So, in this system I am not concerned with going over limits, but at least reaching a minimum when it comes to fats and proteins. Okay.

Acg67, didn't quite get that, but I'll figure it out and try to use it.

I am currently eating 40-45 almonds/day. :)

Yeah, I've started using whey, too lately. It's great. Had a bit of trepidation, because it's always been in my mind, something for guys trying to bulk up that lift all the time. But, another thing I guess I need to get over, cause a lot of ladies trying to slim down seem to love it, too!

I'm using MFP's recommendations for the carbs, fats, etc. I set my own calorie goal, but am trying to eventually eat 200+ calories than that. I really don't know enough to adjust the macros on my own. Tried to read some recommendations for carbs, but they seemed kind of low to me.

It's years of listening to the media. I am definitely trying to work on it. I don't want to eat low carb by any means, but still unsure about eating over my carb limit. I am not an athletic or active person. I guess I should just shut up and become one, though, huh?

Thanks...I've been eating quite a big of eggs, but I'll add the other two.

I have had the same problem--I happened to have some whey protein, so I've just been adding it to things. Not sure how I feel about whey. It seems like something I shouldn't be using, but eh.

Well, supposedly that you need to eat a lot more calories than you probably think (although, I'm wondering if this only works if you are a heavy exerciser). And that my reactions to food are totally different than a lot of people.

I made an omelet with cottage cheese, diced tomatoes, jalapenos. Oh, and hot sauce, of course.

I bet it does. Cause, wow. WOW.

Keep your protein intake above 15g/day? Wow, I'm eating like...100g/day.

Also, to get to the weight I am now, wouldn't I have had to be eating WAY above my BMR before anyway? It seems kind of hard to believe because I didn't eat as frequently as I do now, but I guess it has to be true. Right?

This is all very confusing. I've been eating about 1400 calories/day (400 less than my BMR) and I've felt a little hungry, but much better than I did when I was eating junk all the time. I don't feel like I'm about to faint like everyone says you should if you are eating below BMR. But, I also want to do this the healthy…

Also, wonder why myfitnesspal seems to suggest eating below your BMR and if eating more calories to reach the BMR means you need to do a better job on your fats, carbs, etc. levels.

It's going to be interesting, to say the least. Kind of scared. But I definitely won't have to worry about feeling hungry at all....

My BMR is 1883. I am 5'10". Right now, I have not started any kind of consistent exercise. My job requires me to be on my feet, and pace back and forth quickly. Ha.

I seriously may give that a try. Maybe add in a strobe. It might make me feel less stupid. And you know, more cool.

Honestly, I just did a search on Peanut Butter, looking for good natural brands, and found this PB2 idea. I'm shocked. I'm just amazed that anyone would feel the need for it. But I guess we all have different ways of dieting, and different dietary needs. I'm trying to find ways to add healthy calories right now, even…

Thanks for the suggestions DataBased--I just feel like I'll be so full all the time--fuller than when I eat unhealthy. I've been eating three big meals and snacking on things a few times a day so far, and not really sure my schedule is conducive to eating more times/day, which is sad. I shudder to think about how many…

Wow. I'm amazed and shocked. Apparently I should be eating 2100+ calories a day. I really cannot imagine doing that. I mean, I can. It just involves double servings of everything.

Thank you so much for the offer, Alicai! Wil definitely do so.
