Exactly.
I make home made soup - 4.5kg of the stuff, then freeze it in bags of 400g portions.
I make turkey breast spaghetti bolognese with wholewheat pasta- 4.5kg of the stuff, then eat in portions of 400g.
Every ingredient for each was weighed and put into the recipe builder. I know exactly how many calories i take in with each 400g portion.
If you honestly want to lose weight, you first have to be honest with yourself1 -
English is my native language and I make mistakes all the time, no worries at all. I was actually responding to Alyssa_Is-LosingIt's response, it gave me a chuckle
Kudos to those who speak multiple languages, I offer only the highest level of respect to you for that!
This is so kind of you!! thank you.
love

Weigh your food. Suck it up and do it. Eat to the calorie amount MFP tells you, not some random number under. Commit to doing this for at least six weeks. Then assess. If you have not lost weight, cut 100 calories from that total and repeat.amyrebeccah wrote: »Look, all of this is educated guessing. Without accurate calorie counting, it's not even educated.

Thank you guys ... though weighing is hard as it is homemade not canned things
You don't HAVE to weigh food to lose weight. All you need is to eat less than you burn. But if you are having trouble not eating too much without weighing and logging it might be a good idea to do it for a while at least. Once you get a better idea of portions and calories you may be able to stop.
like I should burn more than I eat? like I have to eat 1500 a day I have to burn 2000 a day? omg?1 -

No, the reason you are not losing weight is because you are eating too much overall. You can still have your milk and cake and still lose weight. I would say kaak too, but I have no idea what that is.
Be sure to measure your milk because it's a liquid and weigh your slice of cake in grams. Log everything you eat.

The results are always in the evidence. The result is that you are not losing weight, therefore the evidence shows that you are eating too much to lose weight. If you were not eating too much, you would be losing weight.1 -

My pleasure. 1 -
I'm guessing the cake and cookies are what's sabotaging your efforts. I typically drink 4-5 cups of 2% milk a week and have had no trouble losing consistently. It's vital to meaure accurately and carry a calorie deficit. If you're finding you're hungry, increase your vegetables and fruit intake (you can also increase carbs, but this is tricky and requires a lot more attention to detail). I'm curious as to what is so difficult with weighing the food? It takes me less than a minute to weigh my meals.2

You can substitute with almond milk. 3X less calories, cut fat content in half, and 50% more calcium1

Once you have 11 400g portions, what do you do with the remaining 100g portion? 3 -
The milk itself isn't the reason why you aren't losing weight. Are you working the milk in to your calorie allowance by correctly measuring the amount? You can totally continue doing what you are doing if you make it fit in to your day! The question is, do you want to sacrifice this calorie amount on milk? I personally find it's a lot more fulfilling to eat the calories than drink them! Alternatively, would you consider switching to Semi Skimmed milk? 1

Cake and cookies for breakfast would definitely sabotage my weight loss as I need protein and fiber to feel full.2 -

Write down all your ingredients (weights of solids, measurements of liquids) to enter.
Weigh your pot/pan you are going to be cooking with, write it down,
After you have cooked your dish, weight your pot/pan with the cooked food in it.
Subtract the weight of the pot/pan from the weight of the pot/pan with the cooked food in it (for example, your pot weighs 800g, and your food AND pot weigh 2000g. Your food weighs 1200g)
Enter the difference of the 2 as your # of servings (per our above example, it would be 1200 servings, which means 1 gram is 1 serving)
When you go to eat your food, weigh it in grams just like you would anything else, and log it
Hope this makes sense!
You can also put in a set # of servings (for example if you are prepping food for the whole week, and you know what you are making is for 5 meals) and set your servings that way!2 -
