    I really wish the OP weighed the food and returned. There is no shame in saying "Boy, was I over-estimating!". It would actually be incredibly helpful for many others.

    Same. I'm interested to know what happened.

    Just another example of measuring vs. weighing: my cup of grapes (62 cal) actually weighed 180g (121 cal). That's almost twice as many calories!

    I'm gonna call troll here. You asked for advice, advice was given. You haven't tried it.
    Here let me help. You're a special snowflake and will gain on 1k cals the rest of your life. You're doomed. Better invest in yoga pants.

    It's very disappointing that the OP didn't respond. However, I took the advice in this thread and I broke my plateau finally, after two months. I realized I was definitely overestimating my calorie intake.

    So, although this thread was generated by someone who doesn't seem to like solid advice, it benefitted someone else and I'm sure it benefitted more newbies on MFP.

    THIS is so awesome!

    Yay! I'm so glad you broke your plateau! And thanks for letting us know the advice was helpful. Sometimes it feels like we're just typing into the void here :flowerforyou:

    You're not. :wink:

    Some of us just take your advice without feeling the need to argue every last point of it. We should remember to thank all of you more often though :smiley:

    i would die if i ate less? im always so hungry

    You say your always hungry. Do you add protein into your diet at all? I saw carbs, vegetables and fruit from what you said. I know you said your arent eating meat but there are other ways of getting protein. That may help with you feeling fuller longer. Yes fruits are good for you but i saw your banana smoothie has 2 to 3 bananas they have a lot of sugar in them so maybe cutting it back to using 1 banana in your smoothie might help.

    i dont use a food scale, i dont over eat, i eat a normal amount

    I thought I was eating a normal amount. Normal was what I saw people around me eating. I got morbidly obese that way. There is no universal "normal."

    ETA: I didn't realize how long this discussion had gotten and I acknowledge that I'm late to the game.

    You're very welcome. Based off of what I have seen on the boards, it seems like some advice goes through one ear and out the other. There's so much great advice here that I feel like I've found the gold mine to success.

    She hasn't been back to MFP since the day after the OP. It probably didn't go the way she had expected and left.

    This thread just screams honeylisabee 2.0. I wonder what ever happened to her.
