Click on the yellow box at the top of the page. It explains everything. There are problems system wide that they are working on.

I've thought of doing this. Do you just eat one large meal? How do you get all your calories and macros in just 4 hours? Thanks!

We have to wait until November - the 2nd and 3rd weekends. Hopefully my son will get his first deer this year. We need to restock our venison supplies.

Splenda and peppermint extract or cinnamon. Occasionally, a tablespoon of cream.

You can do a plant based diet (see Mediterranean Diet/Blue Zones) and still keep your carbs reduced. I would get clarification from your doctor. For now a 40% carb, 35-40% fat and 20-25% protein, may be a good start.

I have the premium for this reason. My calorie goal is different almost everyday. Sat & Sun are my higher calorie days - bigger lunch and dinner. During the week, my work-out days are slightly higher than my non-workout days. I determined what my calorie needs are for the week and went from there. I also adjusted my macros…

I am a Dietetic Technician (2 year degree instead of 4 year for RD). I am about 60 lbs overweight, I used to be 100 pounds overweight. Your comment is exactly why I have been hesitant to use my degree to counsel people one on one. I know my stuff, I know what I need to do to lose weight, I know how to do it. I'm just bad…

I find this to be true. When I first increased my water, I went much more often. After about a week, it was back to normal. I drink less water on the weekends, so Mondays, I make a couple extra trips to the bathroom, by Tue it's back to normal.

I like it because I do different calorie goals for different days. More on Fri - Sun, less Mon - Thu. I've also used it fine tune my Macros, but I've loosened up on that. Not sure it's actually worth it, but I keep renewing :)

You've gotten a lot of good answers. .8g/kg is the minimum required. The RDA range is .8g - 1.6g/kg depending on your activity level. The more active you are -especially if it includes strength training - the higher you go.

I bought a Cirkul water bottle. You buy flavored cartridges for it. I love it. www.drinkcirkul.com

Quinoa, legumes/beans (black, pinto, etc). Vegetables and grains have some protein in them. That mixed with the other suggestions you gotten, could help you increase your protein. I struggle to get protein in also - I do protein powder most days.

For me it depends on the situation. When I am just going about my day, shopping and stuff, I don't feel fat - I feel normal (until I see my reflection). When I'm at home I usually feel fat. The rest of my family is thin, so I feel out of place with them. Also, when I meet people for the first time, I feel very fat and…

I recently bought a Cirkul water bottle. Love it! Have flavored water everywhere I go or turn the valve and I get plain water. www.drinkcirkul.com

For a week I tracked only calories and then went back to see where my macros fell. I found I lean toward a higher fat, lower carb, I also found I don't eat enough protein. I set my my protein at a min of 75gr (20-25%), carb 130g (40%), the rest fat (33-41%). I have different calorie goals for different days. Make sure you…

Usually a medium roast. I add 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract to my 20 ounce to go cup. About once a week I'll add a packet of artificial sweetener. Summer I will often do a cold brew with the peppermint added. Other extract flavors work to.

For me it's worth it. I do different calories and macros on different days. I also prefer setting my macros to grams instead of increments of 5%. I will keep doing premium. The only glitch problems I've had was back in Jan.

I'm 5', 200 lbs, 47 y/o. My goal is 130 - 140.

I do a lot of low fat, I don't notice a difference and it allows me more calories for things I really like or to have a larger serving if it fits. I don't do fat free except sometimes greek yogurt and I drink skim milk (I'll do 1% or 2%, but can't do whole). I almost always do full fat cheese. Only exception is cream…

I make it part of my weekly goals. My calorie goal for Sun - Thur is 1400. Fri & Sat is 1800.

Yes and no. I have different calorie goals for different days. Sun - Thu goal is 1400, Fri & Sat is 1800. I figured my weekly calorie goal and adjusted from there.

Everything works fine on my phone (apple), but on the computer, it is messed up. I have premium, but all the premium features are locked. My daughter can't sign into her account at all on the computer.

Me too :) .

I'm done, obviously I cannot convince you that a healthy adult (losing, maintaining or gaining) does not need that high of protein. You continue to use what you've learned online and I will use what I am being taught by Dietetic professionals.

There is no reason to go that high. You can easily maintain (in deficit) or build (gain) muscle with 1.0g/kg.

It doesn't say it, but we've discussed it and the teachers/RD's are adamant about using kg. .8g/lb is a lot more protein than 1.0/kg. At 200lbs using the .8g/lb method equals 160g protein a day, using 1.0g/kg equals 91g/day. It is a huge difference. Unless you are a competitive weight lifter, there is no need to go that…

OP is a healthy adult so it applies to him. Using 1.0g/kg gives him the extra protein he needs, otherwise without weight lifting it would be .8g/kg. And yes I'm extrapolating from the books, because they are my textbooks that are teaching me to teach people about nutrition needs, so that's what I'm doing.

Text books that teach people to become Registered Dieticians. I will be graduating in May as a Dietician which includes internships in the medical field. It is all based on .8 - 1.0g/kg for a healthy adult. I will go by what is being taught by and to dietetic professionals instead of what all the bodybuilding websites say.
