Hello folks, the following is my current diet. I have not really been counting calories. I have had this same diet for a year or so, but have cut down on the quantity recently. I am in my 40s, 6'1" 160 pounds. my goal is CR for longevity.
Lunch: GIANT leafy green salad - chard, kale, others.. with a table spook of olive oil, and some feta. Also, I will have a mixed bean chili. chickpeas black beans, tomato sauce maybe some cheese. + some almonds or macadamias (an ounce)
Dinner: GIANT bowl of mixed steamed veggies - broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower and more. some more nuts(an ounce), then maybe some more protein like 2-3 ounces of chicken, or some tofu, or edamame. I frequently have chickpea pasta, or some other natural carb/protein source.
I am thinking about 1800 calories is probably about right for me right now. out side of macro counts, am I missing any nutrients?
Newish to CR for longevity - critique my diet?
in CR Practice
