    Guys....help. I've only been able to eat 600 calories per day. I'm stuffed.


    But I need to add that it's 6 Oreos and a glass of milk. I figure I get my protons, carbs and healthy fats. Will I be able to lose weight?

    Of course! You're obviously eating a vegetarian diet, so weight loss is guaranteed. Duh.
    The above is a joke and referencing another thread where the poster maintained that not eating meat led to a healthier diet overall.

    How can you get a proper amount of protons without meat?!

    This is my question as well. And what about the quarks? Why does everyone overlook the need to balance the appropriate quark ratio?

    I'm in this same calorie range as well. I have an everything bagel and regular cream cheese for breakfast, home made soup for lunch and a decent dinner. (Last night was meatloaf, mashed tatos, and corn.. all home made) I just started using this app and was surprised my intake is that low. I have maintained the same weight 125-130 for years at 5'5". I hate exercising and do not follow any workout plan, but I do cook 95% of my meals from home. The highest I have hit is 1100 on one day and I'm averaging 750 by the weekly #s. LOL, I've also had 3 kids. I don't have any fears of losing/gaining weight, I just heard about this app and wanted to track what I'm eating for the fun of it.

    You gotta be careful about which quarks you eat too. Charm quarks will surely make you fat. They are the key ingredient in Lucky Charms. You also want to avoid too many Bottom quarks as they make your bottom big. Up quarks make your weight go up instantly.

    If you stick to Down quarks, and Top quarks you should be OK. Strange quarks are, well, strange, and make you both lose weight and gain it at the exact same time. Be careful with those, as nobody really knows their true effect.

    Then you're either eating more than you think, or there's an underlying medical condition. My 6 year old doesn't maintain on 600-800 calories.
