20 carbs

Whats your macros?

What you doing for fibre? All that protein

If you are going to do low carb gradually decrease it to that amount. Let your body get somewhat adjusted.

20 carbs, on a 2k cut. wth

Theres no way you taking in any kinda fat (which your body needs) with just 20 carbs, unless you drinking olive oil with every meal

If it's net carbs this is easily done

hopefully its net carbs.

I'm doing the same low carb kind of diet. My net carbs are between 20-30.

I'm eating alot of broccoli, spinach, peppers, sprouts.
Usually always cooked with some garlic and olive oil.

Lots of good food choices.
Almost every morning I have some eggs fried with a tablespoon of butter with some bacon.

Cheese is high fat low carb. but keep in moderation.

Vegetables cooked in olive oil is pretty much my go to side.

I made a low carb broccoli cheddar soup that was fukkin amazing. whcih was very low carb.

lots of meat. I don't even just stick with boring chicken breast either.
Steak, chicken wings, ribs..fukk it..if I ain't getting carbs I'm gonna enjoy my protein and fat haha

net carbs = Carb count minus fiber count

so for example, if brocolli has like 5g of total carbs, but 4g of fiber, the net carb for that would be only 1g of carbs

What is a net carb?

Fats are supper easy on low carb diets:

Burgers, chicken thighs, etc

Net carb=Carbs minus fiber. For example if a cup of veggies has 10 grams of carbs but 6 grams of fiber, you would only consider that 4 net carbs.

Whats your reasoning behind not counting fiber?

I remember last year I read you shouldn't count it

Then this year I read that you should count it

Just trying to get more info. im doing a cut now, and couting macros for the first time, but I include fiber

Fiber counters the blood sugar spike that carbs cause by slowing down your digestion and making you feel full for a longer time. So if you're eating lots of fiber you can probably get away with slightly more carbs.

Depends on what you mean by counting it. Relative to carbs, it isn't digested so there isn't a need to count it towards your carbs.
