Fun fact, it takes 400 generations (about 7000 years apparently?) of humans to adapt to a new diet, so I'm guessing we're still trying to catch up.

BMR/RMR is what you body would burn if you were to sit in bed all day and literally do nothing. If you were in a hospital in a coma, the doctors would use this number to keep your body functioning. TDEE is total daily energy expendure. This includes your BMR/RMR plus any other activity like walking to the kitchen, going…

I'd have to say yes to most in the fact that 1) most "healthy" breads have high GI levels, higher than we think/are led to believe, 2) are usually full of chemicals and unnecessary crud, 3) are a waste of calories and aren't very filling, and 4) the wheat crop has turned to GMO'd junk. The exception would be home-made…

I have days like these. Some days you'll be not very hungry and easily hit a large deficit, others your hunger will skyrocket. It's fine if it's once in a while. Tomorrow's a new day!

Very helpful, thanks!

1g per lb of lean mass, like jay said. Extra protein can be converted to glycogen (it's a secondary source). Protein is used for muscle growth and repair so a little more won't hurt if you're active, but eating enough for your total body mass doesn't make sense -- fat cells don't need protein.

Chicken, turkey, tuna (other fish also), cheese, eggs, mayo, oils, nuts. If you're craving carbs, eat spinach or chia/flax seeds. (I'm on Keto.)
-
Cheese sticks, jerky, beans, meat, chickpeas, make protein bars.

If you have accurate hunger signals you're not hungry at breakfast, don't eat breakfast. I know some people that have actually lost five pounds by turning away from typical protocol of "eat breakfast" and eating intuitively. At the end of the day, it's cals in vs. cals out. I usually eat most food at night b/c of exercise…

Water and pineapple are actually very high in sugar despite being high in water content. People on Paleo generally avoid these foods because of their sugar content. Try berries, apples, and figs/dates/raisins. They have more fiber. I'm on Keto and if I need something sweet I always go for peanut butter. Believe me, I've…

*throws confetti* Great job!

Grapes (60 cals 1/2 cup), blueberries (40 cals 1/2 cup) , baby carrots (40 cals for about 10 pieces), almonds (each is 7 cals), tuna (60 - 120 per serving depending), wrap (just by itself, about 90 - 180 cals depending on brand), oats (1/2 cup is 150 cals). Greek yoghurt definitely if I wasn't dairy sensitive.

So you want salted, high protein, low cal, low carb? These are all high cal because they are fat dources, but... Pumpkin and sunflower seeds, peanuts, pecans, and almonds probably have what you're looking for.

"I really hate macro %s, don't even get why people still use that instead of counting grams." Because everyone has a different calorie and macro need based on goals, calorie intake, and how the body handles certain macro ratios. Telling a 120lb person and 210lb person to eat 150g protein per day will produce drastically…

I think Slimfast is a protein bar or physllium husk thing to keep you full. Products like these are meant to help you if you are constantly hungry and such (which I would think is caused by a thyroid issue?).... so if you are an emotional/bored eater type this probably won't help you... just a thought. I saw another Slim…

Since peanuts are roots related to potato would you be able to eat that? What about seeds? Low GI fruits I found are under-ripe/greenish bananas, cherries, grapefruit, dried apricots, sometimes plums and oranges (all 31 or lower). Remove relations to peach family (plums, apricots, cherries are in rose family/ peach…

- Cookie-like taste: Almonds with raisins or cacao nibs - Nuts and seeds. Fats slow digestion. - Cacao has no sugar to it! Only fats and protein. (: Look for high fiber fruits! If you freeze it it tastes pretty good. Oats are actually pretty sweet if you eat them plain and get your palette down enough. Breads are also a…

Bagged beans/rice, frozen veggies (50 cents a pound), oats (old fashioned rolled in tubs), canned tuna/chicken (70 cents a can), wheat bread ($1 a loaf), peanut butter (2$ a jar on sale), bananas (usually 18 cents each depending on size), carrots, eggs, sometimes apples and potatoes. What's in season will be cheap. Buy…

Starvation mode takes a while to occur, it happens if, say, a 160lb man lives on 800 calories for a few years. You don't achieve it by undereating by 500 calories for a year or so, your metabolism just gets suppressed by 5% or something like that. If you are sure your hunger signals are accurate, then do what you're doing.…

I am on Keto, I keep it between 10 - 30 net. Usually 21-ish net daily.

The women themselves work out and eat cleanly in order to maintain their figure. Are they photoshopped? Probably, yeah. I don't like their body shapes, I find many of them have severe hips (IE got lower ribs removed), but that is not anyone's choice but the photoshoppers', so there's no reason to be unkind to the models…

Fall, definitely. No sweat or chills, get to wear hoodies, not to mention the addictive and pleasurable scents and tastes. I'm usually very busy during October/November, and where I live currently, fall is very brief and lasts maybe three weeks in October depending on the location in the mountains. I'm a November baby so…

I don't eat wheat bread because they are empty calories and wheat crop has turned to GMO trash. I rarely eat bread, but when I do it's Ezekiel bread (sprouted), or spelt slices, or rye bread. Find a local bread baker, they probably offer real, hearty, non-Wheat bread. The stuff we normally call bread is featherlight…

Cheap foods: - Old fashioned rolled oats - Wheat bread and pasta - Peanut butter - Carrots - Eggs maybe? - Bananas - Applesauce (tub, not cups usually) - Beans (canned and bagged), rice (bagged dried) - Frozen or canned veggies - Canned tuna (and chicken I guess?) Always check sales, compare prices, and buy in bulk when…

You should be fine, I've done the same before, just be more careful next time.

Go with Kashi. Anything in the regular aisle is trash, Special K and Cheerios included (sorry guys). My personal favorites are the GoLean lines (original in red box is very tasty), and their Good Friends cereal. Granola tastes good but it is often filled with too much sugar... Cascadian Farm is a huge culprit of that. Make…

Like what others have said... Drink plenty of water, move as much as possible, stick to clean foods, log everything. If you can, eat out as least as possible. It is expensive, and you can get a great deal of experience buying fresh from markets, cooking it yourself or asking someone to (if you can), and interacting with…
