I have to be selective in my treats. I can do pizza daily, i just cant order the whole pie and expect it to last an entire week. Same thing when it comes to sweets. Cant get an entire chocolate bar and expect it to last the car ride home ... I dont like throwing the "food addict" term around, but i have the tendencies. Ill…

Even pre-planning doesn't work. I get in these "i want it" moods and no matter how hard I try, I just have to cave. It's like a drug addiction or something. It's awful. I think I have some rooted issues I need to work on....

Im not sure if its because ive been sick and home, but ive been dealing with some binge issues lately. Ugh. I dont even know why. Is tracking again stressing me out? Who knows. But ive faithfully tracked everything, even accepting the fact that i keep going way over. Maybe i need to only do pizza 1x a week? Im sure ill…

I attempted the "whole 30" once. Lasted six days. Sure I dropped weight in those six days - but so would anyone giving up EVERYTHING except lean meats, green vegetables, sweet potatoes and fruits. Oh and me without wine, grains, sugar and the like makes me stabby! Ugh! I feel fine eating things in moderation. Imagine that!

No!!!!! The kool aid...it need not be drunk!

Oh my, Chevy. That thread sounds like a bunch of teenage girls. Sad indeed.

...and im way over in calories today too....oh well. Tomorrow's a new day. :glasses:

Agreed! I try to stay away from anything listed 'low fat'. I don't trust the chemicals.

I knew that number seemed off. My diary on here has it correct then.

I *think* I figured that all out... TDEE for me (according to the Scooby site - that seems to be the most accurate[?]) is 1763, so TDEE-20% = 1410 (however, this is without exercise - once I'm feeling better and can attack the gym, i'll readjust those numbers, or eat up to TDEE, but TDEE sounds about right if I work out,…

You're officially my favorite person on here :love: K, so calories & protein I shall worry about. Everything else can go scoot. I knew I was overthinking this. Thanks! :drinker:

I had a latte & a donut. And used up almost all my carb allowance for the day. I think I'm doing this wrong....

If I can stay focused, not let my health issues derail me, then i'll say 15 lbs. If the fatigue wears on, then 10 lbs.

I just had to watch that Dunkin Donuts commercial this morning.....:grumble: After a medium latte & 1 donut, i'm already at my carb limit for the day. I'll get this right eventually....:indifferent:

I have a question about that - what if you calorie cycle? Would you still aim to hit the same protein & fat target or base it on a percentage? Or would you just eat less carbs on a lower day? Sorry if its a silly question, i just never figured how one did macros while calorie cycling.

Nom...Nom....Nom....

Feel free to add me!

Ah ok, i get it a little better now. Im just trying to understand IIFYM a little better - theres a right way and a wrong way to do it, right? Or is there no wrong way? I like the fiber idea. I may add that in as well.

Heres mine: Ultra thin crust for one w chicken and tomatoes. Mmmmm.

Oh thats not what i meant. I mean, lets say you eat your protein (and some fat) allotment in chicken. You still will have cals, carbs and the like leftover. Does that mean you can eat the remainder in say gummy bears? How does one function w all that sugar, or is IIFYM a little more balanced, allowing for some treats, not…

Pizza can be healthy, if the right toppings are chosen. No reason why it can't be eaten daily! Now eating daily kit-kats or something, or heck Pumpkin Spice M&Ms (guilty), might be a different story....

Tar-jay.....or just Target :smokin:

I know it too well....sadly.... :noway:

Adjusted my macros a bit so protein is closer to my weight...and then ended up having to go over by 77 calories today. I'm learning! Anywho, diary is open (for friends, so please add me if you wish to see!) so go check it out :)

Oh i wish I liked candy corn. The pumpkin spice ones aren't bad. Kind of like a chocolate red hot, just not spicy, if you like that sort of thing.

Shhhh you might piss off the clean eaters!

Oh no, you have to try the PUMPKIN SPICE M&Ms. Those are totally fitting for October! :love:

...bunless pizza burgers FTW.....

Thanks for making a chit-chat thread! :flowerforyou: Just want to say I :heart: IIFYM. I can have my cake (or pizza in this case) and eat it too. Suffer no repercussions and life is good. Amen.
