    I think I eat properly too - in fact my nutritionist thought so too and is stumped, so she has me eating 2 more snacks consisting of a carb/protein each snack about 150 cals each... So I've been doing that and it's kinda confused my body and caused me to gain 4 pounds....:explode: but I'm gonna give it a go and hopefully things will change.:ohwell:

    have you ever tried eating your exercise cals? i know it's not for everybody, but it is worth a shot if you haven't tried
    I eat mine - or most of them....

    you didn't...but do you think that of my diary, or is it someone else's diary? i always like the feedback, i just thought i was doing good, so it took me for a curveball, if you go back more than a couple weeks you will see that i am making progress. i've been on t his for a couple months now, and at the start, there was no way i could stay at or under my cals. and i always eat my exercise cals too, i like food too much to not reward myself after a hard workout!

    Hi loathesome. I am actually pinatunney's workout partner so I hope you don't mind me jumping in here.
    I was taking a look at your food diary and there are a few things I would suggest.

    #1 Watch the sodium. Some people aren't quite as sensitive to it as others. I am one of those sensitive people who bloats if I even get to the 2000mg area, but it can't be helped sometimes. Do you find you are bloated often?

    #2 The quantity as well as quality matter when you are putting food into your body.
    Anybody can eat junk all day long and stay within thier calories. You do have some good choices in your menu but then I also see things like august 1st where your post workout snack/meal was 2 beers and sweet potatoe fries.

    #3 I also see that you put notes on the bottom of your days when something is off... I do the same, especially if I am feeling ill that day or went out drinking with friends. That way if I notice a fluctuation in my weight I can go back to it and see why. On one of those days you mentioned that you were good all day then went crazy at dinner and throughout the evening which bothered you. That particular day and others I noticed your breakfast and lunch are often very small. If you aren't fueling your body enough during the day it will crave more food at night so to help avoid this you would want to up your intake during the day. 100 calories for breakfast when your body hasn't gotten any food in several hours is not enough to fuel it properly.

    #4 You have some days where you are undereating for the day altogether. August 4th as an example.. your breakfast, morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack equaled 213 calories together and dinner at 522 which is well under the minimum you should have. If you were feeling ill or something then I absolutely understand cause that happens to all of us but short of that, those kind of days will do more damage than good.

    My food diary is open to the public if you want to peek for some ideas.

    The only other thing I noticed was you aren't exercising quite as regularly as you were before. Maybe go back through the last couple months of your exercise days to see the difference.
