wise of course a 180cal can of tuna will be more satiating than 2 tablespoon of 180 cal olive oil. But you cannot discount that a fatty steak will be more satiating than a can of low fat water packed tuna when calories are discounted.
The question becomes how can I lose fat and sustain that weight loss over time while not feeling starved all the time. And for me, its been to increase fat eat moderate protein and cut the carbs. Because for me eating that type of diet, Its hard for me to go more than like 1500-1700 calories per day when I was counting them. Not even talking about keto here since I have only been on keto for like 4 weeks trying to break that 195 lb mark stall.
Again, in my experience when I eat carbs like rice or potato, or bread typically I feel full, almost grossly full, but then I crash and the cravings and hunger come back much faster. This is why I cut the carbs. I have went from 260 down to 195 in 5 months. Am I saying that this is the be all end all of dieting? Fuck no. There are other ways to lose the fat. But it sure has worked for me so far in a relatively short amount of time. And I dont do cardio or work out. Im sedetary as fuck. Best of all I wasnt even counting my macros and caloric intake after a few months because when I did, I knew I was in a deficit naturally.
Typically before me trying keto, I was probably consuming somewhere around +/-100g of carbs per day. And that included breads, wraps, potatoes and rice. I also practiced short term fasting, like 17 is hours?, even before reading about it. My last meal was probably around 6-8PM, and the next meal was the next day around 1 PM followed by the dinner, again at 6-8PM.
