Just eat the number of calories it has given you. If you haven't started losing weight after a couple weeks, lower your calories a bit (by maybe 250)

Did you set you goal to lose .5 pounds per week? If so, your calories remaining should be around 0 at the end of the day.

I'm going to hazard a guess you are eating low fiber to try and control the symptoms. I did this too while I was very sick for about 11 years until finally being diagnosed Celiac. Keep up the low fiber if it helps. Low fiber doesn't automatically have to be high calorie. But tracking your calories will be VERY important if…

I would just focus on eating reasonable portion sizes, not really tracking, and not worry about it beyond that. It's one week. A drop in the bucket.

It might help with hydration due to the water content. There is no reasonable evidence that eating collagen help with skin health. The collagen gets broken down into it's amino acids during digestion. So, unless you happen to be deficient in certain amino acids found in collagen (which most people are not) then it's…

They've most likely added more cheese. Non-calorie counting people used to complain en mass that frozen pizza never had enough cheese.

Good for you for sticking with it! You can do this.

None of which is really relevant, since we don't really know any of those things about the OP.

My thought exactly 💯

The articles I've read state it's healthy to put on 25-35 pounds during pregnancy, if that helps.

This is most likely the case, agreed.

Let me rephrase it then... if OP is not losing weight, one of two things is true... EITHER they are eating more than they think, or they are not actually burning that many calories in their workouts. Or (very likely) both. I pointed out that they are likely not burning 450 calories specifically because they are not losing…

This was my thought.

If one burned an extra 448 calories for every 75 minutes of walking, I would be able to eat 3000+ calories a day. Wish that were true.

I love this! Great ideas for different sources of fiber.

Try eating high calorie foods. Nut butters, fatty meats, full fat dairy. Cook with oil. The calories will add up fast. Very fast.

A lot of this misinformation comes from people not understanding that a calorie is simply a unit of measurement, not the food itself. Of course calories are used differently in the body depending upon what food they come from. Want me to really break your brain? A banana isn't a banana. Because, depending on how ripe it…

Honestly, I have zero clue what they're trying to say, so could be.

I'm confused. You say you are "skinny"... you don't say your weight, which causes me to assume you are underweight. Though I could be wrong. I'm only right 99.7% of the time. And you're confused as to why the app is telling you you're undereating and need to eat more? Spoilers... it's because you're undereating and need to…

I would stick with the 1400 calories for a few weeks. I would bet you'll start losing. 1800 calories was most likely your maintenence calories. And you're almost certainly not burning 450 calories in the gym.... unless you're there for 2 hours running flat out as hard as you can go on the treadmill... which you shouldn't…

I think it's gained popularity in the keto community for people that want to go on and off keto. That way they still get to eat eat their carbs, but be "part time keto".

Exactly! You've got this. You understand the most important thing, which is that it's over-restriction that causes binging.

As they don't give the nutrition information for the syrup, there's no way to know. My suggestion would be to look up "simple syrup" (which is a mixture of sugar and water) and use that to estimate. The calories in the peaches are completely irrelevant to the calories in the syrup they're stored in, as the syrup is really…

Exactly. Nobody should be beating themselves up. But figuring out your next steps is an *important* part that I think often gets lost. I may sound harsh sometimes, but it's honestly to get people to think critically about what they are doing and how they are doing it, and whether or not it's working for them. Our emotions…

💯 facts

That it will make enough food for that many people. Or, if you're eating by yourself, you would divide it into that many meals.

I think you might mean eat under your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure)

You have to look in the mirror and decide what you're happy with. Your abs already look visible to me. I would hazard a guess you're maybe about 15%, or slightly above. Which is really, no a bad place to be.

💯 true

Right. And I'm saying that it's what we do over time that matters, not in one day. I'm not really saying anything dramatically different from you, just saying it in a different way. In regards to guilt- every emotion we feel serves a purpose. To deny it or say I'm just not going to feel that emotion is counterproductive.…
