Went to Fuddruckers for my birthday last month, got a 1/2 burger without the bun, because I was monitoring carbs at the time due to a few elevated blood glucose levels.....before adding the cheese, mayo, and etc...like close to 1k! Thank goodness I didn't get fries!

99% of the time: General Tso chicken, pork fried rice, hot and sour soup, crispy noodles for the soup, egg roll, and some of those delicious fried donuts. Hope you weren't looking for lower calorie options. ;)

thanks, all. :) I've been getting up at like 0330 and going to the gym before work (and actually looking forward to it, GO ME! LOL), and doing cardio, and every other day or so, going after work as well, and doing strength, and maybe cardio if time/body/mood allows. It's amazing how my energy level and mental health has…

I occasionally log food at work. I try to do it in the break room, when no one is around, because it often sparks questions, and I get the "OCD" Comments. Is that the only reason you don't want to? Or perhaps peel your banana, or slice your apple, weigh them at home, rub a smidgen of lemon juice to prevent browning, and…

Thanks, I appreciate the insight. and what an amazing journey and accomplishments for you!

Haha then yum! I could binge on nuts 24/7. Especially pecans :drool:

Monkey nuts? Please elaborate. Because my visual isn't too appetizing. Lol.

Lol right? Doesnt it sound yummy. (Sode note, my dream is to open a bakery) At an attempt to not derail the thread, OP could even have this if they have 1,000 calories left over. Because while nutrient sense food is great, sometimes, we just need a cake sandwich grilled in butter. Sugar is in apples, too. Oh, and in your…

Thinly sliced pound cake as bread. Mix cake crumbles with frosting and sprinkles and nuts for a "spread" brush the sandwich with butter and put that bad boy on a foreman or Panini press, and BAM. Cake sandwich. God, with this brain, no wonder I'm fat.

I'm sure you didn't "really" gain 6 lbs in a week, because that would mean you ate 21,000 calories over what your body needs. A lot can be water retention, stress, etc. Our body fluctuates in weight several pounds each day You don't have to cut out any particular food, or follow a fad such as paleo. Do you use a food…

Then it's three hours. You won't starve.

I got that's the case, I believe my ford focus will be a 67 vette when u walk to the parking lot this afternoon. You may "tbink" you lost weight with these bull products, but unless you follow CICO, you won't!

Last hope? That type of mentality will get you nowhere. Take it from me, the person who, in the past did the military diet, the green tea diet, the cabbage soup diet, slimfast shakes, garcinia cambodia, any pill or drink sold on TV or in a magazine diet. The type of mentality that WILL get you somewhere: Eat the foods you…

Like everyone else said, it's just one hour. And almost no one on this forum, myself included, has ever known what TRUE hunger is. If you stayed up an hour later than normal one night, would you go fix an extra meal? I'd guess no.

I realized today, at the gym, instead of saying "just one more set before you're done" I was saying "you can do just one more set" Also, I hate working my arms out because they're so week. Today I realized I've gone up on number of reps, sets, and weights! :smile:

OMG the mcrib!!! Drool! Lol. I eat fast food multiple times a week. Normally it's like something grilled from chick fila or a kids meal, or a whole wheat subway, but I killed it at the gym this morning after having a light breakfast, so I could have that 540 calorie sandwich. :) I hate to see people thinking stuff such as…

<< this slob enjoyed a big Mac after the gym, I ate pork rinds for a snack, and I'll still be in a deficit and meet my macros after dinner. *shrug*

Yeah, I'd eat breakfast later. I ate right when I got to work at 0700. Protein filled Greek yogurt and some beef jerky (weird combo but I need to reach protein goals. I normally eat at 1130 for lunch. By 0920, I thought the clock had stopped moving lol.

Are you weighing all your solids, and measuring all your liquids?

Weigh it instead of measuring next time, you'll be even more bummed lol

have a FOMO of becoming morbidly obese, developing major medical conditions such as cardiac and respiratory issues, cirrhosis and hepatitis from your very heavy alcohol consumption, and dying. You'll be missing out on a lot of nights out. Nothing wrong with going out and having a drink now and again, and maybe even tying…

I had a can of white albacore tuna with mayo, celery, onions, tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers mixed in, on one of those sandwich thins

Eat when you want as long as you stay within goals.

I LOVE ramen, lol. Especially when I dress it up how I like it, drop an egg in it, or some leftover chicken, or some cheese or something, maybe replace the seasoning pack with my own spices. I tend to make two servings out of it about 70% of the time. Because calories and sodium.

Id say the "crash diet" is more dangerous than the ramen.

I have to say: While it is nice to have others be mindful you're watching calories, asking them to change their habits is not you're place. You're the one that chose the different lifestyle, not them. Apples and yogurt? You're not getting nearly enough protein. See the nutrients tab on your diary? Click it. Try to meet…

Perhaps you could not go to these dinners, if it's truly hindering your journey this badly. Or you could go with the flow. Those folks that do not weigh food, count calories, don't understand. Example: family.holiday get together. "Holly, we're having hot dogs, chips and dip, potato salad, and banana pudding, can you eat…

Edena, it seems you have a lot of disordered thoughts about your eating. I'd suggest talking to your PCP.

I don't get to go out for mexican often. I mean, REALLY go out for mexican. Not just a couple fish tacos, but chips and cheese, a plate full of rice, sauces, etc etc, and a buncha margaritas. When I have a great week with my calories, and I work the hell out that day, I know i CAN have one of my favorite meals. If that…

I don't think you're logging your foods as accurately as you think. No offense, but you're here because you were eating much more than 1200 a day. Weigh your food, choose a verified, correct entry.
