One of my meds is causing insane food cravings. I'm a bit of a nerd, and it's because the chemical structure of the medicine bonds to lipids in my body...so I have to be on a low-carb-low-fat diet. Combined with the no alcohol or caffeine... I'm pretty miserable. Glad there's a thread I found. Sorry you guys are in the…

Yes I do use a food scale, measuring cups, etc. I only eat food I have weighed and prepared myself. Bye Felicia.

Thank you! I am usually way too busy to eat. I'm a chronic meal skipper. I DID ingest the majority of my calories in the form of lattes (jerks). I'm hoping I can get to 50% in protein. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to hurt me in terms of energy level.

I am not mistaken about my intake. I know how much I eat a day. Most of the time I am way too busy to eat. It is a struggle to get up to 1200. I don't do it most days. Either you believe it or you don't. If anyone wants to give me insight towards my actual question, that would be appreciated. Thank you.

I'm just going to stop posting anything on here. No one believes me when I say I didn't eat like a friggin pig and still gained weight. Any question always devolves into people inferring that I must have been lying or at best mistaken about my calorie intake. Sorry if it messes with your view of reality that people have…

I was EATING 500-600 calories. I was DRINKING 300+. That's an intake of close to 900, on steroids, of mostly sugar and fat. Fat and sugar (if you are on steroids) fuel weight gain. I don't understand why that's hard for anyone to accept. Just because I don't ingest 2000+calories a day doesn't mean I can't gain weight.

When I started logging my calories here, I had already decided to quit drinking lattes. That was all I had changed, and I was logging 500-600 calories at most a day. Starbucks lattes, as you probably know, have 300ish calories depending on the kind you get. So yeah.

Lowering my calories hasn't really been an option. I have a tendency to skip meals, and under eat. Getting to 1200 is a challenge. Why did I get overweight? Steroids and lattes. I might only eat 500 calories a day, but I seriously love lattes and sugary caffeinated beverages. Without them, I've had to work my way up to…

5'1, goal of weight loss in 2lbs a week, goal weight 125, activity level high. Just what fitness pal said I should do.

Sometimes I do cook something so delicious I want more, but I also really try to only cook enough for one meal, tops. So whenever I want more, I'd have to cook more. If I'm still hungry, I go for some spinach and vinegar (yum!) or carrot sticks.

Overweight. I have heard comments on my figure my whole life. I'm a petite female (5'1) and am well-endowed. I hear people tell me I'm too big, and other people tell me I shouldn't try to lose any weight at all. I'm about twenty pounds north of my goal weight, and it's very hard for me because people say either that I…

My mom used to buy me instant-drink breakfasts because I wouldn't eat as a teenager. It's been that way for me for a long time. I wouldn't eat lunch at school often either. I'm not a picky eater, I just skip meals a lot and I'm not sure why. Problem is (I think?!) Anytime I eat anything with fat in it, it sticks because I…

I'm on steroids. So yes I have a medical condition.

Maybe smoothies will work. I've been really good about keeping my macros in order and eating the right things, but it just is hard for me to eat so much.

Calorie deficits confuse me TBH. I logged my normal diet for a week before I made any changes and was only getting 600- 700 calories when my recommended levels were 1400. You'd think I would have been losing weight then. I'm eating a ton more and logging 1100 calories and am losing weight. It doesn't make sense, but…
