Ok... I will give it a try! Thanks!

6 weeks ago. Will be cleared to start easy/slow exercise in 4 more weeks.

So it sounds like there is some benefit to keeping all three at almost equal amounts. Wondering if you know why that is? There seem to be a variety of calculators (and info) on how to set calorie counts, but have not found anything yet about carbs/protein/fat.

Wow. Your story is inspiring. I didn't realize weight loss fluctuated like that. Congrats on sticking with it. Good for you. And, for me, hopefully I can start exercising a little next month. Still recovering from back surgery, so not cleared yet for e exercise. But I'm encouraged by your story. Thank you.

hi there. Wondering how you came up with that 40/30/30 breakdown? What is it based on?

ok.. so don't eat below BMR, but it doesn't really matter what the calories consist of in terms of fat, protein, carbs. I'll try to get my head around that, but I'm sure you can understand that it doesn't sound quite right.

OK... does it matter what percent of those calories are carbs, fats and proteins?

Yes, I can try. As I understand it, there are a lot of variables involved in weight loss (and a lot of opinions about what works and what doesn't), so to me, it's not obvious that it's a calorie count issue. It could be. It could be that and something else? Or several things. That's why I wanted to hear from everyone and…

Also... wondering what carb-protein-fat ratios you guys are using????

OK... great feedback from everyone. Lots to think about. Thanks! Tried the other calculator and got a similar outcome (and it used different language, not BMR or TDEE)... Maintain: 1691 Fat Loss: 1353 Extreme Fat Loss: 1160

ok, thanks. Question... what do you mean by metabolism has crashed?

BMR : 1411 TDEE: 1560
