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.…

Yup, that's what I said.

The 200 extra calories you gave yourself by changing activity levels might help within that. Eat throughout the day. Try not to wait until you're starving.

You would be fine at around 100. 160 would be if you wanted to eat higher protein for satiety reasons, but definitely not necessary.

Because of the plastic. Plastic= bad for the environment.

The same thing has happened to me when I go on vacation. It's a good reminder that it's what we do over time that matters, not on one single day, or even one single week. But over months and years.

.8 x 200= 160. So, 160 grams of protein.

Maybe try around .8 grams of protein per pound of your current body weight. Having said that... I feel like you should really consider whether your end goal is reasonable. For a 61 year old woman at 5'4 weighing 115 pounds is... a bit low. But ultimately, that's up to you and what you want.

200 calories matters alot if you're going 200 over regularly. But once, no. But let's be honest, almost nobody who talks about going 200 calories over their goal is only doing it once. It very much sounds like this is a *regular* occurrence for the OP. In which case, they do need to figure it out. And just saying "oh well,…

I'm slightly confused... have you hit a plateau? Trying to continue losing weight and not losing? But then you say you're forcing yourself to eat? I'm not sure how you're tracking your calories? Are you estimating how much food you eat or do you measure it? The one thing I can promise you is that if you are genuinely only…

How long have you been vegetarian? Why are you choosing to be vegetarian? If it's ethics..... great! I'm proud of you. Ethics is really the main reason to go vegetarian.

Looked at the previous nutrition info. The size (weight in grams) of the tortillas is the same, so no, not shrinkflation. They new package shows 1 more gram worth of fiber in the carb nutrition part. It went fromm 11 to 12 grams of fiber. So, they subtracted calories for the fiber.
