The package says 180 calories, servings per container 4, and there is indeed 4 flat breads in there ( well 3 now, I…

Looking at maintenance soon, seeking advice.
I'm closing in on my goal weight, and I think I'll be happy with achieving that weight and don't really plan to lose anymore afterwards. While I'm no stranger to losing, I am brand new to maintaining. This is the first time I've taken the weight off without any gimmicks, or really restrictive diets, and the idea of…

ate calories by 3pm
Days I'm off work I seem to eat my daily calorie limit by 3 pm. I hate it! my weakness is coffee creamer and random snacking on food such as pretzels. I've been trying to keep busy on my days off of work but my body seems to know it's my "lazy" day and wants to eat more. I had 1350 calories and I don't want to eat anymore…

What kind of recovery time am I looking at?
About 3-4 weeks ago, I was told I had diabetes for the first time. I contacted a dietician who said I should eat 60 carbs at Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner and 20 carbs for 3 snacks. I followed that for 3-4 weeks and didn't make note of calorie intake. Then I became very weak and had no energy, feeling like I could die at times.…

TDEE v. Calories Burned
I am not a careful counter of calories, to begin with, and I don't wear a HRM--I rely on the estimates from MFP, and I'm okay with that. When I started using MFP, I was merely trying to balance input and output for calories. While losing 5-10 pounds was fine by me, I find that I am continuing to lose weight at a rate of…

Advice on maintaining?
This is long, and sort of shameful. So, about August of last year, I decided to lose weight. I didn't do much research, and what little I did was largely ignored. I averaged about 800 calories a day. I would plateau, go lower, repeat ad infinitum. About June of this year, I upped to average 1000-1300 and added more…

Maintenance Weight
Background: I lost some weight two or three years ago, and gradually gained some of it back--not all of it, but enough for it to be not a good thing, and enough for my doctor to notice during my annual physical.
