Fat/Carbs on PSMF

[HardWeightLoss]

So, Lyle states here https://forums.lylemcdonald.com/showthread.php?t=1970
that you should restrict your meals to 3-5 grams of carbs, assuming you eat 4-5 times a day, what if you only eat twice a day, is it still viable to eat larger amounts of fat/carbs as long as they don't pass the set macros you have for PSMF?

i.e. having 10 grabs of fat/carbs in one meal, then another 10 in another.
assuming you have only 20g a day to deal with.

And I have heard alot of people bad mouth milk on PSMF, but I literally can't stomach my protein shake without milk, the protein shake + semi skimmed milk is considered as one of my meals so the milk has about 9g of carbs and 3.6g of fat for the 200ml that I use, then I get the rest of carbs/fat from chicken/veggies at dinner, and still fall within the 20g limitation. I just want some clarification so I don't undergo hell for the next month just to find out I did the diet incorrectly.

It's perfectly fine. It's about the macros per day, not per meal.

A diet does not succeed nor fail with those minor details. The worst that can happen is that you'll lose 0.001 pound less fat. If you think that's hell, I don't want to know what happens to you if something bad happens...

Aim to keep it as low as you possibly can a little bit here or there won't hurt too much as the other guy said. If you can find some Fairlife.milk use it its higher protein
Anyway...Adherence>perfection

If you don't mind soy milk, the chocolate Soy Slender is actually really good, and only 1 carb per cup.

But to your main point, exactly what Determinism said. The total over the day is what matters, not per meal. And the diet that works best is the one you can stick to.

I like a couple big meals instead of a lot of smaller ones, so I would often eat a giant RFL brownie and come in at 18g carbs for the meal. Then just eat plain chicken and veg at the other meal. I still lost a few pounds per week doing it this way.

Thank you guys for the information, it was very insightful, but I have one more question, the carb count in terms of macros, should this include the dietary fibre or is it not included in the macros for the day?
