It's too little info to determine if it's good or bad. Are you getting enough nutrition with those calories? Are you hungry? Are you able to maintain that calorie level? How heavy are you and where are you trying to get? Is this just a today thing and you're trying to brag about a low number (my wife just had gastric…

That actually is not necessarily true, depending on where your tuna is sourced from. I'm on the West Coast of the USA, and thanks to China our tuna is all tainted with mercury due to coal pollution. My wife used to eat a can a day until her hair started falling out. Now she only eats a can a week max.

Those are all perfectly valid reasons to want to lose weight too, just so long as you're doing it for you and not to make a doctor happy about some magic number that may or may not actually matter for you in the grand scheme of things.

If you get back on the wagon it's probable that you'll dump those 4 pounds in a week or two. My wife gained five pounds on a week long cruise and lost it all in 5 days.

I'm currently doing a 1200 calorie a day diet myself. My wife did 900 calories a day. It looks like your carbs are way too high and your protein is way too low, at least the way your dietician set you up, which is going to set you up to fail. Protein and fat makes you feel full, feeling full helps keep you on the diet.…

I eat chicken. A lot of Chicken. It is 50% or better of my daily calorie count. I smoke it in batches twice a week, then eat about 18 ounces a day. Great choice for the caloric load. But I also eat the same thing every day for weeks at a time, and most people can't seem to handle that.

- Take smaller bites - chew each bite 30 times (or as much as you can) - eat the protein first - do not mindlessly eat in front of the TV or the computer. Those are the big steps to take, I currently weigh around 275 (and have lost over 50 pounds) and eat between 1000-1250 calories a day, and I exercise, so it is possible.…

Find a way to get him to make subtle changes, try to convince him to increase his awareness. Him asking for help IS a good first step. Log what he eats, or get him to log it (and hopefully he won't start sneaking food), then show him his calorie intake and say, y'know, keep eating it, just instead of having 12 jallepeno…

This is actually a really big problem that people in the bariatric community have noticed (Personal note: I was thinking about bariatric surgery, but never went through with it, but still go to the support groups for it with my wife). A lot of people who change their lifestyles to be more healthy will notice that it tends…

I kicked soda about... 4 months ago now. My path was as follows, I dropped all soda with HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup), Pepsi makes a throwback variant of several types, they used to do Dr. Pepper but stopped. I noticed that the real sugar was more satiating to me, and thus I went from a 4-6 can a day habit to 1-2 a day.…
