Yes alot of housework no walk as very windy. Yes and yes.
I have a xmas party to attend tomorrow, was postponed in dec due to covid. Any tips u guys can give on how to stay within my budget limit? I dnt know wat food they will be serving so i can't pretrack like i normally wld do. How do u guys manage this? I know skipping meals in the morning and at lunch is not the trick as ive done this in the past and i just get too starving and over eat.
I always bring something to share that I know I can eat a lot of and be within my budget then stick to eating mostly that with a bite of a couple of other things so it looks like I’m partaking. I usually avoid too many comments about it that way. BUT - let’s be honest if I have any alcohol whatsoever my willpower goes straight out the window and I just eat everything so I’m probably not the best person to offer advice on this 😂6 -

@SModa61 thanks for the recipe for getting more protein I love cottage cheese and yogurt. Have to pick up chia seeds and a high fiber cereal. I definitely need a more substantial breakfast than I'm having now.
@Bovaryoo I might try the cottage cheese and scrambled eggs and see how it goes. Right now I use Good Culture CC, 14g protein. Honestly, I'm not a big eater so making 1,300 calories a day is an effort but tracking helps me see how undernourished I really have been.
@donna25trinity keeping track of macros is easy I just checked the box and it shows up on top of my diary. Otherwise, I wouldn't pay attention to it either lol As far as the Xmas party goes I agree with @SummerSkier I would always have a light meal before any social event because you never know what your walking in to when it comes to food and drink. Besides, I like my food better than catered anyway.
Thanks ladies for all your help6 -

Plans for setting calorie goalFor February, I will be joining the others in the group that are here for accountability while maintaining. I am adding 200 calories/day to my January target calories, for a total of 1680. For comparison, MFP stated that my maintenance calories should be 1610. We’ll see how this goes and adjust daily calorie goal if I begin to consistently gain.
Also, I will consider calories a “yes” if either my food is under 1680, or my net is under 1400. Both of those numbers are 200 calories above my January numbers.Date: 2/1

***So though my “exercise” is on the lighter side, before I headed outside at 8:40 PM in 27 degrees, my apple watch said I had already done 602/510 move calories, 49/30 exercise min, 14/12 stand hours, 9,792 steps, 4.4 miles and 138 flights.
Today was also my “second” run. Shorter than my first, but I needed to make sure my second run was a success so there would ever be a third. I did throw in a hill AND the one time I passed my friendly speed detector I sped up and got it to flash a “9”. :P

I'm joining a "Reach the Beach" challenge at my university--my team has pledged to "walk" from San Antonio to South Padre Island over the course of a month! This is an annual event, but I've never participated before. Knowing my teammates are counting on me will be good motivation to get those steps in.
@donna25trinity One thing that helps me in party situations is to keep a low cal drink in my hand so eating requires more intention--put down the drink, make a plate, etc. If it's a sit-down dinner, then portion control is your best defense.Good luck!4 -

Yes, I'm caught up on health posts and life updates! I came across cute six-year-olds, foggy snow-filled forests, a Protein Panel, and everything in between: all interesting!
I spent yesterday recalculating my body recomposition stats so today was the first time putting it all in action.
To spare you the multicolored spreadsheet, I added another 100 calories/day in an effort to help increase my rate of lean muscle mass gain. But I have to be sure to achieve my net calorie target in MFP more often (I'm generally under). More weight-bearing during my resistance training is also going to be required. Done safely and paying attention to form, of course. Let's see how the rest of the month fares. 🤷🏾♀️
@donna25trinity Belated Merry Christmas to your coworkers lol I'd snap a pic of what you eat and then log to the best of your ability once home. Also, that's an automatic pass day for me regardless of how little I eat unless I know the chef's process (ie. they don't go crazy with oils 'n added fats, little to no creamy sauces, etc)
The @SummerSkier method works especially if you know in advance that you won't like the food anyway. Just eat a filling, healthy meal BEFORE the event. Then when you get to the social, you load your plate lightly with non-starchy veggies and otherwise just shift food around while being thoroughly engaged in table banter. If it's table service with multiple courses, just poke at the - you guessed it - non-starchy veggies or fruit in each course.

Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes. This is a major victory for me as we eat with my sister and brother-in-law every Friday and serve huge meals with bread and desserts. I tend to eat when I sit at the table too long but did not do it tonight.
