So, despite eating ~3000 calories in a SITTING in the early morning today and not eating anything else so far, but I'm hungry...? What do I do? Eat and suffer the consequences or not eat and feel crappy the rest of the day? I'm absolutely being serious, coming from someone with a developed eating disorder. People think I'm…

Hey guys, thanks for the comments. I'm 5'11" and my calculated BMR done at a local health shop gave me around 1890/day. I do tend to restrict calories (severely) on the following day after a binge, but as some have pointed out, that doesn't always work well. I've set myself at a 1.5lb loss a week to get me back on track…

I agree, so, resume normal eating the next day? I would think that I should eat less...

Hi, yes, I tend to consume a lot of protein bars, notably, Quest Bars, which are protein and fiber and fats. So at the end of the day, my NET carb count may be around 60 grams. I also eat meat, veggies, some starches, and nuts. But I do like those protein bars :wink: Also I have had a discussion about "body set point" in…

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm 5'11". I'm honestly not feeling "quilty" per se about eating that much, and that was a lot, of everything, but I feel satisfied. Right now, my body feels like it's trying to figure out what to do with everything. I have stress and anxiety and I think that's part of my problem. I keep striving…

I opened my food log up. I messed up again! I don't really feel guilty, but now I feel like I need to not eat or fast or something tomorrow. I came home very tired from work, wasn't hungry, and then just started eating... and eating as you can see in the Dinner section of 9/17/2014. The scary thing is, I still feel like I…

You're awesome, thank you! What do you feel makes sense for macros though, percentage wise?

I have issues, lol. This is good hearing from a fellow CrossFitter! I'm exactly that, hyper analyzing my macros and then stressing over it. Kind of a background, but when I lost my weight in such a short amount of time, I lost a lot of, well, everything and became very lean. Then I started CF. Didn't track anything, did…

Thank you for the feedback! Even if I'm not hungry, should I still eat up to 2400 calories/day. A typical day consists of doing CrossFit in either the morning or evening and incorporates a strength component, the wod, and then maybe a cash-out like a 1 mile run, sit-ups, planking until failure. Then I typically walk around…

I've found that if you get to a weight that your body doesn't agree with, you will binge, almost inevitably. Likewise, this was an event that happened and now it's over. I would focus on trying to figure out your triggers for binge eating and learn from it. Write on paper and post it where you can see it, that "it's not…

Hey, it'll be okay. Hang in there. If it makes you feel any better, I just binged tonight as well on Fiber One cereal, an entire box, like 1200 over my TDEE. I've done this like 3 times this week. All you can do is move on. That's it! You are a normal person, nothing wrong with you, so don't beat yourself up. What has…

If you're Sedentary (which it doesn't sound like you are), as in, doing much of nothing, 1200 calories is still too low, I would be around 1400-1500 calories. If you're doing exercise, absolutely eat more, perhaps 1700 calories or even 1800, the exercise will create a deficit. Exercise is important, sure, but DIET is a…

Take it from someone who has eaten at this amount and did an hour of calisthenics every other day, yup, you'll lose a lot of fat and muscle fast. I too am 5'11", Male, this is not good for a male. You should be at 1500-1800 calories. The reason you feel fine and aren't hungry is because your body has become acclimated to…

BUMP Just need help on this in case I do this again (which will happen I'm sure).

I have had FitBit synced up to MFP, but I wanted an approach to a set amount of calories a day, so I have removed FitBit from MFP. Should I keep it on all the time? To answer the question, I stick to MFP and just eat up to the amount given. I'm mixed between sedentary and lightly active, but it really can vary. There can…

I struggle a lot with weight issues or body issues. My goal is to be lean and healthy and having strength. I just don't know how many calories I should eat per day, whether it's dynamic or static or even eat back exercise calories. I have binge eating issues too, as I just had a pretty bad one last night. I'm not sure what…

I have my carbs set at 40%, so around 230 carbs, but most of the time, I eat vegetables or kidney beans, so I'm netting around 100 to 150 carbs for the day after fiber is subtracted. I do 40% carbs, 30% fat, 30% protein. I focus more on protein being about 170 grams, so 1 gram per pound of body weight and then fit in fats…
