Hi Everyone. I am just coming up to 4 years carnivore and am very consistently strict with just meat, eggs, a little bit of butter and a little bit of cheese every now and again. Before carnivore I was keto for about a year. This way of eating has completely cured the bulimia that I struggled with for twenty years and I do not have any health conditions/ concerns. I have bounced between doing very high fat carnivore and a higher protein approach but cannot seem to find a balance that makes me feel good with my weight. I am not fat by any means but I find myself feeling uncomfortable in my clothes after a period of time on one approach after having some success. I have recently started tracking calories after listening to Judy Cho and have been aiming for 2000 (I am 5'8 and 36yrs) as her suggestion is that anything long-term below this kind of threshold will be detrimental. I have certainly been significantly below this in the past and whilst on carnivore more recently. I do crossfit three times a week, road bike twice and will fit in a run and/ or yoga if possible. I am to be honest confused if I am gaining muscle or fat as some days one seems more obvious than the other (the crossfit is a fairly new addition since Christmas before which is was primarily just doing cardio) Should I plough on with the calorie tracking approach and see what consistency brings or is there an obvious change I should be making. Any experience, suggestions or guidance greatly appreciated.
