So it's just as simple as this? What about macros? Or training days? I'm happy to hear anything as long as it's helpful.

Thanks guys for all the comments. I weigh everything and count everything. I don't always log on mfp but I keep a food diary. I'm just worried that I'm slowly putting on weight and get into a rut. I feel I constantly cut calories and just wondered if anyone has experienced the same. According to MFP I should eat 1350 and…

Thanks everyone! All valid!

For example I will weigh things or assume by looking it is a half an avocado or a quarter. But since that isn't working, i need to weigh better or start by weighing properly.

Thanks for all the responses guys !! I really appreciate it! Even the harsh ones - its what I need, telling someone to just try and it will come off isnt good enough ! So cheers :) !! I will start to use the scales as my new best friend !!! x

I am but have been on them for years. I managed last year whilst on them :) x I had one doctor telling me that its difficult to lose weight and recommended the 5:2, then I had another doctor telling me to get a grip and eat less than 1500 a day and dont do any weight training until i lose my fat ?? I dont understand…

What I try to do is if I know how much calories my meal has then ill choose whatever meets those calories. So for example the 1 small egg at 180 calories must have been because I had two eggs = 180 calories. Is this a bad idea ? xx

I do running, HIIT workouts, pole dancing, weights. I do take measurements :) I do weigh food or if i know the calories of something ill add in anything that meets the calories of the item of food. xx But I think I could weight better. I never put in the veggies that I eat either since they are not many calories ! Is this…

Thanks :) x

I was going to post about eating less. I put on 6lbs at xmas time. And once i stopped eating crap I lost 3lbs. Now im back on 1600 cal a day and eating good, exersice back to normal but my weight is slowly creeping up rather than down. Im not doing that much weight training for the weight to increase. Im all confused again…

Thanks everyone :) I weighted my self before i left and i was up around 6 lbs ..... Im just going to go with my weight at home - ive only started weighing at the docs in the last month so i wont change what ive not ever done!! Im happy with my changes and its the first time in a while that ive seen the weight loss even…

I can't remember where I read it but I didn't believe it - why would it make any difference right ! Just to say that it wasn't me stating that as a fact I was trying to clarify its truth or not haha :)

:D

Thanks ! I really though that when I read it on another post !!! Sounded bizzar! So eating more than 30g of protein is okay what about eating lots of protein in one day ? Thanks for all the help guys !!!

So ive changed my macros - protein is now 140g (macros are 30/35/35) ?? is this okay - i try not to eat too much fat - ive done a ketosis diet before and hated having to eat lots of fats :/ but i thought eating more protein was good for muscle gain etc.....

Yeah im pretty sure i have muscles (in legs and arms and cant see under my layer of fat on stomach) Yeah i heard ... that you cannot consume more than 30g at a time of protien ?? Im 5ft 6inch and 12 stone 5 lbs. What macros do you have ?? What are your macros then if you eat less protien ? I try to eat more protien and…

Thank you so much :) i will give it my all !!!

So for example one day a week i eat 2000 calories, two days a week 500 calories and the rest 1600 ? :) Ill have a look at the fitness:) thank you

Ive only started and i am hoping it works :( ! How does it work for you ?

what is the difference between fitness goals and nutrition goals? :/

I used to eat 1200 to start off with before my exams and there was no progress there either - i was told i wasnt eating enough :/

Thanks guys !! :happy:

As I have eaten 1200 for 3 weeks.. would this impact on eating 1700 + do you think ? Or do you think my body would appreciate the calories? :ohwell: Also sorry to pry but how have you done so well ie) fitness/calories etc ? Feel free not to answer :smile:

Thank you a lott :smile: Im just getting rather obsessed with eating less i guess :/ but im willing to try anything even if that means eating more !!

So my TDEE is 2514 :/ And if i want to eat 30% under it that is 1760. Is this no a lot of calories to consume ?? I dont think i would eat this on a normal day without dieting :(

Thank you :)

THank you. Yeah I bought a heart rate monitor ages ago :) Should i eat the calories i burn ?? :ohwell:

I do measure everything :(. I feel bad for eating 1400. I also do not really understand this TDEE tbh. Like i said im new to it. :tongue:

Thank you ! :smile:
