I think I just might :) Thanks! Another ? for anyone: Do you think it matters when/what time of day you eat your calories??? I've heard so many different things about this topic...........close the kitchen at 8pm, dont eat anything after dinner, dont eat anything 2 hours prior to bedtime, or some say it doesnt matter what…

:flowerforyou: My TDEE - 15% is 1881 calories........My BMR is 1428 calories. Today I'm sitting at a litle over 1500 which is above my BMR but under my TDEE. I havent worked out today at all and quite frankly I've been sitting around all day except for going to the grocery store ealier. I am under my calories by about 300…

:smile: thanks! :smile:

Thanks for your reply. I'm wondering how long I should wait (since I've only been doing this EMTLW for not quite 2 weeks) until I try the reset? 4 weeks maybe? I would hope to see results by then. If I only maintain my current weight, then i would want to do a reset? And by a reset, that means eating my TDEE without taking…

how do you know if you need to do a metabolism reset?? My BMR is 1428 and my TDEE - 15% is 1881....so I've been eating 1881 calories unless I dont hit my bmr on workout days and then I eat back what I need to to get to the 1428... is this correct? i'm only on week 2.... cant tell if my weight is going up, down or holding…

Thank you!!

Thanks! :) I eat as clean as possible throughout the day but always allow a nightly treat which currently is a golden grahm treat bar :) lol It has 13 grams of sugar in it which doesnt help when I'm only allowed 40 grams for the entire day. lol I also have a nut/trail mix most days and that has a lot of sugar in it as…

ok. never mind. i just checked and I have 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat............. now i'm confused. what should I have them set to?

That's why I dont eat any fruit, b/c I would over in sugar grams every single day... I've always thought that was crazy but that is what my registered dietician told me to do...then again, she also told me to eat 1,200 calories a day........ so in your opinion, I should pay more attention to the 1881 calories a day and not…

Hello all. I'm just starting week 2 today of EMTWL. I was eating 1,200 calories and starting last week upped my calories to 1881 a day. On workout days I often have to eat back a small portion of my calories so on those days I'm eating approx. 2000 calories. Anyhow, I'm trying to figure it all out still. I either do great…

LOL :) I never actually threw up, just felt like crap from all the sugar and calories. :) thanks again!

Thank you! That is great advice. I usually use Sunday's b/c it's my rest day, but I think I will make sure I workout on that day as well to help offset the calories. In the past I've been eating 1200 calories and then binging on Sundays and then I would feel miserable all day long. My stomach hurt to the point of almost…

What does you mean when you say "spike one day on the weekend" never heard of that. I want to have one day a week where I eat out one meal and have a big piece of cake :) and not worry about my calories. (without it turning into a binge) Any advice/suggestions as to how to incorporate this?

So, today is my day #1 of upping my calories. I was at 1200 and need to go to 1881 and was going to try to do it gradually, but after more research I decided to just bite the bullet and do it day 1. I went to enter my info. on myfitnesspal and had a question. I changed my calories to the 1881, changed my protein and fat to…

thank you!!! Since I am only eating 1200 a day I am going to gradually increase this to get to the 1881. Cant wait to start giving this a try.... I appreciate your time and help :)

Ok. I am one of "those" people who only eat 1200 calories a day. I have done this for over a year and have lost 135 lbs. I still want to lose about 10 more pounds. I workout (running and lifting) 5-6 days a week and burn about 400-650 calories per wrokout. I have been doing lots of research about "eating more to lose…

ok. I give up. :( I can not seem to figure out how to post my before/after pictures. I have a ton of them on facebook if you want to see them, feel free to friend me. :) I have a weight loss page there where I post daily about my food, exercise, and share the things I've learned along the way.
