That seems like some solid math..so I'll try to fit in like 30ish more protein somewhere...maybe some eggs or something?
-
@livingleanlivingclean That's some good advice, maybe like a glass of milk with my dinner? And I like the smoothie idea, thanks. @Chezzie84 Listening, that's for sure...whether or not I'll act, I haven't decided. Seems there are so many contradictory sources of info out there!
-
Umm, why tho? Just for other people's ease of mind on MFP knowing I'm actually weighing things?
-
@rabbitjb I mean a quick google search yielded this "Adults in the U.S. are encouraged to get 10% to 35% of their day's calories from protein foods. That's about 46 grams of protein for women, and 56 grams of protein for men." And I'm like doubling that?? I just don't get it
-
@20yearsyounger I like your positivity about the protein thing...sure if I'm going to go eat a greasy amazing bacon cheese burger, I might make 150+ protein for the day, but otherwise I just dont enjoy meat enough to eat that much of it. I am at work in my picture, but sadly I work overnights, and can't let the phone ring…

@sijomial In what ways should I get more calories and protien, if I'm not really feeling hungry enough to eat more? (legit question)
-
@rabbitjb Oh I see what you're saying. In most of those cups and tbsp's and such, I'm scanning the bar code, which just copies what's on the back, the nutritional info it came with. I don't think I have any other way of actually determining how many calories and macros are in 37g of peanut butter.
-
@sijomial No no man, that's why I posted this. I want to have a discussion, this is good. As I said...I'm 3 weeks in, very new to this lol.
-
@sijomial I mean, I've never been a big eater. I always drank a lot of soda, and ate *kitten*, high high calorie food, so that's why I was in a surplus and gained a lot of weight over about 8 years. But eating healthy, high volume/satiety food, I just don't get hungry enough to eat anywhere near the amount MFP recommends.…

Wow! Super impressed...you should open up your food diary so we can see what helped you so much! Amazing job, either way :]
-
Keep working on it, you'll do just fine...keep at it :]

"metaba-*kitten* super HD 9million" hahahaha

Thanks much! What exercise do you like to do?
-
Hey thanks for the support.
-
I really like Obese 2 Beast...cuz i relate a lot.
-
This is possibly the most pervy thread I've seen on MFP lol...also, who doesn't love kung fu panda amiright?!
-
I dont know what I grinned at more...the point you made, or your thumbnail :]
-
Jesus, the things I would do to that pizza...making this intermittent fasting thing PRETTY TOUGH! lol <3
-
Wow that is super cool! Is that part of MFP or something else? I'd really like to check it!
-
I'm still trying to figure out how I went from 318 to 319.6.. I know that the day prior I'd had WAY too much to drink and also too much to eat (about 3000) calories...That's the only "bad" day I've had in the two weeks I've been tracking, and only like 500 extra calories (of my 2500 TDE) shouldn't have caused me to gain…

thanks for the advice!

Ok so I have a question. If I search "baked chicken" I can find a ked chicken, does the serving size pertain to baked chicken before it's baked (raw) or does it pertain to actually baker chicken???
-
Thanks!!
-
LOL! 10/10 it was 4 12oz bottles...but thanks for the support...just...ughhhh
-
Well I do exercise, 4-5 times a week on a recumbent exercise bike, for about half an hour. Says I burn about 300-400 calories maintaining about 140 heart rate averaged. I like your idea of not sweating it, I can't help but feel like if my body was starving, and I was getting under nourished, I'd probably feel some bad side…
-
Yeah I've been losing wieght, about 20ish lbs in the last 3 weeks...gotta keep going tho!
-
Eat more calorically dense items! I would suggest peanut butter, but you already do that (and that is a very awesome choice IMHO). There are tons of ways to sneak in extra calories if you need them (like cooking with olive oil). You don't need to eat solely "healthy" items to lose weight. You just need to eat enough to…

"For now" so ominous! lol :P
