  • Play it by ear, check yourself once a week to minimize the confusion from fluctuations on the scale. I heard the insantiy program is difficult so if you're following their workouts religiously then I wouldn't recommend doing anything extra on the side unless you really feel full of energy.
    in Upping my calories-need support Comment by wblau1991 July 2013
  • I totally agree with your message. Daily caloric intake ins't really as important as weekly caloric intake and you explained it quite nicely. The only thing I would suggest is to be careful with your insulin levels. Eating that much sugar will hurt your body. Sometimes we need to realize we're not just looking at…

  • Step by step: 1) Figure out how many calories you burn a day 2) Eat slightly below how much you burn 3) Log your food intake (using an electronic scale to the nearest gram); measure how many grams of rice/meat/banana you're eating etc. 4) Do whatever exercise you want to do (at this point you don't really need to stress…

You should look into other more informative websites than myfitnesspal forums if you want to build…

Perhaps you're a "carb sensitive" individual who reacts better to a diet higher in protein and fat. As previous posters already mentioned try increasing your protein and fat intake while keeping your calories the same.…
    in Hitting a weight loss wall Comment by wblau1991 July 2013
  • Seems like you're really into losing weight so I would suggest you start researching a little bit to figure out how many calories you burn a day. Once you have figured that out, eat less than your burn. Also you should focus a little more than just calories because how you distribute your calories is also important. People…
    in 118 lbs, 5'3", 20 years old; trying to lose Comment by wblau1991 July 2013
  • Try modifying your macronutrients. Try lowering your carbs slightly and increasing your protein and fat intake. I've heard of people being "carb sensitive" before.
