    So I changed it to a pound a week loss and 1800 is my calories, I tweaked the macros to 162g protein, 116 carbs and 80 or 90 days ( I'm going off memory here) I made carbs lower at the 30 percent bc it was recommended by my gyno to eat less carbs bc of slight insulin resistance I have. I'll work with this and see where I can get focusing mostly on my calories in and out

    It may seem counter intuitive to what you have been doing and thinking was correct, but try eating fewer meals and/or holding off as late as you can before eating breakfast. I found that I was far less hungry throughout the day when I stopped eating breakfast.

    This is true for me as well. It's 1:52 p.m. here and I'm just now starting to think about eating for the first time. I typically only eat 2 meals a day. One small one in the afternoon and a large one in the evening/night. But I don't workout in the morning so not sure if that schedule would work if I did.

    I have tried fasting and not eating until later in the day that lasts for a few days and then I end up being weaker at work outs my schedule is really messing with me it looks like this....
    Week 1...work out 3 am, work 7a to 3p
    Week 2...work out 3am, work 7a to 3p
    Week 3...work out 8 am, work 3p to 11p
    Week 5....work out 8 am, work 3p to 11p

    Repeat month after month. I've been doing this for 2 years now and I still have trouble adjusting each time I switch to when to eat, when to work out ect bc I've tried several combos. I have the work out schedule down mostly it's just the eating times
