I'm doing 50% fat, 25% carbs, 25% protein, and I'm eating at maintenance (about 1700 Cals). When I am not pregnant, I tend to eat more protein than that, but I've been having a hard time eating protein lately because of morning sickness. I was/am at a healthy weight (though 5-10 lbs more than I'd like), and I'm aiming for…

Thanks for the tips! Your numbers are still pretty good. I wouldn't stress about it :) Yikes! Lots of upcoming temptation! Good luck and let us know how you do. That looks delicious! Congrats on the 2 lb loss :)

6/14 Total: 63 Net: 59 Definitely too high (1 small slice of pizza and a teensy bit of serial -- I know). But I'm not stressing about it. My cals were pretty low and somehow my weight is down today so not a big deal. I'm on track to have a really low carb day today so that should help me shed any water retention.

There really isn't any trick that can make you stay on track. You have to choose to do it and when you have a bad day, don't let it derail you. I find doing challenges helpful, and accountability partners in real life and on this site. Start by focusing on food and eating at a mild deficit, like losing 1 lb a week instead…

6/13 Total: 30 Net: 26 I need to work on getting my fiber up, but other then that yesterday went well. Work has been extra crazy the last few days (and based on my schedule, I'll be working late every day this week :() so I am really trying to avoid stress eating. I prepped a bunch of chicken yesterday. My goal is to snack…

Well done! Hopping for a good weigh-in for you.

Weekends are hard. Your numbers for Monday and Tuesday look good so at least you are back on track :)

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to check them out!

6/12 Total: 47 Net: 34 I ate a bunch of nuts (almonds and pistachios ) which were higher carb, but also a reasonable amount of fiber. I need to focus on upping my veggies and meat. I find myself eating too much fruit and nuts, and not enough veggies and meats, do that will be a focus for me the rest of the week.

Congrats! That is a huge accomplishment. I wish I could say the same for myself. I keep struggling over the weekend and there is really no excuse. As usual, I am back on track today and hoping that I can make these changes more sustainable. You made a comment in your previous post about not trying to fit things in that…

I would say, either do what GorillaNJ suggested, or, weigh in every single day but think of your weight as a weekly average of those weights and judge your loss on whether your weekly average is up, down or the same. Everyone, but especially women, are prone to daily fluctuation based on water retention. So you shouldn't…

Congrats! That's great.

6/7 Total: 52 Net: 51 Obviously not my best :( only 1 gram of fiber... so... yeah. I need to stop "fitting" sugary items into my carb alottment.

@dhuyleur and @jajohnso77 welcome to the challenge! @donsa_h anyone can join at any time :) what are your stats?

If you are able to lose weight at 300 + grams of carbs daily than I am very jealous lol. Congrats on the loss!

Take a look at this board https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group it has tons of good info on keto and low carb diets.

@mrsfreeland welcome! @tifano welcome and congratulations on your loss and remission! I hope your health continues to improve :)

@Michelletrk welcome! @Asyd_burnz I wouldn't say it's the same as porridge, but it is similar. It's sort of like tapioca putting if you like that. But I like it more than tapioca.

I would recommend determining what your calorie goal for each day is, and then setting your macros so that 5% is carbohydrates, 25% is protein, and 75% is fat. That should give you a good idea as to how many grams of carbs you should eat each day. However, if all else fails, generally keeping them around 30 is a good rule…

Hello and welcome :) Have you considered chia pudding? You can also set it up in the evening and eat it in the morning. I make it with unsweetened almond milk and eat it with crushed walnuts and a few blueberries. Chia seeds are high in protein, fiber and fat so they can fit really well into a low carb / ketogenic diet.

I played soccer in high school and I refused to be considered for the goalie position, even as a 3rd string. I couldn't handle the pressure! People who play goalie in any position have to have nerves of steel. Good luck to your son!

Sounds delicious. I love curry.

Ugh :/ chin up and keep moving forward! I had a similar day last weekend.

You may have "keto flu" take a look at this sticky: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10358179/low-sodium-and-keto-flu-electrolyte-imbalance-may-be-your-problem#latest

As @palsky said, this challenge is for accountability. Yes, we share support and ideas, but the point is accountability. If you haven't already, consider checking out the low carber board, which has tons of ideas, recipes, and support: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group

Thanks! ;)
