Awesome! Thanks

I'm in the same boat as you. My lowest weight was 105 lbs but now I am up to 110 lbs and maintaining. I would really love to be 105 lbs again but my calories would be too low both to lose and to maintain :/

I usually do not log restaurant food but this is a pretty good idea ! thanks

thats great ! I do the same but my maintenance calories are about 1900-2000 :)

I eat a small pack of Maltesers ! Only 185 calories

Im hoping that I would eventually stop tracking calories as well ! As I am getting quite tired of it.

Hard Rock cafe apple cobbler ! 1350 calories :(

I actually find that when I watch something which interests me on TV , I completely forget about eating. Maybe its because you are bored?

When I am losing weight I eat in a 500 calorie deficit. When maintaining , I eat in a deficit during the week and indulge in drinks and pizza and sweets during the weekend. I am working towards maintaining without logging tho and listening to my body. Even when I am in a deficit , I still eat foods I like though.

This is so true !! I had a week where I was literally only sleeping 5 hours every night and during the day I could not stop eating.

I think its different for everyone. For example , i realize that I am hungry when I cant concentrate on the things I am doing and all I can think of is food . I realize I am full by eating REALLY slowly and I know that I am full when my stomach no longer feels empty . However when I eat at home , I usually measure…

It all comes down to personal preference. For me , I can't last 5 days eating clean , let alone living my whole life eating clean. But I find CICO pretty easy and sustainable. I have been doing CICO for the last 3 years with no problem. However , i understand why some people choose clean eating , and I wish I had the will…

This. I lost all my weight not by logging calories but by eating the exact same things . The only difference was I ate slower and stopped eating when I felt satisfied. And I eat out 4-6 times per week.

Thank you so much ! Yeah , thats why I am a little obsessed about this , because I lost a good amount of muscle especially in my thighs during the last few months and I am trying to figure out what caused it .

Thanks for your help :)

Protein is 30% and fat also 30%. Rest are carbs

I cant eat both because then I'd go over my calories :p

I can soo relate to this! I'd rather eat a slice of cheesecake than a meal !

Thank you so much ! You made it sound so easy and I have much more motivation now that I know that diet is not that important :)

1 thing I want to clarify : I mentioned the chicken wrap and doritos as examples ! Food does not have to be particularly a packet of doritos or a wrap. Basically what I mean : I would rather snack on''junk food'' ( packets ) then eat a good ''healthy meal'' especially during the day.

Sure ! Everyone deserves some doritoes :smiley: !

Thank you :) !

I am currently trying to do a body recomp , thats why I am not sure whether it could work.

Got it ! Thank you so much for your help :)

Haha yeah I know it is ! I just gave you a typical example :) I guess what I mean is that I would rather snack on some packets during the day than have lunch

Yes , thats what I was doing , but I started body recomp now so I have to make healthier and wiser choices and eat more protein.

Sort of , yeah. Like for example : I am happy and satisfied with eating 2 slices of pizza but I go to bed starving if I eat a chicken salad or something else considered 'healthy'.

Hello I just found this thread and its exactly what I needed as I am so confused about recomposition and have some questions. I posted these already , but I figured it would make more sense to post them on this specific thread . 1. Which is more important to look at : Macros or nutrients on MFP when doing recomp ? 2. What…

Awesome ! Thanks :)
