@sarahtrust , To answer your prior questions--yes, I'm in the United States & like @nvmomketo mentioned, the RMR is a Resting Metabolic Rate test. I had that done at my local dietitians office (a 10 minute test breathing into a tube that I believe is measuring oxygen & carbon dioxide and calculates a metabolic rate…

@sarahtrust , My meal insulin dose is a "moving target". It depends on what my pre-meal blood sugar is and the amount of net carbs I'm about to consume & most importantly "what did I inject a day or two ago when I had the same meal if my pre-meal blood sugar was similar". Also, certain foods (gram for gram) raise my blood…

Lantus lasts closer to 24 hours though it varies a little bit around that number with each individual.

@sarahtrust , Too much injected insulin could halt weight loss and drive blood sugars down--are your blood sugars getting low 2 hours after meals? About a year ago, I was injecting about the amounts of insulin you are (both basal & meal time) but I lost weight each month while injecting that amount of insulin since I knew…

Since my blood sugars have been good & my meal-time insulin dosages were sometimes at zero, I started increasing my carbs (42% carbs, 36% fat, 22% protein) to give me more variety of foods to choose from as long as my blood sugars remain good & my meal-time insulin dosages don't increase to more than 2 units consistently…

I use a browser script on my desktop/laptop computer that adds a "net carbs" column to my diary. It also adds the %net carbs, %fat & %protein for each meal and for the daily total at the end of the day. https://github.com/Surye/mfp-keto-userscript

@san949 , I'm using the browser script that @nvmomketo mentioned above. I like how it shows my net carbs at each meal as well as my totals for the day & it places two "pie charts" at the bottom of your diary showing how the macros (net carbs, protein & fat) were portioned out. ...if this attachment works, I've attached a…

Breakfast is typically my largest meal of the day with dinner being the smallest, probably because I'm "winding up" after breakfast & becoming active whereas after dinner I'm "winding down" for the day & don't really need or want to eat as much.

Yes--the DXA scan gives you a good & accurate "baseline" compared to other methods & follow up with them once/year (kind of expensive to do more often than that) but use other methods to track your progress along the way. I plan to get my DXA scan in about 3 months so I can have a better idea of what my goal weight (for…
