That is a very good point, but when I say that I'm not referencing overindulging or overeating. That's why I bring up the point of changing our mindset around the food so we can prevent ourselves from eating past the point of fullness! :)

I absolutely 100% agree. Our relationship with food is most heavily influenced by the people who raise us, same with the relationships with our bodies. Everything about the holidays is complicated for everyone, and I definitely needed to take that into account. While I still stand by my points of changing our “special…

OP has learned her lesson, this whole thread was a very good learning experience for her! She now knows not to post before doing her proper research!

I looked back at my goals and the percentages were definitely off of what was automatic. I probably changed them thinking I was some kind of mini-dietician? But yeah, definitely not a MFP issue, totally on me. I reset them and now my goal is around 160. Judging by everyone’s responses, that might still be too much, but I…

That’s exactly what I was thinking! It’s way too much protein for me, I just trusted MFP’s judgement without doing any research. I’ll figure this out, and come back with a plan made from everyone’s advice. Thanks to everybody who commented!

My current goal is 216 grams, which is what MFP picked for me. It seems like a lot, but that could just be because I've never done high protein before.

Both of you are 100% right, I need to stay focused on what I really want and stop bouncing from one goal to the next. I tend to have trouble with that, so I’m probably going to have to work on it first. As for the intensity of bodybuilding and my ED, I’ve got plenty of support to keep me from relapsing, so no need to…

Right now the priority is bodybuilding. I’m going to incorporate boxing into some of my exercises so I don’t get rusty, but my main focus will be getting in shape in general!

After doing a lot more research, I’ve realized that a lot of my “facts” are WAY off. Most of this post is just my opinion, which isn’t reliable at all. My past experiences have kind of clouded my judgement on the subject of dieting. While I’m still very firm in my belief of set point weight, I now understand that everyone…

I really appreciate everyone’s comments on this, I admit I should have done more research before saying something so bold. Thank you for being kind about it!

Fair enough. I got the number 2300 from a former dietician at my old res facility.
