I’m dealing with that now...ugg. A weekend at my sisters meat heavy household and I feel like I’ve ballooned. Back at it this week though!

.

I totally agree, I have no issues with sustaining 1250. People just have a tendency to make sweeping generalizations I suppose. We’re all different and have different body types and different goals. No need to demonize someone for having a goal that you may not agree with.

Even though you’re not interested, i urge you to try it! You eat it with raw garlic and some sour cream. Amazing!! Not overly beety at all! The cold version is purely vegetarian, and more “beety”. Just cucumbers, green onion, dill and beets and kefir, perfect for summer!

That’s a lot of pressure. But I’m game.

Authentic borscht involves real broth made from chicken or beef. The meat and bones stay in the soup. That’s why it tastes so good.

Some of these responses are kinda harsh and snarky. Just trying to get input. I’m all for sarcasm, but jeez people.

It seems like Little, but I’ve struggled got three years. Perhaps I was overly ambitious. Thanks for the advice.

You’ve never had Borcht! Not only is it meat based but you also add sour cream :) high protein as far as soups go plus the beets and garlic are a super immune booster.

This is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!

So I get my protein after all.Win win.

Thanks everyone for the great ideas and advice. My issue with protein powder comes from extensive research into products that have chemical additives and have been recalled for being dangerous or even having rat droppings! I’ve ordered some pure organic hemp powder with about 19 grams per serving, so we will see how it…

I unfortunately have to agree. My stats were calculated and printed by a body scan. The only advice given by this “nutritionist” was to download this app and work out and stuff. When I addressed my slower metabolism and propensity to retain water, she was confused and went back to her shtick. I’m happy I got this app, but…

All of the above. Too much? :smile:

Thanks so much for the insight! I actually took a breathing test at a nutritionist that showed that I have slightly lower than average metabolism. So my TDEE is right under 1800, before exercise. She recommended 1390 for losing 1 pound a week, I went down to 1250 to try to get two, knowing that I’m new to logging and it…

We can debate! Is protein all it’s cracked up to be? And is it better to have lower protein intake versus using supplements and powders?

So awesome to hear that! I stated a few weeks ago at 149.7 and now down to 144.6! My goal is about the same as yours, 131! Great to know that there’s a light :)

I feel best when I’ve had a certain time for fasting. If I’m hungry, I eat. For example I had a hearty breakfast this morning at 8am (I used to hate breakfast) I’m 5”3 and 144 (down from 149 since 2.5 weeks ago). My ideal is 131, calories are 1250.

I do feel hungry at night, and I think if I had more protein that would not necessarily be the case. (I try to not eat after 7) But I feel good, work out and motivated by the weight loss.

I need 78 grams to keep to the 25% target of a 1250 calorie plan.

I’d love to hear more about your veggie protein sources. I eat tons of yogurt, eggs, lentils, etc. For example, I just made Borcht, so I add Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream) for an added boost of protein.

I’m over in fat. I eat full fat Whole Foods, most have protein, but my “nuts” obsession outweighs in fat. I have no issue with carbs and am usually at 40%. I also have a huge issue with sugar - I eat A LOT of fruit. Makes me feel bad when it warns me that I’m over in sugar, but I don’t eat processed sugar so it’s weird.…

Thank you all so much!!! The cutting down of wine has been the hardest! Who knew a bottle is almost 700 calories!!!???

Thanks so much, I’m flexible when I work out I eat those calories! Are you saying when you go out you just don’t log, or do you estimate?

Hi I’m 5”3 and at 145, 15 pounds heavier than 6 years ago! (No kids!) my goal is 131, but I’ll take 135 :smiley: always could use a cheer buddy!
