I don't think so, it's your daily amount that matters. I've eaten 15oz worth of meatballs in one meal.

It's something that worries me too. I've always had great skin. Nice and smooth and even, and most people don't believe I'm 40. I noticed the other night I have fine wrinkles above my knees, and my belly is saggy now. I'm terrified I'm going to end up looking like a giant scr0tum and age 15 years overnight.

I wish I'd done this. It might help me get my head around the fact I've actually lost weight. All I see is my flabby belly and squishy bits, not how much less of them there are. I pathalogically avoided photos when I was at my biggest, and only have one or two shots of my face, and a couple in a dark coloured dress where…

Be prepared for the mental game. I've lost 60lbs in 6 months, however there was a 5 week stretch where I lost and gained the same lb over and over. It can eat at your confidence, make you yell and cry and ask if it's all worth it. As you lose weight you struggle with "I don't feel like I've lost weight" and some vague form…

lol ... healthy cereal lol ... "dieting"

Counting and weighing and recording and making sure the numbers add up, and having to be in control of and think about every single little thing that goes into your mouth to me is obsessive, and unhealthy. Spending so much time thinking about food, and being afraid that if you have even one day over your "allowance" it…

You're only a little under though. MFP recommends some 500 calories under. IMO that's way too much.
-
A triple cheeseburger or a double quarter pounder with cheese and bacon, no sauce or onion, and of course throw the bun in the bin. I have that often.
-
Doesn't change the fact that 1200 cals a day is a stupid recommendation for someone who's 5'9" and 214lbs. To lose just over a lb a week. I'll stick to my 1700 cals and 10lb a month loss, thank you.

OP low carbers do not in fact usually use the "diet" versions of things. Usually, they will use the regular full fat version, as fat is a welcome addition to our diets. You can't eat low carb and low fat. Low carb doesn't = low cal. Often the "diet" versions of things might have less fat, but more sugar to make up the…

Uh huh ... put things in your diary accurately ... got it. I love the way you reiterated your point just in case people didn't understand that cream does in fact have calories. Thank goodness for you.

I feel nauseous when I'm hungry too. And light headed, and find it difficult to focus. My hands shake. Thankfully I haven't been hungry in 6 months, and I've lost 60lbs.
-
To answer your question, I've been Keto for 6 months, and I don't overly worry about ratios of protein/fat too much, but I keep my carbs to 20g or less. I will say try and eat your calories, not hard to add some mayo, or butter, or bacon to up your calories quite alot. It's easy to undereat due to not being hungry but it's…

^ this If only life was that simple :P

No tipping in Australia either. People get an appropriate wage for the work they do. Their families well-being is not reliant of the generosity and mood of their "customers" on any given day. We also have great healthcare, and we don't leave guns laying around the house so our teenagers can have a bad day and go shoot all…

MFP calculations are RUBBISH. I just went to my "goals" section for fun and asked them to do a guided recommendation. It told me to eat 1200 cals a day, to give me a 0.8kg a week loss (just over a pound). My BMR (as calculated on this site) is 1698. You're not supposed to eat below your BMR for many reasons. I have my…

Honey I've lost almost 60lbs and other than a flatter stomach I don't feel any different. Some of my clothes are too big, but some of them fit still. The dress I'm wearing today for example, I wore at my biggest, and it's not lose on me now. I don't understand it.
-
One of my friends is 6'5" and 149lbs. He can't gain weight. He eats lollies and chips and drinks coke all day, and his meals are so huge they're bulging off a dinner plate (I know what he eats I lived with him for 18 months). I worked it out one day just for lols and he would consume 4000 cals a day, most days. He also has…
-
Um ... lol. Aren't those things fast food too? Or at least junk food, which (IMO) is the same thing. I do agree we could do better if we went back to 200 years ago when all you got pretty much was real food, meat, vegetables, fruit. If food back then had labels they wouldn't have 57 ingredients listed - half of which you…

HWC is not bad for you. Saturated fat is GOOD for you. I drink about 5 or 6 coffees a day with a tablespoon of cream in each one. Sometimes a tablespoon of butter as well. I've lost 60lbs.
-
Lol flagged :) Seriously, if you're explaining something to someone who clearly wants to learn, why just throw out abbreviations and pop terms without being clear what it means. I've been on a diet for 20 years and even I had to look up TDEE.
-
I'm 40. I have 4 teenagers, a partner and a full time job. My partner constantly eats lollies, and his two girls are the most fussy difficult rubbish eating creatures who ever walked the planet. My fridge and cupboards are FULL of crap I didn't buy. My story ... For the last 20 years I've been trying to cut calories, eat…
-
Something happened to me when I started eating low carb. My partner is constantly eating chips, lollies, nuts etc. Like every night. The drawers in the loungeroom coffee table have a huge stash. I don't even think about it, nor am I tempted. Not once in 6 months. And I was a binge eater completely controlled by food for…

Three days and you've talked about marriage and kids and the future? You need to slow down. I have no problem with the age difference, when I was 26 I dated a 40yo, and I've also dated a guy 8 years younger than me (rawr ;) ). BUT seriously, they all SEEM nice when you first meet them, takes a long time to really find out…

Not unless you click each one of your replies and see if they're flagged. I wouldn't worry about it, just petty time wasters. I've been flagged for abuse 8 times and I haven't abused anyone, not even a little. It's just spite flagging because you don't share their opinions.
-
Yep because if he doesn't know what deficit means he's definitely going to know what TDEE means.
-
I love all cheese. Being low carb, it's not a sin, I eat it without guilt or fuss. Mersey Valley is really nice (crumbly and strong in flavour) and I really like round slices of Provalone for making low carb taco shells.
-
I don't eat diet food. And I don't run a restaurant. I have a full time job and no interest in spending all night in the kitchen. My partner is a legend, and while he was raised meat and potatoes by his mum he will happily eat whatever I cook. I'm low carb so this is usually a good cut of meat, and some vegetables. Or…
-
Why only 1200 to 1400 cals if you have so much to lose? I went through a period where I stalled for weeks, and I kept cutting my cals and cutting my cals til I was eating about 1000 cals a day, and no loss. It wasn't until I tried eating the full 1700 recommended for my height/age/weight that the scales started moving…

You do realise that a silly question (am I gaining weight because of the climate) does not warrant a sensible and factually correct answer, right?
