Come on now... Welcome the change...

@kpk54 Nothing like the south. Born and raised. You live near Durham. Only an hour and 10 minutes from me

@cstehansen "I don't think all of us feel satiety the same way." Thanks you so much. I thought I was crazy there for awhile there. @kpk54 That outlines it perfectly!!! I was being told by some that 1800 was still too low. Okay, well now the provided posts above really have me feeling better.

Well, parent conferences have started. Small break here. Still going strong!!!

Well, ladies... very nicely stated. Millions of thanks.

I do keep forgetting the 4, 4, 9 thing especially when I gauge by calories only or at least try to. I am guessing the part I am not understanding is the part of what fat I eat and what fat comes from my body. I am afraid of overeating. I feel that I won't overeat if I have some guidelines and restrictions. That is why I…

@Sunny_Bunny_ enough to drop that 1.5 pounds I need to by tomorrow?

That makes sense also. Thanks.

So having more protein than fat is okay? If so, that is against a lot of my readings. Wow.

College football being my favorite sport. Visit as many stadiums as I can just to be a spectator. I don't have to even have a favorite team. I used to tell people: Give me the two worst college football teams on the coldest day with the worst seats in the house, and I will still go...

Well, it is 12:10 pm. My lunch time, and all I have had is water today. Still going strong. Wonder if this will help at all with the 1.5 pounds I need to shed by weigh-in tomorrow. Either way, I can't believe that I haven't eaten for the last 16-17 hours.

So in thinking this way, and I am not knocking it by any means. Protein as a goal. Carbs a hard limit. Fat based on hunger. Is it possible to have fat less than protein on some days?

Didn't mean crazy I n a bad way. Info sorting through gets me crazy.

I will do that soon. Retested tonight. 0.9 so it's up.

The crazy thing is people say they eat fat and lay off carbs. Fill the rest in with protein. Don't they have to have a little guidance on how much protein and how much fat? Carbs are set for me. Less than 20 grams. I hate guesstimating.

Goal weight maybe 180 to 195

Approximate bf percent:: 25 - 30

I thought this thread was going in another direction. Wow, I have only water 95% of the time. These flavors sound awesome. Thankful this is a little out of my price range. Better not show my wife this.

Well, some are saying that 0.5 is the starting point. I just figured because of the weight loss at such a rapid pace, I would be closer to optimal ketone zone. Also, I was wondering, if I am a fat person, and I am... Well, I have fat. Do I still need to eat the so called recommended fat grams to still lose fat? I am…

Yes that was me. I just meant the obsessing as far as the work contest goes. Also, it seems like this woe has some factors that other woe's don't or ones I am not familiar with. Just getting used to. A little frustration with stalls or even weight gain. I know fluctuations happen, but weighing 231 in the morning and then…

Cool. I might do that. Surely look that up in a few.

Thanks. To all of you. Ok give me your best advice on this next part. Only 1.5 pounds to go in the contest at work. I weigh in on Friday. I haven't cheated a bit, but I am not on track to losing that 1.5 pounds. I am not far off either. Is there anything I can do Wednesday and Thursday to get that 1.5 pounds down? After…

@kpk54 I am a little mixed up. In your intro you stated that deficit is not extreme, but the 1400 to 1500 calories is extreme. Not sure what this means? Was there a typo in there? Just curious, not bashing.

Great... might have to check into it

Looks okay yeah but that much fiber even scares me. Any input on the fiber intake?

@kpk54 I did that last night. It was okay straight off the knife. A little rich and tangy. I could barely stand it, but it was okay... I guess. Just wanted to dress it up a little.

Is there a way to know if you are losing muscle? I know I do what this belly gone... NOW!!!

Well, thanks for the replies. What if 1600 calories keeps me full? I might snack on keto things here or there and that might end up being a total of 1700 calories. My meals on the regular, mainly are: Breakfast (6:15) 3/4 scoop protein powder 4 tbsp. heavy cream 1 tbsp. Brain Octane 8 oz almond milk Breakfast 2 (7:50) 0.5…

Well, the science part is getting in the way somewhat. Like no matter what calculator I input my data in, it says I should be eating over 1800 calories. I thought a deficit would be the way to go, so I am around 1600 calories a day. That works pretty well for me. At least it has so far. Now, that I am almost 25 pounds…

What if I want it a little on the sweet side?
