Thank you! Mexican is my favorite "food group" lol. I am all about the salsa. I am going to try to pass on the chips though, and get a fancy margarita instead!
'Food group', lol! Enjoy - you've earned it Sammy.0 -

Yum! Enjoy your meal tonight! I miss good Mexican food so much! When I lived in Houston, there were amazing restaurants and mom-and-pops on every corner. Here? 1 or 2 and not even that good. When I head to CA this summer, I will be on a tamal, chicken mole, and enchilada diet to refill my reserves!1

Enjoy your Mexican meal, I love tacos

Microscope March
March 24th
Daily Weight - 173.5
Intake: <1,500 calories
2 beef enchiladas with queso
Refried beans
Mexican rice
Chips and salsa
I ate all of my enchiladas, and most of my beans and rice. I took it lite on the chips. I didn't have a drink like I wanted but that is okay. This is the smallest gain after a Mexican meal, so I am pretty impressed!

That is awesome, Sammy! That gain was pretty much nothing, and you got to eat a yummy meal!0

(As I would never deviate from that) We are quickly coming up to my 1 year OMAD anniversary (July). As Microscope March has been a wonder for me, I want to take a further look on the Calorie intake side of things. You know Experiment!
So Starting April first I will be incorporating a 4:3 approach within my OMAD.
Now this is only going to be based on Calorific intake the first month, so I am going to push the bar.
So I have done a basic "How many calories should I eat in a day to lose weight fast?" question in the google search. For my current height, weight, and age I should be only eating 1,076 calories a day to lose two pounds a day. Interesting.
Now that I have that number I can times it by days in the week (7 duh), giving me 7,532 calories intake for the whole week. Interesting.
So having 3 days a week fasting, which will 500 calories or less at my OMAD, will remove 1,500 calories from my weekly total. Giving be 6,032 calories for the remaining 4 days of the week. So roughly 1,508 calories per OMAD.
Fasting days will be: Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday
Eating days will be: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.
What I really want to see out of this experiment is whether my body reacts to the Calorie in/Calorie out Method. Or, If my fluctuations are purely food based.
Should be interesting. I plan on incorporate the Idea of Microscope March in as well on the daily updating, but we will see.
You MUST lose as much as a calorie deficit. That will never change. The energy you expended has to come from somewhere. You can possible lose more than that though do to other factors. You can ONLY gain as much as a calorie surplus. That will never change.
You might gain less though due to not using it all. Good luck!0 -

I am definitely looking forward to seeing the data from a personal stand point.0 -

Well I didn't get away from the pizza all together this weekend. My kids said "but we didn't get our pizza night!" They are cute but they drive me nutty sometime!

That is so cute! We never had a regular pizza night in our house, but I can guarantee that I would have said the same thing if we did and I noticed we hadn't had our weekly pizza!0

You are continuing to do great! looking forward to seeing how your plan works out in April!0

I had a big plate of taco salad with all the fixin's. Even though I made it myself, I know there is a lot of sodium in the taco seasoning. But it was so delicious, and crunched up tostitos, jalapenos, and onion made all the difference. I basically pigged out last night, but I was nice and full, and I enjoyed it.

So I went into the gastro doctor yesterday, and my colonoscopy is scheduled for Friday. So pertaining to my directions I can have a lite breakfast on Thursday, and then I must be clear liquids until the surgery. I feel like I am so used to fasting that this will be a breeze!
(I know that I am too young to get colonoscopies, but I have had half of my colon removed because of a Carcinoid tumor at 21. So I have to stay on top of it.)

Good luck with your colonoscopy! I am thinking of having one soon as well just because of how irregular I have been for pretty much my whole life, and colon cancer runs in my family.0

Sammy I guess you are right the good thing will be you being used to fasting!!! Good luck with that, hope it goes well for you.0

Praying for good results
