I looked back several days and you hit your calories every day. Did you set the 1200 or did the system? Medication and certain ailments can make it harder to lose weight. That is a question for your doctor as is your calorie limit/goal.

How long ago did you switch to 0 calorie sweateners and soda? You protein intake is fine. it could be a little higher but shouldn't be the cause of your problem. The daily multi you are taking should be covering any deficiencies you may have in your diet.

I usually hit two 26g protein shots, three 4g glucose tablets and a 12oz gatorade that has 21g of carbs. That is 1/5 of my daily protein intake, and 1/4 of my daily carb intake. EDIT to say that when I am done with my workout, I am usually barely able to drag myself to my car. I eat/drink all this before leaving the…

I will second, third, fourth and fifth SL 5x5. The program does just about everything for you. you just have to go to the gym and put in the work. I started it about 11 weeks ago and I am seeing great results. Just make sure that you are feeding your body properly. Building the muscle will melt the fat but you need…

Ummm, you don't have to have credentials to post personal experience. Here are my "credentials". http://www.jefit.com/forum/showthread.php?10716-Sean-s-SL-5X5-training-log

MFP, Jefit, 100 pushup free. Jefit is what I use to track my weight training.

Just remember that you body needs water to metabolize protein. If you aren't ingesting enough water, it will dehydrate you to metabolize it. I have not found a good correlation between oz of water per gram of protein so just go by urine color. P.S. I take about 50 grams of protein per meal for a total of 250 per day. My…

OK, did a little research. A Salmon pattie consists of three main ingredients. Salmon, Eggs and Bread crumbs. I am no cook so I need some informed opinions. If I use 2 cans of Salmon, 1 egg and 28 grams of bread crumbs would I get a pattie or a mess? The macros would be 20, 15, 50 so that would be pretty close to perfect.…

Great ideas. Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will make a few egg/tuna salad sammies and maybe a batch or two of the salmon patties.

Mustard with egg salad I could do, kinda like a deviled egg salad. Not sure about mustard with tuna though. have to try that one. Both would work great as more glue to hold sammies together.

I assume all of this is mixed together like a chicken salad. Do you put it in/on something or just eat it with a fork?

Love salmon. I could make patties that fill out all my macros and bake them. Awesome idea. Thanks. What do you put in yours?

Awesome idea. I generally try to stay away from soy products but that could also be done with some other protein source to act as the "glue" for my sammies like this.

Never tried Hummus. Is it high protein? I have no aversion to fat, need to fit 20 grams into my lunch. Mayo has been the easiest way to get it into a sandwich and I like mayo. What is Lox? Isn't that pickled ham or something? I guess what I should have asked for was High protein lunch ideas. The reason I was eating the…

No argument there but I am trying to hit 50 grams of protein and 20 of fat. One serving of peanut butter is about 20 grams of fat and only 7 grams of protein. I know, I am odd ball. I am more worried about macros than calories.

I should also mention that my diary is open. Today was a little different because I ran out of cottage cheese but you will get an idea what I am shooting for. The high protein/ moderate fat, carb thing that is making things a little difficult. I have to spread things out evenly or I end of with tuna and egg whites for…

Stuffing a salad into a sandwich wrap is a good idea though.

I would love to do peanut butter but I would max out my fat before I even came close to hitting my protein. Peanut butter tuna sandwiches don't sound too appealing ;) LOL

Tuna salad and egg salad are options. I won't eat stevia and only eat fruit after my workout. I also don't eat salads so nothing to change up. Celery...BLEH! I will do some math on the Tuna and Egg salad sandwiches Not sure how well they would hold together with only 1 serving of Mayo. I have been known to eat tuna plain…

Looks like they were both the same pic

Public. I don't really give a flying fart what other people think about what I eat. However, since I like to give advice on here when people ask for it, I made it public so they can judge for themselves whether or not they should head my advice.

High calorie low carb is going to be the fatty foods like nuts and avocado as mentioned. A handfull of almonds will net you a couple hundred calories and has the "good" fats.

Alligator, shark, squid, buffalo, ostrich, moose, dog food, Cheeto covered in dirt, beef tongue. Weirder than all this was the slices of deep fried lemon that came with an order of calamari. For the record, everything but the Cheeto and the dog food tasted great.

How is it that you managed to get over weight if you have a hard time eating 1200 calories per day? Seriously though, the database may be overestimating your caloric burn. Also, not all dietary fat is bad. You actually need some fat to function properly. My advice is to keep doing what is working for you. Once you hit a…

I think you meant BMR. Body Mass Index has nothing to do with your activity level. If you doctor says that you are over weight tell him to take a hike or use a more accurate measurable like Body fat %. BMI and weight are only half indicators of health. Hell, Arnold Schwartz..... would have been "overweight" in his prime…

Just another sheep doing what is expected of him. You don't honestly think that he has all the power that he is supposed to have do you? The thousands of people that "lie"(sic) just below him have all the power.

I used to think the same thing about English. I speak and write more coherently than most of the people I see posting to message boards but I still couldn't pick anything other than the Noun and Verb out of a sentence. Seriously, Does having fancy names for the parts of speech help you speak/write any better?

Barbell full squats over 180 lbs. Lower than that and I barely notice an increase in HR.

Thanks for the link. I joined the 366 push up group at the beginning of the year and have maxed out at 20 per set. Since I will be doing 366 push ups at the end of the year, I need to make my sets a little bigger so I don't take hours to get them done. I will be using the 100 push up protocol to increase my max reps.
