You should look into reverse dieting so that one day you are able to eat more without gaining weight. The resistance training you are doing is the most important thing for having a healthy metabolism.

I always look at everything I log to see if it "looks" accurate but I don't calculate each one. Kind of annoying to weigh everything to the gram only to be a few hundred calories off but I guess that's probably what's going on here. Thank you

It says I went over 105g of carbs but I had 76 grams of fiber. So really I should only have been over by 29 grams for 116 calories, but still have 144 calories of fat left, so I should still be under not over??? So confused.

Oh yes I see now. Thank you!

Amy's organic lentil soup has a good macro count for how easy it is. Maybe add a serving of almonds to up the protein.

I cheat...I roast vegetables every couple days in a big batch. I have a can of Amy's organic lentil soup and a tuna packet every day. And I portion out baby carrots and almonds into bags for the work week. But I don't eat meat, so when I eat salmon I cook it that day.

3 servings egg whites whipped with one egg, strawberries, an apple, and a serving of Adams peanut butter

Newman's version has less nasty ingredients and tastes less chemically for anyone interested ;) but I do agree Oreos are holy grail

I'm all about easy so I do mine the same way. Asparagus, Brussels sprouts, kale all thrown in the oven with olive oil spray and garlic salt at 400 for 12 mins

Try IIFYM.com where you input your stats and it tells you your total daily energy expenditure, and what you need to eat to lose, etc. and manually change your nutrition goals in MFP.

I apologize that I can't offer advice as to what is happening in the present but for the long term goal, definitely start doing weight/resistance training. Increasing muscle increases metabolism and is the only way to make sure you can keep losing fat without having to go down to 1400, 1300, etc. because who could do that…

Try switching things up as others have mentioned. It's all about shocking the body into change. Try different weight lifting techniques, plyos, kettlebells, etc. try a different eating method, maybe lower on carbs and higher on fats for a couple weeks while keeping protein high.

You could try cutting only processed carbs and still them in their whole form. Oats, quinoa, beans, lentils, etc.

An apple with peanut butter and flax meal hot cereal, flavored with any sweetener plus some dried fruit, nuts, etc

I'm vegetarian, I eat eggs and fish. My daily meals(I don't skimp on protein): An apple with peanut butter and two eggs, sometimes I add strawberries Quinoa with black beans and chopped baked yams Amy's organic lentil soup Tuna, almonds, baby carrots, sometimes made into a salad when I have time Nugo slim protein bar or…

Good to know. Maybe it's typical across the board

I eat around 1400-1800 cals and do not eat land animals Two eggs and an apple with peanut butter Quinoa with black beans and baked chopped yam Amy's lentil soup Tuna salad made with 1/2 avocado, hard boiled egg, pickle, mustard, on a bed of spinach with cucumbers and carrots Nugo slim protein bar Dry roasted almonds, baby…

Yeah and I don't bring my scale with me so I had to have it at home one day to find out once I realized and it was bugging me lol. It's usually my quick lunch for work.

If it's the same can size, which I'm pretty sure it is, then I would say yes but I actually haven't tried Amy's chili yet! Totally on my to try list :)

An apple with a serving of peanut butter and two eggs has done the trick for me for about the last year :) sometimes I have strawberries with it too

I honestly didn't look, I weighed it in grams and divided that number by the number of grams in a serving. I'm very untrusting of labels lol
