I don't around my period but I can set a clock to the 2lbs I gain at ovulation

losing .5lbs a week is definitely not starving, and adding even more calories would put her at maintenance. I'm confused by your suggestion.

I"m 5'6 @ 155lbs and I eat 1850-2K to lose 1lb/week. I'm pretty active

I definitely think my eating is a bit disordered; not because I track but because I sometimes binge; I think about food too often; a couple of other things I can't recall. Not much I can do about that other than therapy (which I can't afford and it's not affecting my life negatively) I think being aware of your intake,…

Did the participants also lose weight? I know that can reverse type 2

I average about 15K steps/day. I have a desk job but walk to work, walk on lunch and walk after lifting most days

I'm 155 @ 5'6" and I lose 1lb/week on 2K but I also get about 15+K steps in a day and lift 4/week. I don't track here though, I use cronometer so if you're looking to add friends that log here; I'm out haha

I eat most of my food after 7. At about 11pm I have 2 soft boiled eggs on buttered toast. Eat when it suits you while respecting your caloric goal.

I walk to work and I live in Ontario, does that count? lol

It's great that you are accidentally creating a deficit but your macro split or meal timing doesn't have anything to do with your success. Are you tracking? or just avoiding carbs and fasting?

For example, this is the nutritional data of a Big Mac lol

This is why I started logging in Cronometer in November. Much cleaner database and it tracks micros based on USDA data

I recently got into it with someone about a Big Mac being a health food (I believe it *can* be) The thing about the popular demonizing of certain foods as healthy or unhealthy is that any food is unhealthy and any food can be healthy; IN THE CONTEXT OF YOUR OVERALL DIET. You can't single out a Big Mac as being unhealthy…

Starvation mode (for anyone with bodyfat) is a myth. You *think* you are eating 900/day but your body is keeping a more accurate journal for you. Weigh your food and x-ref USDA entries to ensure you're logging correctly. Also it's unnecessary to eat that few calories in your situation; but it's been established that you…

I'm 5 years deep, a 15lb slide, and a lot of exhaustion in too. Could have written this myself. No advice but I feel ya xx

It *is* a vegetable but I use it interchangeably with bread/rice/pasta. If I'm making a meal of meat, green beans and potatoes I consider that my starchy carb that just so happens to be another vegetable. I meal prep on Sundays and I remember a FB group ripping me apart for having ONLY potatoes and sloppy joes for lunch…

As long as the person didn't totally disregard fitness/nutrition I wouldn't mind if they didn't train etc. I lucked out, met my bf in a FB lifting group and imported him to Ontario from Quebec 2 years ago lol

I have a cup of sushi rice cooked with sugar and rice vinegar a few times a week, it's delicious and filling! I do more often than not try and reach for potatoes because they have a lot of potassium and I find if I use up a lot of my carbs on rice I won't get the RDA but rice is absolutely fine.

I would say that's active to very active. I have a desk job but I'm very active as I walk to and from work, lift and do extra cardio. I get about 15K daily steps and at 5"6" @ 155lbs my (observed) tdee is about 2500

I'm not sure if it would take more energy to keep your body cool in a hot one vs warm in a cold. I think a 10 minute walk to your mailbox might be better personally lol

Mine is synched with my cronometer which has an option for "in a coma" vs sedentary so I eat back every last one; no issues lol

I'm in Canada and my go-to's are Wendy's, Subway, Panera, Swiss Chalet (kinda fastish food) but I can usually make anything work. By far Wendy's is my fave; they have amazing options. Chili, chicken grill, their salads are 11/10 <3

2-3 years IIFYM; lots of Big Macs and Dominos but mostly whole foods Started with SL 5x5 and moved to PHUL, daily steps 12-15K/2K calories on a cut

Cant think of one. I definitely have a lot less of them or less frequently but I would rather be fat than give up foods I enjoy; I'm glad I don't have to choose

just read the other replies, sorry to beat a dead horse on the potatoes but I really love love love them for the potassium alone haha

White potatoes are one of the healthiest carbs I eat. Do you know how much potassium, magnesium, manganese, copper and zinc are in 200g of potatoes which is only 158 cals?!

As long as you're getting min. fats who cares if you're over? I get 120g protein and carbs are anywhere between 170-200g whereas fats are consistently at 70. Could I eat less? Sure. Do I want to? Nope. The foods that I prefer to eat have me naturally fall here so why fix what isn't broke? ETA: Provided it still works with…

Absolutely agree. When I gained back 15lbs over the last 2 years I didn't curse my metabolism, my genes or my lack of secret nutritional knowledge. It was 100% my personal responsibility and I was and always am in control.
