Thank you! You're making me feel so much better! lol I'm trying to build up my calories and I'm doing a little better today. I'm at 585 and it's 3:30pm so I still have dinner and a light snack in the evening left.

Exercising makes me feel full during and after for a while, but it might help me overall throughout the day. I'll try it :)

I've only been clean eating for a little over a week.

One cup of Jasmine Rice is 205 calories and I haven't had cashews.

Thanks!

By eating clean I mostly meant eliminating preservatives. That's why I'm okay with tortillas and breads that are made in the grocery store, although, I'd like to move to making them myself, I just decided to take it easy while getting used to all of this. I don't take it as an insult and that might be true. I am in…

I guess what I mean by clean is that there aren't any preservatives.

I haven't even thought about butter... I'll have to look into it. This whole thing has definitely made me more aware of how a lot of stuff is made.

Yeah, I was having a problem with cravings and I don't really crave anything anymore. I am craving cheetos at the moment because I cheated a couple days ago and had a small bag of cheetos that came with a burrito I ate with my husband a couple days before. And I just posted yesterdays intake :)

Not snacking might help, I didn't think about that. Thanks!

Sure, I ended up almost making it to 700 by midnight. I wasn't awake for breakfast. Lunch: Raspberries 60g = 31 Avocado (small organic) = 227 Hard-boiled egg white ( I usually eat the yolk, but wasn't feeling it yesterday) = 17 Dinner: 6-inch flour tortilla = 75 Raspberries 100g = 52 Pollack Fish 4oz = 90 Snacks: Sourdough…

While making my account I kept punching in different usernames and they were all taken. Even "Therearenomoreusernames" was taken. I was getting irritated lol

Thank you! This is very helpful :)

Thanks! I'm like so excited to try it!

BTW, can you tell me how you make your own jerky? I'd love to try that :)

Jerky sounds good :) Isn't that weird though how you can overeat processed garbage and you don't feel satisfied, but when you eat clean you fill up so fast? I've been measuring my portion of rice after it was cooked and a cup of cooked jasmine rice with some fish and a little bit of veggies is like SUPER filling.

THANK YOU!!! I feel like everyone thinks I'm either lying or an idiot. When I ate junk I kept my calories between 1200 and 1400 and I did lose weight, but now it feels like eating healthy means I can't get enough. It might have something to do with the fact that I don't have cravings anymore. When I was eating crap I…

Thanks, I'll try that :)

I have been more tired lately. I don't really know if I'm tired because I'm not eating enough or I'm not eating enough because I'm tired or if there's no correlation.

What do you mean? If I'm scanning the info and measuring in grams, how is that a problem?

I just had some raspberries so I'm at about 550 calories for today. I don't like to be misleading so I thought I'd update it.

You might be right about my medication not lowering my metabolism, but just increasing my appetite. It makes sense. I don't mean to be rude, but everyone who's questioning how accurate my calorie consumption is doesn't know me. I log everything correctly. I know about the difference between raw and cooked and the…

The pills that are supposed to make you not react to dairy don't work for me, but I've been trying to eat coconut milk yogurt. Unfortunately, my grocery store doesn't care too much about specialty foods like that so what's on the shelf has been expired for a month. I'll look into the lactose free protein powders. I didn't…

Yeah, I'm having a hard time getting up to 1200. It just seems like the foods I'm eating now are more filling? I don't even know. I just don't feel hungry. I've been pretty sedentary. I haven't been exercising because of how little calories I've been consuming. I'm going to try adding peanut butter to my diet. I've just…

I haven't. Do you have any recommendations for dairy free protein shakes?

I haven't just started eating 1200 calories, I just started eating clean. And today I'm full at 9pm 500 calories. I measure by weight and log everything correctly and I've been losing like a pound a day. I'm not over eating, I'm under eating and I don't really know what else I can do while still eating clean foods. I knew…

Gave me hives.

I eat one whole hard boiled egg a day and if I have more than that I give the yolk to my dog.

I gain a little before my period and then when it hits I spend two days pretty much not eating anything because the cramps make me feel like I have a stomach ache too and I don't feel like eating. So by the time my period is over I've lost weight.

If you're resistant to anti-depressants you should ask about trying mood stabilizers. It might help.
