    yes and no - yes if I could eat pizza all day no if its chicken breast and fish and 10% carbs

    I found your problem :p . I prefer the method of eating 50% carbs.

    LOL - it seems like I am always eating - which sounds great - but in truth uhggggggggg

    I am a huge eater, so i dont have that issue.. but i refuse to live on chicken and white fish... Its crappy enough to have to do that while cutting.

    Just impossible to get the amount of fat and protein you need in under a certain number of calories - I would need to eat 8000 calorie/day but i would never make it out of the gym to burn them off - it can be tiring at times

    What numbers are you actually trying to hit?

    1300 calories to lose, which is what I'm currently eating. Maintenance is around 1400-1500.

    I'm following this thread bc very recently I've become ravenous after losing the last 5lbs (59lbs total lost). I still have 15-20lbs to lose. It's like overnight, I've suddenly had to move from 1lb a week to .5lb a week and it's messing with me.
