Spent a lot of time studying my 2018 logs tonight and found out what worked for me. I got to the 205 target range (202-209 on average) one time during 2018. That is when I started doing OMAD with a calorie target of 1500 per day. The month before that, I was solidly in the 212-217 range by doing 1500 calories on average, but using Fasting Fridays, followed by the Fasting Mimicking Diet for five days a month. I'm not going to wait until the end of January to make this change. I'm starting OMAD at 1500. As before, if a special breakfast or lunch occasion comes up, I'll take part. But mostly, I'll be OMAD. I will, however, rearrange my macros to be more carnivore based. This will be an interesting math problem (a lot of protein all at once will take some planning). A lot of fat will come with the protein as well, so I will have a hard time hitting high protein and moderate fat, but we'll see how it goes. Will target 25-30 total carb grams. I may do a protein coffee in the morning to stick with the "30 grams of protein upon waking" aspect of the 4-Hour Body plan.
