Plateaus Disrupted metabolism and useless Drs.

If the weight in grams comes to the exact amounts I do not change it, as long as I weigh the serving I dont care what it says because I know that I have weighed everything.

I do not ever use tablespoons or cups. I weigh my eggs and if they are 50grams, I leave it be.

The only time I change the entries is if I cannot get the exact portion amounts in grams. So if a slice of bread is 24 grams and its serving is for 25 grams I will divide the 24grams by 25 to get 0.96 a serving.

@ummijaaz560 thanks for opening your diary. Please change something like Sodium or Sugar to Fiber. I'd like to see how close to your fiber target you've been.

If you go to her diary and click on printable report you can see 16 grams of fiber. Maybe onll possible to view on a laptop. Dunno.

ETA: July 24,25,26 fiber was 37,31 and 35 respectively.

I'm wondering if you could manage to lower your sodium levels. I wonder if you use processed foods these are high in the stuff. Too high levels for you can contribute to constipation it makes things really slugish. Its a horrid position to be in, hope you find your answer soon.

I dont always so much have processed foods.
Things have been tight recently and its what I have until I can start cooking homemade again. I agree with you about the sodium its ridiculous.

If you look at my recipes in my diary I have lots that I have made using the recipe builder.
For those saying I dont weigh my food using a scale, I promise you I do. Im the girl who took her food scale to a all you can eat buffet for science

Put some new batteries in your scale. I'm not saying this is definitely the answer, but to be the exact same weight every time you weigh yourself sounds very off. Try this before you change anything else.

Aha! Thanks!

@ummijaaz560 I see the main source of fiber for you these days is Miralax. Up until July 3 you were eating lima beans regularly and they were giving you 30 g of fiber per 1/2 cup. Did your constipation start after you stopped eating the lima beans?

Take your measurements on a regular basis. I do once a week. There are significant periods of time where my weight doesn't change or even slightly increases while my measurements stay the same or decrease. This tells me I'm still on track. What the scale says is less important and rewarding than how your body looks and how your clothes fit. BTW, I measure the thigh right below the gluteal fold rather than the neck; apparently this is more telling in women whereas the neck is better for men. Or so my trainer tells me...

It started with fasting Ramadan since I couldnt eat or drink during the day. I would like to have the lima beans often but for the calories per serving I would still be hungry? I believe I started fasting June 5 or 6th.

Sure, after this meal you'd still be hungry as there weren't many calories or protein:



But what about after this type of meal?

I remember being satisfied after eating that meal, I'd used the ground turkey and made a turkey patty from it!
