Maintaining on very low calories
I want to start a maintenance diet. I've just started using MFP. I'm barely eating 1000 calories a day and not losing weight. I lost my twenty plus pounds eyeballing my food. I'm certain that I was eating many more calories than I'm doing now. Am I on a weight loss plateau? Should I keep at this low level or try to eat a…

1 week into maintenance & I’m starving
I didn’t have any appetite when I was losing weight, 8 days into maintenance & I’m hungry all the time - is this likely to even out? For the week I’ve averaged 2038 cals per day and put on 0.2lbs - I assume that’s water weight. I’ve tried loading my plate with veg and getting enough fat etc but it’s not helping and I don’t…

Choosing the maintaining weight
How do you go about it? Before, I have thought that body fat percentage is the king and that as a man you should aim for ten percentage After reaching ten percentage with some muscle mass I have decided to go for the BMI - if under 18.5 is anorexic I will then maintain 19 to be as lean as possible while being healthy; in…

Weight gain when exercising
I put on about 9lbs when I started exercising more last year and haven't been able to to shift it. For the first time in a year I've finally shifted 5lbs by calorie counting but I also haven't been exercising so much over the last couple of weeks so I'm not sure if it's muscle loss. My favorite sport is cycling and I want…

Is there a lot of salt/sodium in Indian food?
Just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this. I eat Indian food every so often, and truly love it. I have a salad and Bengain Bharta with whole wheat roti, and some of my husband's Vegetable Jalfrezi. I eat very little of the rice. (Forgive me if I am spelling some of this wrong.) I ask (as I do at most restaurants)…

Ideas for stay at home mom?
I’ve had 3 kids over 6yrs, and was determined to get to pre-pregnancy weight after the third. I managed to do that a year ago after a lot of cutting back and exercise— but now I’m up 5lbs a year later. In the past I haven’t had trouble maintaining after losing the pregnancy weight, so this feels defeating. I’m older now…

Very stupid question.

I am still trying to figure out how sated feels. I know it is subjective, but would love to know what other people's experiences are. I believe that I have more in…

Tips to maintain without daily tracking for the rest of my life, please?
I've gotten to goal multiple times over the years, and I tracked for almost a year straight. I stopped tracking and after a while slowly gained weight back. I got up to 10 lbs over goal this time so I came back to MFP and I've lost 2 lbs so far this time. Losing is pretty easy for me, as long as my mindset is right. I'm…

Lower body fat percentage without losing/gaining weight?
I hope this is the right place for this query. Most of my life, I've been a high BMI/low BFP person. At 5'10" I felt most comfortable in the 175-180 range and when I've dipped below 170, I looked emaciated (and often accused of having an active ED). Well, a few years ago, I got really sick (cancer, etc.) and gained a lot…

When is it safe to buy new "skinny" clothes?
I'm only a few pounds away from my goal weight. I want to show off my weight-loss by wearing new fitted clothes. But I'm worried that those few pounds left might be another pant size on me since I'm petite. I know I should wait and see what size I am then, but what if I reach my goal but lose even more fat in the following…

Recompers question
Hello! I've been in maintenance about a year and spent most of it working so, so hard to eat enough protein and lift heavy and recomp.

I wonder if any of you have experience a profound increase in energy as you hit a certain lower weight. I lost about 40 pounds since January and was in the middle of my BMI. I have touted how much better I feel..and increased energy.. and aches and pains gone. It is true. However, I've been doing an end of the summer tune…

Is this maintenance?
I mean, I think it probably is? I do weigh daily and use trending apps to see the overall trend, but still tend to look too much at the daily / weekly up and down fluctuations of 100/200g here and there and wonder if that means it's "really up" or "really down". In other words, "have I stopped losing", "does today's low…
