in Getting Started
Hi,

I am back here since about two months.
I am 168cm tall and currently weigh 80 Kg (originally 82Kg)
I try to work out five times a week but I guess I manage to do it 3 or 4 times.
I set my calorie intake goal to 1650 cals
I have a fitbit flex and it adjusts my calories.
But I do not eat my exercise calories back because when I looked for the convenient calorie goal for me I chose Lightly active (3-4 workouts) and decreased it a little to keep room for underestimates.

As you can see, I have been tracking continuously for two months and making some efforts to change how I am.
I want to lose weight slowly this time because I yoyoed since more than 10 years and I usually lose weight quickly by doing drastic changes and then put it back on because I eventually get tired of restrictions and let go.

This time I am eating everything I want but try to choose healthier, plan ahead and stay within my goal because I do not want to cut off some food and feel deprived to get bored and stop all my efforts.
I know that if lower my carbs I will lose faster but I am also aware that if I do, I will eventually lose control and binge

I do not know if the numbers I chose are good for me and if my weight loss is considered good according to my efforts.

Can someone take a look at my diary and stats and give me your opinions???


Thanks

    yes...you are doing it right.

    1650 sets you really nice for your long term goal. im assuming in the 140ish ?

    For your Macros

    Carbs 160 to 172.8 - dont go to low but try not to go over 190ish
    Protein 112 - try to meet your goal here
    Fats 56 - try not to go over on this
    Fiber 28 - 35

    you can eat 1500-1600 5x/week
    you can eat as much as 2000 on weekends when eating out with family and friends or celebrations

    you can do it , no more yoyoing !
