Quest bars - my favorite are the chocolate brownie and the white chocolate raspberry. They taste pretty good, but they are way better if you put them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. When I do that, they taste like a awesome little treat.

I would also suggest that if you do decide to try TDEE...with that big of a calorie difference between what you are doing now vs. TDEE calories, I would SLOWLY work my way up. Maybe add 100 calories a week or something and see what happens. Sometimes jumping too high too quick can cause your body to struggle to readjust to…

We only eat out usually one day a week, and we cook a lot because we want leftovers for lunches and nights we don't feel like preparing something. We use our crockpot at least once a week as well. I try to cook a new recipe at least once a week. We have our favorite go-to meals that are pretty simply to track. If my…

Mine does the same thing. I've learned to ignore it :)

From what I've read here and on the EM2WL forums/articles, I think it's a good idea to have a regular "break" for a few weeks every few months and focus more on intuitive eating. If you've been tracking for over a year, then you will likely have a ballpark idea of what you need to eat to fuel your body. If you keep in mind…

I would agree with the others. It is likely you are underestimating your activity level. I work from home at a desk job, so I thought my TDEE level would be extremely low, even with working out 4-5 days a week. I thought it might be something like 2200 or 2400. It turns out I am burning at least 2800 calories a day (though…

My diary should be open as well. I was at 2400 a day all last week and this week I'm bumping it up to 2800 to figure out my true TDEE. Feel free to take a look...I do have one protein shake that I like to use most days, but other than that, it's just basic food :)

Awesome. Thanks so much! I read a little more on "testing" your TDEE by upping calories and I think I'm going to focus on that first. I can use the Shine's average as a starting point.

Thanks! How do you get that tested? I do want to lose weight, but I am so tired of the cycle of cutting calories, losing weight, trying to work out, and feeling exhausted and irritable and not able to increase my workout performances. I'm almost to the point I'd rather figure out what I need to eat to have energy and feel…

I'm trying to decide whether I should do a metabolic reset or cut -15% TDEE. I started logging food and cutting calories around the first of the year. According to the Scooby calculator, my BMR is about 1800. On average, I've been eating at or above my BMR for the past 2 months. When I first started, I just switched to…
