I have no problem having low calorie snacks - but in the instance of tonight, I don't have the calories for anything. I currently don't exercise at all, so that would definitely help. :)

That's awesome!! :) I used to not be hungry at bedtime when I first started, but in the last few weeks that has changed. I just can't seem to stay satisfied. Now, in that same time frame I have started a new job which involves more time on my feet - more hunger and suddenly my weight that had plateaued for all of April…

I can say that part of my issue is I am never prepared. I feel that most of what I eat now takes much more time to cook and prepare than what I used to eat. I can't just run to the store next to my work and grab a salad for lunch - because that salad has chips in it, or I can't measure how much meat or cheese is in it to…

Oh, I know it doesn't happen by magic, LOL, that is why I am sitting here on MFP not eating, but feeling grumpy that I can't. lol As for lifting, I see so many here that lift and I would like to try it - but its the matter of finding the time and money for the gym. I've been attempting to do some body weight exercises but…

I don't think I am too strict, I definitely enjoy different foods (I had a "good" coffee today with sugar and milk, and a cookie). I probably do have issue with spreading my calories out during the day - I'm almost afraid to use too many for breakfast, lunch, and snacks and then I feel like I have to eat more than I would…

Its 1750, and from what I understand that number will only go down as I lose weight. It's certainly not a horrible number, and I do still get to enjoy some treats. BUT, sometimes I would like the option to not have to worry about having more. Like right now, I would love a snack (as I watch hubby eat potato chips), but I…

and so could I if I had a daily calorie goal like yours, lol. I only get to eat a little over half that.

I weigh everyday. I use a weight tracker app that takes my daily readings and gives me an average. I love weighing every day. I think I would have more potential to be disappointed if I only weighed once a week. If I happened to catch a higher weight day I may get discouraged that a week didn't give me results. Weighing…

I am 5'3 and currently 202 lbs. My goal is 1760 calories daily, and I eat back about half my exercise calories. I don't exercise too often other than what walking I do at work. I was stalled for a good month, but then started actually weighing my food and added in some more carbs (I had been doing low carb) and after a…

The nutritional information is reliable - it is the way of measuring that isn't always consistent. "3/4 cup" of solid food may weigh 80g, or 100g (as examples) depending on just how full or exact that 3/4 cup is. You could fit many more strawberries in a cup if they are diced, as compared to whole berries. It is much more…

From what I understand, no loss after one week is not a big deal at all. You could be retaining water, maybe you ate a big lunch. Sometimes our weight remains the same for weeks at a time while we lose inches. Give it some time, you will see some results soon. Also a thought - weigh first thing in the morning after using…

Why do you have to wait to be under 200 lbs to celebrate? You've lost 121 lbs - if that isn't reason to celebrate I don't know what is!! Congrats on the awesome weight loss!!

I thought I was supposed to weigh everything, and not use generics like 1 egg is 6 g.?

So what do you do with a protein powder? I've never used it before. I know I've read people do smoothies? But what else can you put it in? I guess sprinkled on other food?

That gives me 40 g per meal, approximately. So my 100 grams of scrambled egg (3 eggs) gave me 11 protein. So I would need to eat a dozen eggs for breakfast?? I know that's not really a realistic meal, lol, but it just seems way to much?

I'm supposed to hit 131 according to Mfp, so I'm guessing protein powder or shakes would be essential?

I took a look at that, thanks. :) my macros say 130g, so I guess I just have to eat 6-7 major sources a day. That seems like a lot. PP suggested cheese sticks, I would have to eat like 20 of them, lol

My target is 1750, this is what Mfp has given me, and what sites like the scooby one suggest.

I am nowhere near my macro targets. Percentage wise, yes. But gram wise? Not even close. I have no idea how to eat to get them besides eating wayyy more meat and adding more fat. Which would then mean I would have no calories left for the things I like, as you suggest. And I do hear you on the binging, that is why I am…

I hear you on what the taste buds like! Lol!! I am hoping to get better at moderation of those things, and right now the difficulty is making sure my options are healthier And just adding a few treats, not the other way around! Lol! I do sometimes eat snacks, my work schedule did not allow it today. Sometimes it will allow…

I know I am low on protein. Honestly I am not sure how to add it besides snacks of meat. I mean, I ate servings of protein/meat at all three meals and am still only half way there.

I'm sorry, this may be my error. How I eat is what I call clean. Basic foods and ingredients. No frankenfoods. Yes many items have a brand name, but sour cream is sour cream - it is pretty basic. *edited my original post to take out the confusing "clean"

I started out on a very low carb diet - no more than 20 carbs a day, no grains, no sugars, etc. It worked for a while but I was rather miserable and did not get the results I wanted - so u have officially switched plans as of today. I love that bit about "fun" calories, but if I look at my numbers I am nowhere near full on…

Putting in the disclaimer "don't take it personal but..." pretty much insures that it is a personal remark.... If you had taken the time to read through the thread before replying you would have seen where I mentioned that I have been eating like crap the last few days, that I watched calories and nothing else for the…

I didn't say BPC wasn't an adequate breakfast, and I'm sure it is for many, but it wasn't for me since I needed more fat. If I just did the BPC and did not eat my eggs with cream, cheese and butter - I would have still been low on fats. As for what I am doing now, this weekend I did try to watch calories, but I didn't…

I'm not sure whose diary you are referring to, but it certainly is not mine. You will not find any pop at all in it, or bread pudding.... (although this weekend I did indulge in desserts, lol)

I don't know if I was eating enough, really, how can you tell if you are metabolic hibernation, ya know? I didn't always eat within 30 minutes of waking, since there wasn't time, usually it was within an hour to 1.5 hours so that I had time to cook something. I did eat some pepperoni sticks, but they were gluten free, no…

If I take off my shirt, put on my sunglasses, and pose in front of a rock, no one will ever know I am actually surrounded by snow up in Canada...

No one will ever guess what I am thinking, so I'll just write it on my profile pic...

Great sense of humour
