How do resistant carbs reflect in calorie count?

[artesin]

So I find it very hard to eat frequently enough to break 3k a day so I have to make two shakes a day to ensure I manage. The main component of these is oat powder which is approximately 10% resistant starch. Should I take this into consideration when doing my calorie counts? My diet is very carb rich so I want to make sure that Im not actually being too short changed when I tally my consumption.

i don't know that anyone in the world is on top of their diet, nutrition, sleep, training, and stress enough to micromanage their micros to such a degree.

Damn. I can do that in 1 meal.

Try eating some poptarts for breakfast. Also try eating some bacon and eggs for breakfast on bread with butter and lots of tomato sauce. Then try eating some nice steak at munch with rice. Then at diner have a nice big fillet of fish and some veggies. Then in the day snack on whatever you want.

i'm the kind of guy that takes awhile to adjust to eating a new amount of calories, whether it's high or low, but once i do, i'm happy to stay there most of the time. so when i was eating 3k calories, it took me forever to get comfortable hitting that target each day, but once i got there, it was easier.

you just need to work at it and be more open minded when choosing foods.

Worrying about how many calories to reduce 10% of your count of one food that makes up a small part of your TDI?

Sounds like a good way to drive yourself insane.

OP, there are 100 ways to make this complicated if you want to? I have bad news, macro values, food labels, and how serving size has some variance. AS do the fat contests in cuts of meat that say things like 93% lean. Some things that say calorie free, aren't, and there is rounding in everything.

Or, you could just track your intake and results and make adjustments.

Really though you will end up just tracking intake and results, so why not skip the trippin and just jump to that step now?

If you really want to micromanage it, it will depend on if its heated, cooled and reheated.

There's no need to eat frequent to break 3k. 3 meals will do just fine.

One easy way to eat more calories is to eat more fat.
