Who all eats.......

I eat most of them, and I try to load up on the protein and keep it lowfat.

I'm doing some weight training now, and I'd like to build a little muscle while I shape up. That's tough enough to do when you're in a calorie deficit, and impossible without enough protein. :bigsmile:

wow 59 pounds, that is great!!!! I can't wait until I get to 59 pounds lost. thanks for your response

I eat most of mine. My research is telling me I'm eating way below my metabolic rate, so I'm increasing my calories, not reducing them. Still trying to find the ideal amount...

Hey Momof2 I usually eat mine, when I exercise. Sometimes I have to exercise to cover what I ate! When I am doing this well, I get 1500 calories alloted, plus exercise. I need to leave @200 calories on the table because of my thyroid not working right. So I generally eat my 1500 and about 1/2 of my exercise calories and that gives me the best, most consistent weight loss. I usually burn 400 - 500 calories, but if I increase that I will eat all my calories, except for that fatal 200

I never count my strength training calories, because I don't know how many it is. I do strength training 3 days a week for 1hr each day. I do 45 minutes cardio on the eliptical 6 days a week.

On the days that you overlap and do strength and cardio -what do you do for cardio--do you do one right after the other or space them out?

I do the 45 minutes on the eliptical. I space them out. I do my strength training before work and cardio after work.

p.s. walnuts, avocados, and a lovely (carefully measured) glass of red wine are great ways to use up those extra calories if you're struggling.
