I’ll check that out. Thanks for sharing. I used to love mint chocolate chip when I was making shakes. Never tried cinnamon roll. That sounds like it could be good.

I would definitely agree with everyone about weighing your food with a scale. You would be surprised how much calories can vary. Also make sure you’re tracking any oils you cook your food in. Those can be quite high in calories. Try using cooking sprays when you can. I know it doesn’t always do the food justice. You don’t…

I don’t think it sucks for me. This is an open discussion. I’m not trying to give advice, I’m simply stating my opinion about something. I would just rather take health advice from people who know my ENTIRE situation and see me multiple times a week and understand my goals. Maybe they’re wrong but I would rather listen to…

That’s actually great advice. I never thought of looking at it that way. I don’t think I’ve ever looked at my weekly average. I know there are definitely days when I go under because I’m just not that hungry or I don’t eat as much earlier in the day. The days when I eat most of my calories early on are usually the days…

Yes you are probably right but as another person just said, I personally needed a mental break. Let me reiterate that... I as in me personally, really needed a break last night from tracking everything because if I’m being honest, I’ve been a little obbsessed and I realize that now. I think a lot of people are taking this…

I was also told by another trainer to stick to my TDEE for at least one month before adjusting it. They told me that my TDEE already takes my activity level into account when it’s calculated so I shouldn’t input my exercise for the day into MFP.

I’m currently getting 2000 calories a day but I’m also trying to build muscle so I know I need to eat more. My trainer has recommended that I get more like 2200-2300 Cals a day but he also has told me not to add 200-300 calories too quickly since my body has to adjust. But you’re right, I have been reluctant to add extra…

Thank you everyone. I really appreciate the support. Today will be a rest day for me and I am adjusting my TDEE to allow at least 100 more calories since I’m obviously burning through them. I’m going to see how I feel in a week and then make more adjustments if I need to. Like I said, it’s really hard to find that sweet…

I am aware that I need to eat more calories. This post was meant to encourage others who may be struggling with similar things. It wasn’t so much to ask others what I’m doing wrong. I have a trainer and a nutritionist who I’m working with. I do appreciate the feedback though. It just feels a little harsh

I just want to say that 90% of the food I consume is whole organic food so when I said proper nutrients, I should have said proper amount of calories. The actual nutrients that I’m consuming is fine.

I see what you’re saying and don’t get me wrong, I do go over my calories sometime . Not by much but it does happen. My whole point is that sometimes it feels good not know. I’ve literally tracked everything since early July. Even when I do go over, I still usually track it but I think it’s perfectly fine to have one meal…

I totally agree. My trainer said the same thing. I’m probably going to increase another 100-200 calories and see how I feel. I’ve been trying not to increase by too much, too fast.

I mean obviously your allowed to. I do sometimes but most of the time I stay within 5grams of my macros and don’t exceed more than 20-30 calories. I’ve been adjusting my TDEE as my goals have been changing so I’m still trying to find that sweet spot. The problem is, you’ll never find it if you can’t be consistent.
