Hi... Been on 5.2 for 3 years so I'm no stranger to fasting.. However I've only ever used it to maintain my weight & now I'm looking to lose a final 14-21lbs it doesn't seem to be happening as I've got so used to eating what I like on NFDs & the thought of having to calorie count again every day is depressing!! Does anyone calorie count here on NFDs?? I tried ADF for a couple of weeks after new year but made no difference to the scales ..

I don't count every day. But I do count cals on nfd regularly. If I don't. ..I tend to eat too much. My maintenance cals before exercise are around 1600-1700....but I can eat 2500 easily. ..just keeps me honest and realistic

My sedentary TDEE is around 1800 & like you I can easily eat over 2500 especially if I have a few wines!!.. Suppose if I want to continue with 5.2 I should keep a track of calories... I did find earlier last year I was keeping a tally on my phone of a rough calorie count daily & was losing about 1lb a week most weeks.. I'm not a fan of logging every single item in here as its very time consuming weighing it all out but I do know most things calorie wise just by eye so I will go back to keeping a rough count on my phone..0

Maybe try 3:4?0

I try to eat maintenance calories on NFDs. I also try to log every day, since that keeps me from mindlessly eating.0

I find tracking with the lose it app on my phone is easier than to track here. With lose it you can scan bar codes on products.0

You can scan barcodes here on MFP0
