    I have a video appt with a nutritionist tomorrow. Hopefully we will go over my numbers and I can get a lab consult for a blood panel.

    My thought was only that you’ve been maintaining. So you’re eating the right number of calories to maintain your weight - even though the numbers suggest that you should be dropping a pound or two a week. That’s good (that you’re maintaining).

    But the various pieces of the puzzle don’t currently add up. Which isn’t so much an issue because whatever you’re doing is still leading you to eat at maintenance.

    If you change the pieces of your equation (how much you’re burning, for example), then your calorie needs will also change (or you will gain/lose). So that was my only point-that somewhere; something in that equation Is off-whether it’s BMR, your calories in, your exercise calories or some combination of all or them. Again-it’s not all that important since whatever you’re doing is giving you the right number to maintain. But it might be as your activity changes.

    You do not want to be at a deficit during this recovery process.

    It is weird that I am craving protein and whole grains. I am not tracking right now just eating well. I am finding that I feel nauseous so I eat something and it goes away. For the time being, I am not going to worry about things like having a banana with peanut butter if I am hungry. MFP says to maintain I need 1960 so that is what I will go with. Thanks again for all your time and info.
