[QUOTE="jasinc81, post: 88114, member: 16527"] I generally eat broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, mushrooms, asparagus, celery, spinach, and a few carrots on my low carbs days. I also am addicted to avocados, so my meals are based around that. On my high carbs days I add steel cut oats with raspberries & blackberries, sweet potatoes, brown rice, and quinoa. I try to stay clear of high FODMAP foods like gluten and apples because they upset my stomach and make me extremely gassy. As for fats, I get them from eggs, avocados, coconut oil, olive oil, almonds, beef and pork. I love celery with almond butter (pure, no additives or sugar) as a snack. I tend to stay away from supplements like whey, but when I'm in a pinch I'll have a protein shake in-between meals. What I have found with this eating plan, is I get to enjoy all the foods I like. For example, when I did Keto, I LOVED to eat lettuce-wrapped bacon cheeseburgers and polish sausage, but missed some fruits and oatmeal. On the contrary, when on a lower fat diet, cheeseburgers and polish sausage take up a majority of my fat macros. Now, I can eat my cheeseburgers during the week and enjoy oatmeal on the weekends. Takes away the restrictions and allows me to train hard without the fatigue of low carb. I also may have a "cheat meal" occasionally to keep my sanity but it's rare as I don't really crave things like pizza, chocolate, etc. (except halo top ice cream) Even though you may not "feel" like you're over-training, since your body is in a constant calorie restriction, it's basically under stress. You could even try reverse-dieting for a month by slowly adding calories until you reach maintenance. Run this for awhile and then go back into a caloric deficit. I've been trying to "heal" my adrenals for the past 6 months by reducing cardio, eating maintenance, and restricting stimulants like caffeine.
