I am a fan of fat too, and I have the same problem. When I try to eat more protein, I go over on fat macro or sodium easily. When I tried to add more vegetable and fruit, then my carb intake will be very high instead. :(

I too have it for potassium. I usually have the one right from the the coconut itself instead of from the juice from store package though. I have tried those that is already pack in some package and its taste is disappointing. Fresh young coconut water is better,IMO.

I have been in maintenance for almost a year now and I still track my food. I wish I don't have to and I wish that at least I can have cheat weekends or cheat days where I can go over without worrying about what and how much I eat but I have asked around and it seems that unless you are on deficit, cheat day or not logging…

I have been maintaining for about half a year now. I eat a bit more but still eat lower than my average calorie goal per week. Now I am increase my workout activity and not sure should I eat more calories based from what I have burned nowaday or not. =P

I am having the same problem too. I live in Asia, even the fresh non process food here is choke fulled of sodium. (-__-) Lately, I tried to eat more potassium rich food to balance it out such as cantaloup, soy bean, young coconut juice/meat and lots of veggies but then I have problem with too much carb, not enough protein…

Thank you so much for help answer me this question. I thought this thread get completely ignored already.

Hi, it's me again. I have question regrading TDEE and exercise calorie. Now, here is the question, back when I was trying to lose, my TDEE is around 1680-1735. I didn't not exercise, just counting calories of food I ate. Now I am try to maintain my weight and I am exercise more. I based my TDEE by using fitbit. I exercise…

From what I know, it is around 165-180 kcal...should not exceed 200 Kcal per one serving. I usually just ask them to separate the dressing on the sites and dipping the beef instead, this way I can just weight the meat and log it wihtout all the fuss about dressing calorie+sodium.

Bump with questions, first of all I am not looking to lose weight anymore, just want to maintain my weight. Now, here is the question, back when I was trying to lose, my TDEE is around 1680-1735. I didn't not exercise, just counting calories of food I ate. Now I am try to maintain my weight and I am exercise more. I based…

Bump! Thank you very much for your reply. I am appreciate it. :flowerforyou:

I am trying to maintain my weight now but because I live in Asia and their food are mostly high in sodium. If I go over sodium everyday, will my body adjust to the sodium level or the weight is going to pile up more and more.

I know about Potassium help balance sodium out. :smile: Actually the reason I snack on Edamame is because it is potassium rich. I just confused of how much sodium Edamame has exactly. I have always though it only has 6mg 80 gram (USDA) but now I am not sure... Anybody know how much sodium is in 100 gram or so of Edamame?

I do brisk walking and running/jogging in the morning and in the evening. Each session last around 1:15hr - 1:30hr, unless I think I eat too much, then I work out longer than that. I am now considering doing bodyweight training but still can't wrap my brain over how to do squat correctly-every time I try to do it I keep…

Yes, I am trying to maintain now. Thanks for take notice for this. :smile: What I am concern is if I average My TDEE wrong and over eat on my cheat day (Sunday-as in my example in the first thread) , I will gain weight ? Is it OK if I counting calories in this manner every week with Sunday as my cheat day? My life schedule…

Bump.. Anyone?

Thanks for the reply. My schedule is vary from month to month, so I suppose using TDEE method is better. I'm still not sure I got it figure out right or not, so I will post this question again on another section in MFP for the answer. :ohwell:

I did not said that I will not cooking for myself at all. I tried cooking a big meal and keep it in freezer for a while but most of the time it got left there until they are gone bad. So what I cooked for now is stir fried because it is easy for portion control but it is calories dense because the food here in Southeast…

I have tried cooking by myself but it is not working..I live alone and things spoiled easily. I also 'have to' eat out often so most of the food I made got spoiled in the fridge. I know if it high sodium food for a period of time, for example, a week or 2 will cause temporary weight gain. However, if I eat it everyday,…

I am trying to increase my work out right now and try to drink a lots of water already, including try to eat more potassium rich food-fruit and vegetable. Yet, then I will have problem with not be able to get enough protein macro instead when I tried to balance out potassium and sodium.

Thanks for the reply. My daily activity is not consistent much from month to month, so I think the first option is better. :)

Thanks all for the reply. I have one free days already and I average my calories in each week. The problem is I just can't help snacking, especially with something crunchy lately. Anyway, today I finally manage to eat less than my TDEE, though my macro nutrient is out of wack with high carb low protein today.

Crunchy things....I tried to snack on fruit and veggies but it doesn't cut it. :( It is not the same as the cruch from chips, cookies, almonds, peanuts, cashews, pistachio, pretzel, cracker, biscuit. :(

I am a huge fan of Japanese food and I love sushi. ^_^ My top 3 most favorite are Ikura, Shime Saba, Tamago. :love:

Pork Lasagna with salad

I have 2 of them -I use Greenpan and when I fry eggs, it is still stick. Not sure why. :\

Snack on: Almond Cachew Macademia Peanuts Buttered popcorn Cheese 2-3 pieces or more of Pretzel Dessert: Ice cream, choose the brand with high calorie and have them more than one scoop Pancake/waffle with full cream topping with honey or maple syrub Shibuya Style Honey Toast, if you can fine it in your area or you can make…

-Almond, i just want a whole can. I used to do it twice, one time it was uncontrolled binging another time I have a lots of calories left so it's under my calorie goal but my macro got all screwed up with fat... -Peanuts, pistachio, cashew, macademia -Raisin, craisin, cherry, strawberry -Berry pies, especially Blueberry…

This is a part that make me got confused too because some sources states that it should be lb per lean body mass, then some says it is per body weight. So I don't know which is the right criteria for setting up my macro right. :\
