i am a 6'5 male that weights 215 pounds. The app says I should be eating 200 grams of protein.. Does that sound right? Also, if it is... How am I supposed to hit that goal without eating large amounts of meats?

Under calorie but gain weight
i had been logging the Japanese sweet potato as 130+ cal per 100g but I saw the box that comes with the nutrition information today and realised that it is 89cal per 100 so I've been under-logging my calorie for like 200+ cal each day. However, I had gained weight. I am confused now. Should I adjust and log the correct…

recently i've gained back some weight, which was my goal (although i gained more body fat back than i had previously :neutral: ) and i'm torn between maintenance with where i'm at, or if i should lose a little of what i gained. idk how to get rid of bodyfat without eating at a deficit and lots of cardio, or can you lose…

so frustrating and feel like i have no control :(
Hey everyone! After a 2 year battle with anorexia ending in 2012, I had just only finally (within the last few months) been able to deal with my anxiety around food and eat intuitively, rather than binging or under eating as i did previously. This is in part due to the fact i moved away from home to study in a different…

I can't get my protein up
I'm trying to keep my carbs under 40%, because that is important for my maintenance. Easiest way to do that is to up my protein and to some extent fat. But I'm having an awful time. I've been trying for 3 weeks. I have eggs and fruit or plain yogurt and granola with fruit for breakfast. I usually have some kind of meat…

Calories Increased, but more hungry. Normal?
I've recently switched from weight loss to maintaining. As a result, I've added 300 calories to my daily budget. I'm about a month into this transition and all of sudden I've started to noticed I feel hungry more often. I'm not starving but I have that empty stomach feeling. I haven't changed what I eat since increasing…

Not eating enough?
If I hear my husband say "starvation mode" one more time this week, I swear I will slap him. I've had a busy week which has meant lots of walking on a couple days which means lots of fitbit calorie adjustments, and not a lot of time to eat as much as I maybe should. I also started a new workout (JM Ripped in 30), so I know…

set back
I have been active and building muscle mass for the past 2 months. Saw results in me and how my clothes fit. Mind set was good.... Then 2 weeks ago we were heading home from a shopping trip. We were stopped at a red light when all of a sudden we felt a sharp push from behind our stopped car. All of a sudden I fell forward…

Are your maintain CI goals accurate?
I'm not at maintenance levels yet (far from it!) but the other day when I weighed myself on my bathroom scale, I got to wondering about it. Because my bathroom scale is one of those "fancy" ones that calculates your BF% and stuff like that - on the scale, my "maintenance level" is about 1650. So I changed my goal to…

Is this okay for maintaining?
Hello everyone! I transitioned into maintenance about three weeks ago. I initially set a maintenance range of 191-196. Since I have been in maintenance I am actually down to 188. I'm not worried about the weight loss since I eventually want to get down into the low 180's as my long-term/permanent maintenance range anyways.…

Which is most difficult to accomplish maintaining weight vs losing weight

What are your thoughts? I love the pursuit of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it keeps me occupied daily. My goal is to remain…

First trimester: gaining weight or water retention?
I am trying to get plenty of healthy calories for the growing baby, but I don't want to gain weight too rapidly. At 5'8", my goal for this trimester is 3-4 lbs (160-161) but at 5-6 weeks, I'm already pushing 159.5. How do I know I'm eating the right number of calories? I don't want to eat too little or too much... Right…

What's your calorie goal and how do you distribute them throughout the day?
Curious because one of my plans for maintenance allocates 750 calories for lunch, but I often see people eating two slices of pizza for lunch (close to 800 calories). That is doable, but pulling calories from somewhere else, but my preferred method of watching my intake is to know how much I have available for each meal…

No Judgement: what little things/weird habits to help maintain your weight
Backstory: I've been at my goal weight for approximately 9 months now. Stats: female, 5'4", 127lbs +/-. Lost 80lbs I use to have a sweet tooth.

Please help me with maintaining weight loss
Hello friends! I reached my goal weight of 120.5 lbs a few weeks ago. I decided to increase my calories, especially carbs, but now find myself 5 lbs heavier. It's been a few weeks so it cannot be all water. I exercise the same but have thrown in some miles of running to the weight lifting. Running makes me want to eat a…

I'm not sure this is the idea of maintenance....
I hit goal about 4 weeks ago and have been maintaining since, so have had about 500 extra cals a day. I've barely made my meals any bigger, but am instead using most of the extra for snacks (*cough*biscuits*cough) and wine. Working perfectly for maintenance as all within my cal goal, and my weight is steady, but probably…

6 months into "no-logging" maintenance
Each person develops the style of maintenance that works for them, and I know that some people feel best when they continue to log calories. I just wanted to share my method because it has worked for me for the last 6 1/2 months. I'm 5'8", used MyFitnessPal to go from 161 lbs to 135, which took almost 4 months. When I…
