    Thread clearly turning into a train wreck. So I'll try to explain this a little different than I did before.

    How 'bout this?

    I request a puppy with a pancake hat. Preferably a dachshund.

    TL:DR
    Am I the only one that's considering the timing of said weight loss from McDonald's? Did you eat your McD's meal and step on the scale the next morning, attributing your weight loss to a meal you had the day before? :neutral:

    I weighed self in the morning after the mcdonalds the day before to see the damage done only to find I had lost weight.
    That's not how this works. I don't even know where to start.
    I need an MFP veteran to chime in here....

    Nobody wants to talk about this? No one?

    OP, I think you need to take a step back and re-evaluate your weight loss goals because resorting to 900 cal/day is definitely not healthy, and you will not be able to sustain that long term. You shouldnt be starving yourself to lose weight. Losing weight can be uncomfortable but it shouldnt be dreadful and tedious. The time frame it takes to lose weight healthily is something you just have to deal with and be patient with. Hope this helps.

    I'm overeating anyway apparently because the gem lettuce whole for 15 calories is 500 calories apparently and goodness knows what the 3 cherry tomatoes I eat daily amount to in calories a day

    Let's be honest. If you were really eating 50 calorie salads all day errrrday, then you would be losing weight.

    Mhmm I guess lettuce really is 500 calories ^_^

    Just means I need less calories so maybe a 900 calorie diet will be better for me

    I don't think this is going to be your answer.

    This is pretty simple - OP is getting confused about timing. Ate McDonald's, then weighed the NEXT DAY and saw a loss. Attributed said loss to the McDonald's eaten the night before.

    OP think of it as a weekly tally, not daily. As long as you're within your calories for the WEEK, don't worry about it. It will balance out.

    Thanks

    ok.....

    i eat out all the time and lose weight. your point?

    well, i dont eat mcdonalds cause gross but whatever. LOL

    Fruit and salad made me gain weight. McDonald's made me loose weight. My point being this doesn't make sense

    i dont think you understand how this works LOL

    OVEREATING fruit and salad made you gain weight.
    eating below your maintenance (whether its mcdonalds or broccoli) results in weight loss

    I'm not overeating fruit and salad.... unless the salad I'm buying is being pumped with calories... unless 2 satsumas and 10 grapes is overeating fruit...

    Okay, so what are you saying? That your body somehow reserve burns calories?

    Can you summarize what your actual argument is?

    I was just confused why I lost weight eating junk food after weeks of eating salad and fruit. But I must be overeating so I'm going to go on a 900 calorie diet instead so it doesn't matter now

    Since you have stated you don't weigh your food, reducing your calorie goal is premature.

    TROLL

    Wtf is even happening right now?

    This isn't a dachshund, but surprisingly, there aren't a lot of choices of pictures of pancakes on dogs' heads.

    That dog gets a lot of food put on its head.

    Maybe you should just eat 1300 calories and have a hamburger every day then. :)
