I need stuff high in calories, carbs, fat and protein but low in sugar. Any suggestions. My diary should be open (do I have to complete today's entry for you to see it?) This is what my typical daily meals look like, and yes everything for today is completely accurate.

    What exercise did you do to burn 800+ cals, just out of interest?

    only things high in fat will be calorie dense. 1 gram of carbs= 4 cal, 1 gram of protein= 4 cal, 1 gram of fat= 9 cal. peanut butter is a great source of good calories, as are other nuts. I really like cheese and sour cream. Also, theres nothing wrong with a bit of ice cream ;)

    I wouldn't count on that 900-cal exercise "burn" -- seems really high. But if you really do need more calories I'd go for peanut butter or any kind of nuts.

    I highly doubt you burned that many calories..

    what did you use to measure the burn? MFP database, HRM, body fit, etc?

    I always eat snacks like hard boiled eggs. Sometimes just the whites and sometimes the whole egg. yummy and high in protein.

    I wouldn't say this is a problem unless you're hungry - in which case just grab a snack :) like others have said I think 900cals is a bit overestimated but if it's not then good effort!

    add some avocado to your dinner. I usually eat an orange and avocado salad. Just cut them into pieces and you have a really delicious salad.

    How did you determine your exercise cals? 893 cal burned seems really, really high for what you said you did. If you are correct though, eat 8 tablespoons of peanut butter. It will do the trick for sure.

    And you seriously need to eat more throughout the day to make sure you dont have this issue in the future. Food is good for you, food fuels the body.

    If you eat 1000 calories of sugar free ice cream, I sure hope you don't plan on being more than 5 feet from a bathroom for the next 24-48 hours.

    What about, like, a sandwich? An omelet and toast? Pizza? Looks like you need protein equally as much as any other macro.

    Also, I agree with the others that I wouldn't bank on that 900 calorie burn. Eat back maybe half of your exercise calories unless your experience tells you otherwise (as in, after at least 4-6 weeks of this method you find yourself losing faster or slower than you'd expect, at which point, adjust).

    Finally, why are you watching your sugar? Do you have a medical condition which requires you to do so? If not, then ignore that statistic. If your overall calorie and macro-nutrient (carbs, protein, fats) intake is balanced and in line with your goals, then you don't need to worry about what *type* of carbs you're eating.

    go grab a 6pack of taco bell crunchy

    as stated, be careful of burn overestimation...otherwise youll be back here in a month wondering why you havent lost anything.

    I use Map My Ride....does anyone else use this...do you find the estimates for exercises are inaccurate? I just plug in how long I did if for (I use a timer) and it calculates the calories. It bases the calculations off my height, weight etc.

    Ignore sugar unless you have a medical condition. I track fiber instead. Otherwise a banana and an apple will pull you over and you'll be restricting yourself for nothing. I eat plenty of ice cream. It's my favorite way to get my carbs and fats for the day

    just gonna leave this riiiight here
