Ludka13, just bought some Boca burgers! A friend of mine used to swear by those. Thanks!!

lemurcat12, yes MFP gave me the calories number but with a 1/2 lb loss per week goal. (I'm doing baby steps. Next month, 1 lb per week. Altho, I'm losing a lot more than my goal - 12 lbs in first 26 days.) You asked abt my diet before. It was HORRIBLE! Junk food 2 or 3 times a day every day. I think that's why I'm losing…

Rabbitjb, I just cannot force down 1650 calories of healthy food.

Kammodeveran, I don't know why my fat allotments is 56g. (I actually thought that was pretty generous.) It's what the system calculated for me when I entered my info like weekly weight loss goal (1/2 lb per wk for Jan., will be 1lb per wk for Feb.) and my life style (sedentary - both my job and my…

That sounds like good advice segacs. And it should be easy bcs I almost never eat all my calories.

Aah, thanks. I think I did read something abt that. Sounded very technical and complicated. Maybe later when I'm not such a newbie. I need everything to be simple for at least the first couple of months.

my allotment for fat is 56g. (I don't know what a macro is.) About protein and belly fat. A lot of the "flat belly diets" out there claim that protein helps lose belly fat in particular. Of course, you would have to do it within your calorie allotment. Don't have but one Greek yogurt in the fridge right now so I can't…
