cool, thanks all. I guess I should have worded it differently.. I was really just trying to see which way made nutrition expenditure more efficient.. like if I ate afterwards would the carbs and stuff be more likely to be converted to sugars and stored as fat. or if I ate afterwards maybe it is used quicker to replenish…

the comments here are becoming counter productive, i think, since there are so many...having to restate a bunch of things and getting mixed up between the comments and commenters lol. Thank a bunch you all. I've gathered enough to figure out what I can try. it's kind of tiring hearing everyone tell me I don't have to cut…

lol i don't eat peanut butter.... is this just a weight loss saying? hah youre the second one to say it

it's the sarah lee 45 calories a slice, it's good in fiber and protein, low carb and calorie

I don't really have the means to see a doctor.. I don't doubt I could be off, but not by much. I already undereat what I am suppose to just in case something is overestimated. and my diet is very limited, not much variety.I was hoping someone would mention maybe if a certain metabolism speed would make hunger a…

thanks, yeah, i thought maybe that experience could be altering my perspective, an dI know a lot of things have been repeated in these comments, a lot of people didn't bother to read the original post lo. But it's my second post as a member here so now I know what to expect next time I ask a question i guess lol..

okay i think i get it. i log about 100-170 calories a day for exercise. Mostly from walking. i still average 1250-1350 calories a day though, because I do not eat back all of my calories. so if i log 170, it allows me 1470, but I still only eat 1250-1350. I do this because I am very sedentary, I highly doubt I need those…

mm, I follow the set amount pretty well, 160 carbs, 70 protein, and 45 fat. my carbs of choice carry a lot of fiber, and I rely on them to keep me satiated.

I'm sorry, someone else wanted the net I got mixed up. And this point I do not understand because why would I think i am eating anything other than what I have logged if i do not have a food scale as you say to go by? mfp diary is all the reference i have....so how could you expect me to answer that? I'm not trying to be…

Okay, seems this is the point everyone keeps coming back to. I'll get a food scale, but truth be told, I don't think I'd be so hungry all the time if i were significantly overestimating my caloric intake. I'm not saying it's spot on, but there was a time in my life that I became moderately anorexic for an extended period…

no, that's why I'm concerned, no changes in the way clothes fit or how I look, I mean a tiny bit maybe but not significant at all.[/quote] Tiny bit is quite a lot for such a short time. You will get there. Don't be so hard on yourself Hun[/quote] 7 weeks is a short time?

no, that's why I'm concerned, no changes in the way clothes fit or how I look, I mean a tiny bit maybe but not significant at all.

okay i average 1250 net calories, sometimes more sometimes less, never over 1350.

lol, idk why we're not understanding each other because you literally just restated what i said( or I thought I said?) haha anyways, yes, I only eat back a portion of my exercised calories..because i know the estimates are usually off

5'6 medium frame, 150 lbs.sedentary. I work out about 4 hours a week. idk my body fat percentage because i don't have the measuring tape so idk. I looked up a tdee calculator and it says i need 1900 a day( so that's bullcocky) idk, i have referenced so many calculators and formulas they always say something different

In mfp any calories you exercise off, you eat back. I usually don't even reach 1300 even after easting back those calories. I usually have a deficit of 75-150 calories a day.

My reason is because I am starving. Oatmeal with banana in the morning, a sandwich for lunch, an apple for snack...and a small portion of dinner... it's just not enough. I have really low energy and being that hungry cause serious emotion shifts in me. I need more food. if i have to cut bread to replace a lower calorie…

wow thank you I had no idea...

I mean I do consume 1300 a day and my caloric needs arent much anyways because of my lifestyle... but 1200 a day is pure misery for me, I wouldnt be able to stay awake and it might cause serious emotion shifts ( ei i will burst into random tears if I am too hungry) I can't go below what I am currently doing. i am at the…

No food scale... I portion with measuring cups or use products that are already portioned. I might cut out the bread anyways though and replace with veg because I'm starving lol. I think I have a high metabolism because I am always hungry within an hour or two of eating. My worst enemy is bedtime, it's a fight to get to…

Thank you 4theking... I used to be pretty active so I know my measly exercise routine wasn't much, but I guess I assumed it was enough of a change, but I know I can do more. Thanks for directing my perspective in that direction.

I can cut out the bread. I only eat ham sandwiches, oatmeal with banana, apples for snacks, sometimes I'll eat eggs with sliced potatoes and a bit of broccoli if the dinner isn't going to fit into my daily budget. I'll add more vegetables I guess. And idk nikkit321, I don't feel a significant difference in the way my…

Thanks, I'll try the average weight thing and stop eating back calories. The fact is I've been dieting for 7 weeks, sure, I didn't know my weight at first, but I should visibly see or feel the difference in my clothes if I were actually losing, so I'm past worried. I know something is wrong. This is very frustrating, I'm…
