Weight loss is not linear. Averaging .75 pounds a week is nothing to be concerned about. You'll be fine.

Explain it to me like I'm four. How are "Overeating anything will cause a person to get fat" and "over eating protein can result in no weight gain (no loss either)" compatible concepts? I can undesertand if either one is true, or the other is true, or both are false, but I simply cannot wrap my head around how both…

So, you're back to claiming - in the portion that I bolded - that eating 10,000 calories a day of chicken breast can result in zero weight gain or loss, with no corroborating statement about the amount of exercise needed to maintain that stasis. If this is an incorrect understanding of your position, please clarify.

Congratulations. I joined MFP because my clothes were getting too tight, and the price was within my budget.

Is it your contention that chicken breast is a carb?

Two from Harry Chapin get me with some regularity: A Better Place to Be and Mr. Tanner The former gets me right around the "six word letter;" the latter around the spoken-word review of Mr. Tanner's performance.

Analogies are a thing.

Graduated HS weighing 147; family told me I looked 'on the heavy side' at that weight. Somewhere in the 150 range now; same family members telling me they worry about me getting 'too thin.' So, yeah. :indifferent:

Carbohydrates are nutrients. Sugar is a carbohydrate. You were saying?

http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/76/1/5.full Notice how the GI value for foods varies within the same food type by the person being tested? That appears to be a problem with the science behind the glycemic index.

So eating 10,000 calories of chicken breast won't make you fat? Fascinating.

You're asking that they prove a negative?

Honey-roasted cashews. Alcohol would be a good 2nd choice.

But, fruit has sugar in it. . . .

Can you show anyone but you making this claim in the thread?

Please clarify the mystical process by which your body differentiates glucose sources, metabolically. Thank you.

Why low sugar? Why is sugar unclean? Apples, oranges, bananas, pears. . . not clean?

Log it, move on. You won't wreck your diet in a day, unless you start repeating the same behaviors every day.

"I failed a test once and they still gave me a degree." - words from a wise MFP forum poster.

Congratulations if that works for you - and yes, getting sufficient protein is vital - but there's no particular need for most people to go low carb, or to time their carbohydrate or general food intake.

Could you point to some peer-reviewed studies on nutrition or exercise that weren't funded, at least in part, by some portion of the the food or exercise industry, for comparison?

Depends entirely on how much breakfast I have and my exercise for the day, but often around 900 from a 1690 base.

Indeed. There's a good reason, beyond simple economics, that some triathlons are sponsored by chocolate milk.

Also, remember that the closer you get to goal weight, the slower your expected rate of loss should become. With less then 20 pounds to go, for example, wanting to lose 2 pounds a week is generally* ill-advised. *Some exceptions may apply.

Have you tried logging your meals in advance? Decide at the start of the day, or even the start of the week, what breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be, with an eye toward getting sufficient proteins, fats, and fiber, as those are the macronutrients with the greatest general impact on satiety. If your snacks are your…

Coffee and diet soda are fine. Remember to log whatever calories come with your caffeinated beverages. Heck, you can even count them toward your (relatively arbitrary) 8-glass-of-water goal.

All of this.

Well, alrighty then.
