Its the 5 pound gain in 3 days, with the exercise and diet that I have outlined. And that was morning weigh ins. This is what has me confused. Daily fluctuations okay. But 5 pounds in 3 days??? I could not lose 5 pounds in 3 days, but how do I gain that much that quick with my current regimen. Someone laying in bed all…

Thank for the posts, especially marilyn and ell. I get it, i have to increase the calories. But, I am beginning to think that I totally screwed up my metabolism. My original plan was to up the calories and carbs when I hit the 200 lb mark goal weight. But this stagnation has messed that plan up. I know I have to increase…

Yes. I have considered adding one additional meal of 300 calories starting next week. And cycling it every other day. But I get so pissed and frustrated when I see my weight bump up by a pound or 2 in a day from eating 100 calories of spaghetti squash. So I back off. This is why I am taking this calorie adding advice with…

Thanks. And I am making an appointment with my Doctor to check my thyroid and metabolism (if possible). Something has to be off. Given my exercise level and caloric intake, something has to be off.

Some real good advice Lets say I followed my current meal plan but added 2 large baked potatos every other day for a week to start out. 1 LBP has 290 cals 64 carbs 8 protein So 2 a day would get me to roughly 1900 calories. would that replenish my glycogen levels??? And if I were to stagger it every other day, it might not…

Thanks!!! What about water intake????

I was eating 3400 calories before. Which is why I was fat in the first place. Okay so lets get real. How do I get another 20lbs off in the next month or so??? What plan would everyone suggest to get me on the right path? Increase/decrease my calories to................ Increase/decrease my workouts to..........…

my TDEE would be 3424 If I shave 20% off that I am at 2739 http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html So you are saying I need to more than double my current caloric intake ??? And another guy says I am NOT at a caloric deficit at 1292 ??? Which way to go??? Yet, when I have added a 100 calorie meal, my…

Okay, so you are saying I need to go below 1292 calories and excercise more? How low do I take the calories down to??? 900 is near starvation mode, and I am assuming I will damage metabolism at the level? Most other posters seem to feel I am eating too little...................

!- I do not feel I am getting defensive. I have listed all of my macros by brand. I just dont want to waste time debating something that is actually accurate. I want to move into the real areas or problems. Yeah, I get it. Most people are off on the macros. That is why I log mine, so its a non issue. I am getting…

I am more than willing to listen to good advice. But posting links that my macros are wrong are off point. Are you referring to a different link??? As far as this link goes. I could take away that I am building more muscle and that is why the scale is not going done, but my measurements are improving. But I still have a…

I am eating at a caloric deficit: Total calories as posted 1292 calories per day BMR= 1864 50 years old, 5'10" 220 pounds http://www.myfitnesspal.com/tools/bmr-calculator Factor in 3 cardio days in which 720 calories (at least, as I have done 3 sessions on occassion but always 2) are burned Factor in 3 weight training days…

So i have been accused of posting "inaccurate numbers" for my macros. I will list my diet below: This was my original post. Some numbers change inconsequentially by brand as I use different grated cheeses and dressings. But no drastic changes. Calories: 1292 grams Carbs: 27 grams Protein: 190 grams Fat: 51 grams Shake Body…

I am not eating "spaghetti meals" high in carbs. I ate Spaghetti Squash on 3 occasions which is low in carbs and calories to test the impact of a moderate caloric increase to my diet. 2 cups of "Spaghetti Squash" has the following macros: (Cal= 100, Carbs=16, Protein=2,Fat=0)

Really? What is not accurate?

It was not boring at all because the weight was flying off and the fact that I could track every macro down to the gram. That way if I needed to adjust and got some solid advice, i could plug the changes into my spreadsheet and then measure the effects on my body. Thanks, could you elaborate on why I should eat back my…

So if I burn 720 calories on cardio day, I should eat 360 calories more??? When I tried that I gained. What would be the science or biology behind eating more to lose weight given my calorie burn and macros???

So the low carb is a problem. What is your suggestion??? As for the walking on cardio days, I do one hour on the Lifecycle, set at 3.7, which is 380 calories. Twice a day is 720 calories. I can give you the distance when I do another one tonite. Never really paid attention to the distance.

I weigh and spreadsheet all of my macros. My numbers posted are 100% accurate. I measure the cups of lettuce, weigh the ounces of chicken, and measure every tablespoon of dressing and grated cheese. The numbers are accurate. There are no hidden calories or carbs. This is why I am eating the same foods, so I know exactly…

I have done that with adding a meal, and it results in a setback. I am pretty analytical and like to approach things from that perspective. And to me the science and numbers tell me that I should not be having this stagnation. It just doesnt add up. I find it hard to believe that my body is creating a metabolic resistance…
