Thank you Coder, I will look up the "upping calories and what to expect" threads. So complicated I need a dietician!

I agree that what I eat is very important and I have eaten less variety than I started out with. I have slacked on the cashews and almonds, avocados and I really don't want to eat animal protein anymore than I have to so I have been struggling with that. I have been increasing the animal protein in an effort to balance it…

Just to be clear, the "entire cheese pizza" was one day out of 30 and it was not accurate but the closest I could find to what I did it, which were several very small pieces of cheese pizza. Sometimes I prefer to over estimate rather than under especially when it comes to something like pizza. This last week I allowed…

I think I'm going to go 1600 a day for a week or two and see what happens. If nada I will up it again. However, as I said in a previous post I will be losing my gym access at the end of this month so I will have to shift it all again based on whatever new workout plan I can devise and adhere to at home. I think that will…

I eat a lot of salad but not much in terms of berries and nuts lately. Yes, I have lost 135 lbs in the past and most of it was lost in the pool lap swimming, on a bike, and doing capoeira... I was a lot younger then and my body burned a lot faster! I don't think doing the same things will work as well this time around!…

I think 1500 - 1600 calories is doable. In a few weeks my calorie burn is going to reduce as I will be going back home to VT from NC where I have no gym access. I'm planning and plotting my exercise activities in leu of swimming and the arc. Weights are on the list!

The low 800 day was a day I forgot to log for sure! I would pass out if I only ate 800 cals! I will say that the last week I have been feeling a bit lightheaded at the gym. I thought it was lack of water now that I upped my cardio so much. Hmmm, it is amazing how much I realize when I'm writing this for someone else to…

So if I were to up my calories to follow the TDEE - 20% rule I would have to eat 2144 calories a day. Ummm, I don't think I can do that unless I want to eat stuff I don't want to eat just to fill that number. I feel that maybe the TDEE - 40% might be more practical for my to start with. That would be about 1600 cal a day.

Thank you everyone! I think I just made my diary public... please check! I have considered that my caloric intake is to low. I don't mind adding some calories on. It seems I have been more hungry lately anyway. I did add protein shakes after I workout to help with increasing my calories and protein intake after I work out.…
