The scale isn't moving & i need more healthy options to stay on track

kaillasue

Hey Guys,
I have been logging my food and working out for a couple weeks now. The scale isn't moving much. I seem to lose a pound or two but then the next day will be up a pound. I know my weight in general can fluctuate but its been a couple weeks now.

Also, anyone have any good suggestions for healthy meals. I try eating a lot of eggs, chicken and veggies. Which i do enjoy but i'm starting to get sick and need some other options.

A couple weeks is too soon to worry or change things.. stick with it longer and see what happens for a few more weeks

What do you like? Eat that. If you have any particular criteria for what makes a meal healthy, you have to tell us.

and you don't need to live on chicken, veggies & eggs, add some variety, then you won't be bored. There is no such thing as a healthy meal, it's your diet (noun not verb) as a whole which you need to consider - eat things you like that help overall to meet your nutritional requirements.

The flow chart above can answer all the questions about why you may not be losing after its been more than 3 weeks. I would consider where your monthly cycle is in this time frame as well.

Incorporate some of the foods you enjoy eating into your meal planning. Recommend consuming an appropriate amount of protein to help minimize muscle loss while in a calorie deficit, and if you can meet your protein needs, fill in the rest with from enjoyable food sources you already like. It does not have to bland or boring to lose weight.

This frustration is why I don't weigh every day. I weigh every Tuesday morning and when I am at my doctor's office.
