almonds / nuts Almonds are high fat but they are not processed and healthy in small quantities

Two weeks is a small amount of time. This is your learning curve. It will take time to learn how to avoid these times, and honestly, most of us have the same lapses. Just don’t let it deter you tomorrow, that’s what matters most

The three ways you actually loose the weight is pee, sweat, and breath - this comes from a college health class I took many years ago. So it makes sense if your losing weight that you may be peeing more (plus the increase in water while working)

I’ve been reading up on body recomposition which I think is what you are talking about - gaining muscle, losing fat. I’ve read two different ways and I’m only days into this, so I have no real knowledge or advice. It’s just something for you to look into.

It was a recomposition calculator. I didn’t keep the website as I’ve been on quite a few. To phrase the question differently, I want to gain muscle, so do I eat at maintenance, which includes my workouts, or do I add the workout calories back in. I have my calories set to light activity so that includes some exercise per…

I cut down on my dinner knowing I am going to want a snack later.

I’m at 1200 calories a day and it can be tough. After a while you will be able to do these calculations in your head which helps for preplanning. When I exercise, I increase my calories because it generally means an additional snack that day. I find that there will be one or two days during the week where I will be over…

You’re right this argument goes both ways and many people here will tell you MFP calculates so you eat your calories back. Personally I listen to my body. There are times when I work out a lot and eat it all back and times when I just eat a small snack with protein. I don’t want to force myself to eat because of the MFP…

It cut my reply.... if you could be specific about what you like to eat, I could probably tell you a few itemss

We went dairy free two years ago due to my daughter’s allergy. Truthfully it is hard to like/enjoy dairy free foods in the beginning. Now, we’ve adjusted and it all tastes “normal”. So only doing this for a few weeks, I doubt you’d adjust to the taste of cheese, ice cream, milk etc. I’d stick with the normal everyday items…

I haven’t read l the comments so don’t know if it’s been suggested but frozen fruit with yogurt /granola. (Buy the big tubs of yogurt instead of individual) I saw you freeze chicken on sale. Eggs for protein in your salad.

I don’t focus too much on the numbers (weight, inches, etc) but I focus on if I am feeling stronger / able to last longer easily in my workouts. Once I feel I am doing good, the eating part becomes easier.

On days I exercise a lot, I let my body decide. I don’t eat back calories just because I think I should if I am not feeling hungry.

I don’t know a lot about WW but I think their system just calorie counts for you. Start using this app in tandem with WW and see how many calories you consume / should have A lot of people here, myself included, “save up” calories to use over the weekend.

I’m not sure if you know your numbers or not. Find out what your daily calories intake should be. Preplan the days meals/snacks do you can make sure your are going to stay in the calorie amounts, and create a deficit for the weekend. I make sure to stick to eating fruit and small meals on workdays because I know I will…

Steamed dumplings and steamed chicken/shrimp with vegetables. They have a lighter type of noodles also but I forget the name

You’re probably stronger and can do more at the gym from when you first started. Try and use this for motivation rather than just the #.

I think it’s different for everyone. My husband prefers not to eat beforehand and waits to eat (yes, it is OK to not eat beforehand) I cannot do that. If I do not eat beforehand I get very light headed and need to quit early. Listen to what your body prefers and go with it.

Starbucks Sumatra - I think it tastes better when made at home rather than at a Starbucks

I’ve done this two ways because I am (was) a huge pasta eater. The first time I would make only a single serving so I would not over eat it and add a lot of broccoli to it. Also, I recently discovered zucchini noodles and found with the right pasta sauce it is just as satisfying as eating the pasta, so I feel like I’m over…

If you like wraps, lavish wraps are 120 calories and very filling as a sandwich - however they are higher sodium

Too much sodium and it takes a few days to go away

I recently started to make an effort to cut back on processed food and sugar.(Yes, eat a lot of fruit, and I know that it has sugar). It was hard, but after a week or two, it got a lot easier. I cannot help you with the coffee, as I take my black with one Splenda. But I do know that after a week or two it will start to…

I don’t weigh my meals but I do calorie count. I also weigh myself everyday - this helps me to see the daily fluctuations of my body everyday. Regarding your 2lb increase - it could be that you weighed yourself on a “lower” weight day two weeks ago and a “higher” weight day this time. Think of water, sodium etc. it could…

I’m at 1,200 a day and it is hard. Try planning ahead for a few days and see how that does. Calculate in advanced the calories you expect to eat that day and see where/when you are going over. Without looking at your diary, there’s not many suggestions on food replacements

Yes, swipe left and a delete button should appear

Tangerines, bananas, berries all filling -won’t keep you full for 5 hours- but if you stagger your eating it’ll work

I am a huge pasta person and will always be. Yes, if it fits your daily calorie then it’s not problem. Ignore other people’s ignorance. She sounds like a person that has her own insecurities and since your weight loss is noticeable, she needed to “comment”

I also find myself more focused on snacking at my computer during the day.

Hi... I’m not quitting it but I am starting to cut the sugary snacks out. I started eating fruit as snacks and it’s working. Today I ate a candy it was too sweet after not eating candy for a while. So it gets easier. I was eating a lot of cereal bars before. After Easter I will be more committed. I sent you a request
