Ack! Better work that off!

MamaRiss

So I made some "pizza bread" today, which is one of my favorites. Then I created the recipe using the handy dandy little tool on here.

CRAP! Even with the 3 miles of walking I did this morning I was over my fat allotment for the day. I'm so ready to not be fat; so as much as I hate it, another 30 minutes of areobics and 10 for calisthenics this afternoon

So note to self. no more pizza bread!

Physiology fail.
Until you understand that you cannot outperform your nutrition, you'll not succeed.
IMO you should pop out 100 pushups, body squats and knee tucks, within any time prior to bed to deplete glycogen in the muscle for that tasty treat to fill later.

Thanks for the tip! I'm still new to this so I'm happy to see better tips than " Just work it off"

Huh?

OP would you open your diary?...perhaps you are being too hard on yourself. No reason you cant enjoy some pizza bread.

Notice you say over your fats for the day,
So you still under your calorie goals with that delicious pizza?

MamaRiss

Ok , I think I have it opened up now, but I havn't actually eaten dinner yet, just have it planned out

Yes, I would still be under my calorie goal, just over my fat without the extra exercise

you are completely fine having fat go over a bit. You dont have to have perfect macros...i would, however, consider changing your protein goal to be a little higher.

do NOT stress over those few grams of fat. seriously.

This. Fat doesn't make you fat. Excess calories do.

Did you just grab a box of words and dump them on the screen?

This... I don't think there has been a day where i don't go over my fat macros.

MamaRiss

Thanks. How do I go about changing my macros? I just have it basically on default for a 1 lb per week loss

Your calories are too low. Don't worry so much about going over on fat, MFP has their fat goal set low. But you should be aiming to hit your calorie goal, not come in significantly under it.

I also wonder about your logging though-- butter toast, 2 oz for 28 calories? That doesn't seem right. Unless I'm not understanding what it is. Toast (just the bread) runs me 70 calories per slice, so 140 for two pieces.

Thanks for making feel a bit better everyone. I'm trying to not be too hard on myself in the beginning of this journey. It helps to see that people who have gone a lot farther also go over sometimes

Go into goals and hit manual. Then adjust.

GOALS> CHANGE GOALS > custom... then change the percentages.

I do 40% carb/ 30% fat/ 30% protein

you can do whatever you like.

I started out using the basic one serving is two slices, which they had set at 8 oz. When I weighed mine, it only came in at 2 oz for BOTH pieces, then I go in and add in extra butter, usually about 20 grams total ( I do see that I logged that one wrong today)

I am really low on my calories today, I just did not feel like eating a lot this morning, so I pretty much was forcing the eggs down, and ended up feeding some to my son. I've got 4 hours until I actually have dinner, so I'll try to figure out something by then to get me closer to my goal
