What else should I eat?

Sometimes, when you've hit a wall, you can get things moving again by eating MORE. I can't see your diary, but that's something you may want to consider. Please feel free to look at my diary for food ideas. I like to keep my meals colorful and full of fresh fruit and veggies. I do not fear carbs or sweets; I just work them in to my allotment for the day. I eat all my exercise calories, all the time, and I am more likely to go over calories than under.

I am "essentially" at goal, but just a bit up right now due to a torn MCL 4 weeks ago that slammed the breaks on my exercise.

Here's what I ate for breakfast:

123 calorie breakfast: 1 egg, fried in 1tsp. light butter with asparagus, salsa, strawberries and raspberries.

Prep and cook time: 5 minutes.





Eggs - Large A - Eggland's Best, 1 egg cals: 70

Raspberries - Raw, 10 raspberries, cals: 10

Strawberries - Raw, 2 large (1-3/8" dia), cals: 12

Butter - Light Butter With Canola Oil, 0.33 Tbsp, cals: 17

Onions - Raw, 0.33 tbsp chopped, cals: 1

Raw Fresh - Asparagus Spears Tll, 3 Spears, cals: 10

Herdez - Casera Mild Salsa, 0.66 TBSP, cals: 3

I eat everything. No restrictions. Want cake? Eat it if it fits into your calories. Even if it doesn't. Just don't go crazy.
I eat all kinds of meat, i just make sure it's a lean cut. I eat fish amd shrimp too. Beans and lentils are great. I eat lots of fruits and veg. I eat whole eggs, yogurt, berries, i make smoothies. I eat what i like. This is a change of lifestyle, Not a diet. If you have to many rules, or restrict yourself from any certain food, can you stick to those rules for a lifetime?
If you are starving, try upping your protein and fiber, those things help me feel full. I eat oatmeal, or a granola bar with at least 4g of fiber in it. there are many other sources but those are my quick fixes.
And what do you mean ONLY 2 pounds in 2 weeks? That is perfectly healthy and acceptable weight loss. Don't beat yourself up. You certainly didn't gain 2 pounds in 2 weeks, so why stress over it?
I don't have any answers, i can just tell you what works for me.

I just have so much to lose, so 2 pounds is very discouraging. But you're right, I lost weight and that's the positive aspect. thank you for the info and I will keep at :-)

I have a lot to lose too, but id be pumped about that loss, you didn't gain and that's what's important!

Make sure you are measuring yourself too! If I feel like I'm stuck and not losing weight, I'll get out that tape measure and compare it to what I wrote down the week before and almost always, something is smaller! Don't get discouraged, just find more ways to make healthy but tasty foods that you like. You can do it!

it is normal to hit a wall and to feel 'blah' my nutritionist gave me a ton of recipes that are different but still good for you- it certainly has helped. if you would like some send me a message and I will be happy to share. Eating the same foods over and over and over will make you feel blah. Hang in there, you will get past this wall I promise!
