As a varsity athlete I used to squat 360 (as a max, most I did regularly was 320 in sets of 3), and deadlift was 240. Now that I don't have the same intensity of workouts, I swuat 115 for ATG, or 155 minimum for high reps, 185 for regular lifts. I do a lot more for hack squats, but that's different. Deadlift I do 135 and…

That one always makes me so sad during pow wow season, when all I want is an Ndn Taco!! I eat it, but I know it's a whole day's calories. Or stew with frybread, when you have 2 pieces! :(

That makes sense. Most of the foods I eat are reasonable (fresh kale, chia seeds, pea protein powder, and a tiny bit of frozen fruit in a smoothie), homemade salads with turkey bacon or eggs, etc, but I will look into weighing things. It is possible, like you said, that is why I'm still gaining all of this weight. It's…

I eat 70+% of my food away from home (two meals a day are at work), so I'm not sure if they will work for me. I'll consider it for my home meals, though! Also, how do you weigh a tablespoon, isn't that a physical measure of volume and not weight? (Serious question!)

Thank you, I definitely have an unhealthy view of myself, especially because I was happy with my body for a few years while extremely active. I will try to be happier, but it is easier said than done. Thanks for your support.

Yes, that's what I thought it may be. I graduated and, while I still am very active (2-3 hours of exercise a day), it is not as much as I was back when I had 3 hours of active training per day. I can't realistically go back to that, so I thought that having this calorie deficit would help, but it has not.

Thanks. I have been dieting for a few months now, since January or so. I never had problems with weight gain before (because of 3+ hours of training a day for years), so I've been taking other people's advice, and I was thinking mathematically that much of a calorie deficit (up to 1,000 daily) would have some result. I…
