That’s an awfully low amount of carbs. A lot of people tend to lose energy and suffer in the gym when they eat so few carbs. Maybe you’re fine like that, but you might want to consider getting some more in your diet. Oatmeal or quinoa at breakfast can help a lot, and beans are really really slow burning carbs as well. Of course, fruits and veggies are the best way to get healthy carbs.
I don’t know why, but I have been having MAD cravings for oatmeal. Old fashioned slow cooked, not that instant crap. I don’t know why, maybe it’s the chewy texture. I have been tinkering with some old Italian recipes going back to my roots. A fig or piece of melon with prosciutto wrapped around it. Covering some plain chicken breasts with some marinara sauce. Damn this reminds me how hungry I am.
