~2100 calories.
I still eat out fairly often though, so lunch/dinner are always changing but paying attention to the macros.
I also am starting to experiment with some recipes, like yesterday for lunch, I made breaded chicken tenders + cheesy hot sauce. Breaded the tenders by dipping them in beaten egg, then rolling them in flax seed and frying it.
Next up is pizza crust made from dried cauliflower.

why skinless? get the damn skin in there for the chicken.. its a great source of fat.. why would u eat bacon, then not wanna eat chicken with skin??
p/s read that link i gave u.. the best way is to eat some carbs every day so that your body doesnt have to convert protein into carbs.. your brain does need some carbs and your body can make it, but its easier to provide it to prevent muscle catabolism unless you are eating a shit load of protein already
and since i eat around 50-70g of carbs everyday.. i dont refeed, my muscles are always full, i have enough carbs to work out, and the carb count is low enough that my body still burns fat for energy...
remember your body burns what you feed it.. so if you are NOT in ketosis but you feed your body 1000g of fat, guess what? it'll burn that fat for energy.. you dont have to be in "ketosis" to burn fat.. you just have to reduce carbs and get most of your calories from fat and protein
