If you have a problem with eating large portion sizes, blend things into a smoothie eg nuts, seeds, oils etc Eat full fat products. Is this because you are recovering from an ED or because you are trying to bulk?

Eat at a surplus. Just do a web search for calorie dense foods, preferable nutrient dense. eg.http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/highest-calorie-foods.php

Dear Gawd!! that camel toe, my eyes! where's the Brillo and Ajax?

If spot reduction through exercise were possible, fat people would have a skinny face from all that chewing.

First off it is best to set up your calorie allotment and macro goals optimally... http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/819055/setting-your-calorie-and-macro-targets/p1 It is also an issue of figuring out what foods are nutritionally dense and have a high level of satiety. Satiety is the feeling of fullness…

I should have been more careful with my wording, maybe "BF% accurately measured" sounded too precise. I am not suggesting the OP has to go to extremes such as Hydrostatic Weighing, DEXA Scan etc I am merely suggesting something as simple as Skin Fold Caliper test (Calipers retail for about $10) and instructions are easily…

Also here is an award for this thread...

The rate of loss maybe affected but if someone is at a true calorie deficit they will always lose weight over a period of time, simply put you can not make something out of nothing.

@isulo_kura I stand corrected and nice use of the analogy of the wheel comparison. TBH this was not the correct thread for me to convey my feelings about the overuse of the BMI system it was totally out of context with the OP's situation. I do still feel that the OP should get her BF% accurately measured so she can figure…

Besides the aforementioned suspects "Easter dinner? Excess sodium? TOM?" water retention etc firstly weight loss is not linear, you will often see spikes and drops in weight for no apparent reason. I looked over your diary and the problem could be you are not accurately measuring your food, as there are a lot of generic…

I only brought it up as there was a BMI calculator posted in one of the replies. I also said that it does serve a purpose for the obese... But I do agree with you. Most calculators online use height, weight sex and age for figuring out calorie allowances but for optimal macro distribution it would be a good idea for the OP…

FYI: The BMI method is an antiquated method of of calculation. The BMI was introduced in the early 19th century by a Belgian named Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet. He was a mathematician, not a physician. He produced the formula to give a quick and easy way to measure the degree of obesity of the general population to…

* If eating more frequently makes it easier to control/reduce calories, it will help you to lose weight/fat. * If eating more frequently makes it harder to control/reduce calories, or makes you eat more, you will gain weight. * If eating less frequently makes it harder for you to control/reduce calories (because you get…

General recommendations for weekly weight loss goals should be based on a number of factors, the main one of which is how much weight you have to lose. The more weight that you have to lose the less severe the negative impact of being at a calorie deficit will have generally (see below for examples). As a rule of thumb, we…

Um I seem to remember distinctly going out of my way to give you said "knowledge on their personal experiences"... http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10128206/the-rapid-pulse/p2 You failed to mention that or the fact I tried to be "POSITIVE" as you had already stated the "Negativity" was not to your liking.…

*nods* true dat!

I also like pudding which reminds me to place this link here as well... http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/817188/iifym/p1

Look OP if you're serious about losing weight and getting into shape I will try to play nice and give you links to tried and true methods for not only reaching your goals but also to maintain them. I will endeavor to be encouraging as you seem to respond to positive reinforcement as you perceive it. Firstly this link is…

Well I believe a lot of the people that are trying to steer you away from fad dieting know a lot about nutrition, my above reply will attest to the factual nature of fads and quick fixes. Also humor is often used on the forums as laughter is good for the soul and well it would be pretty bland on the forums if humor was not…

A LOT of diet books; too many frankly. Most follow a fairly standard organization, with very very few exceptions, most will tell you that ‘calorie restricted diets don’t work for weight loss’ and that whatever magic they are selling is the key to quick, easy (and of course permanent) weight loss. Whether it’s insulin,…

Firstly your dietary preference does not exclude you from the laws of thermodynamics. A calorie deficit is required for weight loss to happen. So I would venture especially since you have stated you consume only 1300cals daily you are severely underestimating your calorie intake and most likely overestimating your calorie…

Blade runner (Great movie) FYI: A sequel is being made. "There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."

Damn you went through all that effort and you went with a 14.1" Sony VAIO.!?! I think you better start all over again.

That's a shame as there is a wealth of information and support on here not unlike RL. You wouldn't stop leaving the house or meeting new people just because of a bad experience in life would you? There are a lot of knowledgeable people on here who are willing to provide free advice, support etc read this link below for an…

Agreed!

I believe there is no harm in the OP from learning from first hand experience, sometimes borrowed knowledge just isn't satisfying enough.

@ PU_239 Well sir you are the go to guy for bad science! I doubt the OP will be half as arrogant or grandstanding as yourself conducting her experiment. But I'm with EvgeniZyntx on this one, go for it OP. Take into considerations the advice you have been given.
