I don't think you are drinking enough water. 1 liter is only about 32oz. I would definitely increase that.

I think because you ate more calories at breakfast you weren't hungry for a mid morning snack. I usually eat around 400 calories for breakfast with lots of protein and that holds me a good 4 hours, usually until lunch.

I like the Daisy Brand because it has less additives. I get the 2%, I like it with season salt(pampered chef). In the summer I will add chopped vine ripe tomatoes. Super yummy and super protein source.

I wouldn't be ashamed at all! Sounds like you had a great day! If you had a great week, just chalk it up to a one day thing and move on. Start fresh tomorrow.

What are you eating when you are "starving"? That will make a difference to how full you feel. Carbs burn quickly, give quick energy but then are gone and will leave you "starving" again. If you eat meals high in protein and fiber they will help you feel full longer. I would look up some numbers to how many "extra…

Sounds like you need more protein and less sugary foods. Even natural sugars are still sugars! Your diary is private so can't tell much about what you are really eating. I also read your profile and you are looking for more muscle toning, protein will help with that too!

I think patience is the key. I think to expect big changes in 10 days is a lot. Also, when you start a new exercise program you retain more water for up to a week or more. I think most people would agree to wait approx 4 weeks to see changes, then reassess at that time.

On Tuesday your calories were only 829?

I took a look at your food diary. Why aren't you eating the recommended calories for the day? You are eating way less. Unless you are not logging everything, you should be losing as you are at a drastic decrease. But yes, water retention can make a big difference. I weigh myself every Saturday morning right when I get up.…

It changes every day by the different food and exercise that you log. If you go over on calories it will give you less of a loss at the end of the 5 weeks. So one day could say by a certain date 5kg if you eat like this everyday, next day go over and it will say 3kg lost by a certain date.

Once a week, on the same day at the same time. For me that is Saturday morning before other people in the house get up. What are you hoping to accomplish by checking several times a day? Our weight fluctuates all day, (really all the time). Best to take measurements and put the scale away for awhile.

I guess we are saying it can look like like many, many different things. 8oz glass of reduced fat milk = 8 grams of protein egg = 6 grams of protein 6oz chicken breast = approx 50 grams of protein It all "looks" different. So nothing can be a uniform size. I don't think you are stupid. Just needed more info.

Have you been logging your food intake? It will show you total grams of protein per meal/per food after logging. Then it will total it for the day. You can look up the number of grams of protein in just about any food using a Google search. If you want to know how many grams of protein are in 3 oz of chicken/fish/beef,…
