Ultimately for me it is coming down to CICO, with some exercise and cooking good food at supper time. Generally I try to keep carbs down, not because they're inherently bad, but because proteins and fats suppress my voracious appetite better. I usually do a protein shake with added fat (heavy cream) for breakfast and…

6.7oz chicken breast and a salad for lunch, protein shake for breakfast after a morning workout.

Detoxing is just another fad designed to take advantage of dumb people.

Carbing up always makes me sleepy, probably why I have trouble sleeping now >.>

People always skip over these answers because it's so much easier to pretend it's something out of your control.

So you say you're weighing everything, but I see a lot of volume and "serving" type entries. Like did your banana on weds actually weigh 126g or are you just counting one banana? Also your proteins like chicken are using Kroger entries, is that raw or cooked? How was it cooked? Try using the USDA entries instead, they're…

I have a friend who's a yoga instructor, she said that people are always worried about being uncoordinated and unbalanced when they start, but the point of yoga is to gain that. Nobody starts off weight lifting as an aesthetic, pumped, ultimate man monster, think of yoga the same way. Also as far as your ankle goes, try…

I really doubt that the logging is accurate, looking at the volume measurements and "servings"

Ditch the herbalife. It is a pyramid scheme and you should not support it, not to mention it's BS. Ditch the Jamba Juice too, it's very nearly empty carbs that will not help with satiety. Try some proteins and fats instead, make an egg sandwich or a breakfast wrap. There are a lot of days with no lunches, and a lot of…

Set your Diary settings to Public at the bottom of the page here. Then we can review and see what the problem is. And are you counting absolutely everything? Bites and nibbles still count.

They aren't beneficial at all, but we're all human. Make a responsible choice, ask yourself if its really worth it, and still log and complete your entry.

What is your budget for food? Eating healthy can cost significantly less than unhealthy, depending on your restrictions. Check out www.reddit.com/r/EatCheapAndHealthy and www.reddit.com/r/MealPrepSunday

Dishes and general kitchen cleanup are my least favorite parts, but man I love to cook. Cooking allows me to completely control my caloric intake by measuring everything in grams and plugging it into the MFP recipe calculator. And that way, I can have really good foods on my diet without just nixing things out entirely.…

Yeah that's wrong. Someone on their team done goofed. Unless they're somehow managing to add 124g of protein and 93g of fat in just sauce.

Yeah but the carb:protein ratio is off

According to the USDA nutrient database, theres about a 70cal difference between the two, per 100g (~3wings, from my experience). So the bulk of the calories is still coming from the wing itself, but the extra from the frying/flour can stack up easily. Though I'm not sure how the fried wings magically have more protein…

Chicken wings are high in fat compared to other kinds of chicken, hence the increased number of calories. 1. Weigh wings (cooked) 2. Eat wings 3. Weigh bones/refuse 4. Subtract bone weight from wing weight 5. Log your wings using the "Chicken, broilers or fryers, wing, meat and skin, cooked, roasted" entry

If you're avoiding protein powder, boneless skinless chicken breast is pretty much the lowest calorie-per-gram-of-protein you can get. USDA nutrition DB shows that chicken is 120cal, 22.5g protein, 2.62g fat per 100g. Fat-trimmed pork loin is good too, at 132cal, 22.39g protein, 4.06g fat per 100g.

I've noticed that lately I've been getting hungrier and my endurance has been suffering as the week goes on, and I'm just doing cardio and haven't implemented strength training yet. This week I've started upping my protein to see if it increases satiety, and I'm going for 1700-1900 calories daily instead of the 1500-1700…

No.

My dogs are both rescues as well and had some trouble with leash aggression, but working hard on the "leave it" command and using an easy walk harness has made a world of difference with them. The harness especially, makes it so they can't tug.

As a 6'1 300lbs guy, the elliptical estimates around 550-575 calories burned for me in a 35min session. So according to that I could potentially burn 1000 calories in 1hr. However, those numbers are usually BS and I definitely don't eat them back. I think of exercise and lifting as fitness, and diet as weight loss.

I think they're more referring to your "evolution of disgust" portion than your "obesity is unhealthy" portion. Like your statement could be taken as "Human beings have evolved to be disgusted by unhealthy things, like obesity." And they are refuting it with "Viewing individuals as unhealthy and therefore disgusting is…

Obese people cannot be healthy. But people shouldn't be shamed or bullied for it.

Seriously, this is absolutely the key to it all. It's the answer to these threads more times than not.

There's your problem, get a digital kitchen scale for $20 and start measuring your food.

Lots of volume and "whole item" measurements in your diary, are you actually weighing your food?

Low-calorie bread is depressing. It leaves you wanting the real thing more than it satisfies the craving for a sandwich or toast. Just budget for the good stuff and enjoy your food.

Share your diary and the cause will probably become apparent.

2 pieces of bacon in a skillet, put it in the oven (make sure your skillet is oven safe, like cast iron). Set to 400F. After 15mins, check the bacon, if its crisp, then remove, otherwise, give it some more time. Drain the bacon, put fat in a jar or something and store in the fridge, use it instead of other oils sometimes,…
