Managed to eat over my bmr today. Ended up being about 1900 calories.
I am up 1kg today, probably just Tom bloating - I hope! Hope everyone has a good day today! |

Got my food fixed for the day...
With a hot slosh to break my fast early today, I was not hungry but I went out to fix food at noon, just to make sure I got some food set up for today. Looks like yummy leftover roast beast and a green salad for lunch, with mayo for fat. Also fixed a can of tuna in olive oil, with onion and a heap of shaved celery for crunch. Got to figure amounts and load it into FitDay.
I think I'm set for a full BMR:2423 - and what a relief that is! I'm a little shy of my 150g Protein target, with just 114g showing, but I can add a can of sardines, for 26g protein. Quote:

Lots of room for improvement...
As I trot out my FitDay list of foods and measures, I can see a LOT of room for improvement. I am using an ordinary spoon to measure "Tbs" of heaped VCO and mayo and espresso/cacao. It's just easier than using a measuring spoon.
I think I'm going to drop back to one scoop of WPP for 20g protein, now that I can see that my protein needs of 150g daily can be met in other ways. That will drop calories and carbs a bit, which is all right. Got to recompute this at FitDay, when I am up to doing the math. Estimating olive oil that is packed in with my tuna and sardines adds an item to my list of foods, as I think that the olive oil is not counted or accounted for in the nutrition labels on my cans of tuna/sardines. So I add olive oil to my list. I'm also planning that a full can is a serving, most times. Not always. So this plan will take some refining, as I learn more about using FitDay, but what I am doing is a vast improvement on anything I've done before this. I like having an assurance that I am meeting my body's BMR/protein needs. It comforts me. That comfort is priceless. I've been doing LC blindly so far. If tallying all this results in a real weight loss, I'll be pluperfectly happy! We shall see. Maybe not in Saturday's weight results, but by next week surely. If not, aghhhhh!

mmmmmm.... roast beast mayo and salad! One of my all time faves! Luv Roast Beast!
Good job on your BMR muffles. Upweight probably due to TOM. I stay off the scales til the day after its over. too depressing! Laura, I can't even DO nuts because I go nuttasticallynuttyoverindulgy on them every time so don't beat yourself up for having a few extra. I can eat pounds of em. I'm at 1000 once I finish my lunch. Its 100 degrees here in San Jose today so I'm going to have an ice cold root beer EC on the patio after work. Can't wait!

I don't know kg/lb conversion, but be patient, you may gain at first until the body realizes what's gonig on. I gained 4lbs an it took one more month until it started really chugging along.

![]() I am still weighing in at 179.8 this morning....every day this week, it's ok but I normally see some change from day to day on the scale either up or down even if it's just .1 ![]() I got up early this morning and walked 1.6 miles then this afternoon I walked another mile. I am hoping some exercise even if not intense will help get the scale moving again. Here are todays numbers...... Total: 1785 Fat: 129 1162 66% Carbs: 46 154 9% Fiber: 8 0 0% Protein: 109 436 25%

Way too much time on my hands!

Hi, y'all!
Looks like I ate about 1900 calories today but I still need to eat more protein. How much protein do I need if I eat 3 meals a day? Do I have to eat 6 smaller meals instead with a heavy reliance on protein? I can add my protein shakes in between. 24 grams per serving. |

Finally the scale moved!! Today it read 179.0....not my lowest which was 177but I'll take it.
TOM is still here so maybe once that leaves the scale will move again. I didn't get up and walk this morning but DH doesn't work today so I should be able to squeeze in my exercise sometime this afternoon. As far as figuring out time to workout we just found out that DH is moving to day shift, strictly m-f starting the week of 5/25 so that will help out a lot! I will be able to work out in the evenings now instead of trying to do it at 5:30am, which is so hard for me to do. Hope everyone has a great day, I'll check in later. ![]() |

Ilpirata, is right I am on way too many cal for a fat fast. I just need to do atkins to BMR. I did get some more veggies yesterday. I just needed yalls permission. Will someone tell me what you think my numbers should be. I am so lost! Like give me the percentages and stuff, so I can try to meat them. I'm 5'6" 161lbs and exercise most days of the week. ( i use moderate activity just to be on the safe side, but I could really use the very active, because I never stop, that's what everyone always tells me, so it's not just my opinion =) Thanks for da luv!!! |

Laura,
You and me both on the floating around with the weight! Its actually sorta stopped since I started this BMR thing... but like you've said its the overall trend thats important right! Also for you you are constantly building SO MUCH muscle. You must be losing inches like crazy! Lora, Good job to you yesterday! You got right up close to your BMR. What did your protein number turn out to be? I eat like 120 g of protein a day but I'm much larger than you are... I don't know if there's an equation to figure that out or what. Holly, you're doing great! Personally I only get my TOM like once a year (I'm on depo and go off of it every 12 months) last time it happened I went up a few pounds during and then saw a super super low number like the day after it ended. It was more like a glimpse actually. So yeah I think you're certainly in for a scale reward after it wraps up. Good job on the excercise too! I struggle with that. What shift was your DH working before? Thats so cool he'll be back on a regular schedule which probably works so much better with yours. Neena, We've actually been trying to get a concrete answer on the percentages but for Atkins I think they are generally around 65-70% fat, 25-30% protein, 5% carbs. Hopefully you can get your online program to cooperate and check out your daily totals and percents. I don't blame you for staying off the scale today. If I'm not feeling skinny for whatever reason I don't get on the thing! Today I'm going to try to actually drink all of my water. Its another 100 degree scorcher here in san jose. |

My Menu and totals for yesterday:
B: Chai tea w/ 1 fl oz heavy cream, 1 tbs CO Sn: 1/3 cup string beans w/ 2 tbs blue cheese dressing L: 1 6oz can of tuna, 3 TBS mayo, 1/4 celery, 1 C lettuce sn: EC made with 1 egg, 1 tbs CO, 1 fl oz heavy cream & diet root beer (splenda) sn: 1 slice cheddar cheese sn: 1 meatball (My grandma made them and I decided to eat ONE) D: 1.5 cups cooked shrimp, 3/4 cup string beans, 3 tbs melted butter, sprinkle of salt (THIS WAS DELICIOUS!!!!! I buy the bags of pre cooked shrimp from TJs so this was really easy to make without heating up the kitchen using the stove) TOTALS: Total: cals-2140 Fat: grams fat-170 cals from fat-1528 fat percent-72% Sat: 84 757 36% Poly: 32 292 14% Mono: 42 380 18% Carbs: grams-20 cals from-58 percent-3% Fiber: 5 0 0% Protein: grams-136 cals from-543 percent-26% I'm still not getting up to the full 25 grams (5%) veggie carbs I'd like to eat in the day. I'm thinking I need to get some veggies in in the morning. Maybe I will start making a veggie omelette with zuccini or some other lc veg in the am to try to get that total right. I like to always eat my veg with protein and fat for blood sugar protection reasons. Other than that I'm very happy with yesterdays numbers. This weekend will be the first weekend eating to BMR. Should be NO PROBLEM since I tend to eat more the more I'm at home lol. Hope everyone has a great healthy skinny BMR day today! Last edited by Ilpirata; 05-16-2008 at 09:34 AM.. |

Personally, these are the macros that I aim for each day:
(BUT it is contingent upon your own BMR/BMI/LBM, etc) 1600-1800 calories (never below 1200; never above 2200) 50-60% fat 35-45% protein (I use PP to help me get to at least 125g per day) 5% carbs (I aim for 20-30 carbs max) 15-30g fiber per day (but I can't seem to get above 15 usually!) have you been to the Keto thread yet?? go there and explain your situation and ask btinc for HELP. if anyone can help you bust thru your WL plateau - he can! ![]() ask him to suggest more specific, personal macros for you. btw: I found out yesterday that this is WRONG: I read on the Ketogenic thread that as long as you're under 100g of Carbs per day, you're in Ketosis. here's what I was told in response to my query: The genetically gifted maybe - but even them for the most part - No. Some people can do it with 50 - but to ensure it - the normal level is 20 or less.

Still working with nitty-gritty of nutrition in Hot Slosh
Lots of great info at this thread. I'm busy working at collecting basic data for my morning mixture: Hot Slosh (WPP+espresso+cacao+VCO) to see what I'm fueling up with as a starter each morning.
Getting more accurate with nutritional values at FitDay beats the fuzzy data I've been using as a guestimate: Quote:
Daily Targets: BMR:2423cals / 150g Protein / 128oz water Atkins' ratios: 75%Fat / 20%Protein / 5%Carbs (vegies mostly) Last edited by Zer; 05-16-2008 at 10:52 AM.. |

Tracking my intake at FitDay...
As I gird my loins to face dinner - not sure what's on the menu - I am running a tally at FitDay to see how I'm doing so far:
Quote:
Atkins ratios: 75%Fat / 20%Protein / 5%Carb (mostly vegies) Still a couple of hours 'til dinner, so I suppose I could add a tin of sardines to get my protein grams up. But I am so very NOT HUNGRY at this moment. I think I'll just relax and see what dinner offers in the way of protein for me. With 700calories yet to go, I think I'll manage to get my full BMR into me. Golly, this feels so much better than blundering blindly, not knowing for sure if I am using the right fuel in the right amounts. I am hopeful that this wknd will be truly profitable as I work with eggs and fish to fuel up my metabolism. |

Not bad. Not quite my target grams or percentages, but I ate my BMR, near as I can figure a chili relleno casserole that had chilis, eggs, cheese cooked in a dish (not fried).

5/16 271.2 (-.6 since yesterday) Again, general trend. Anyone who maintains on this OR gains first few weeks, be patient. Remember the big picture. The floating and/or ups or downs can confuse you. The truth is, however, if you look at a month long picture, you should see things actually moved. On 4/19 I was 277, so in one month, almost 6lbs. Yes, I hit 270 on Sunday, (and claimed my -50lbs). It's there. Just remember, weight loss is NOT linear when you look at the day to day! Off to the gym to get cardio in. Have a luncheon this afternoon. Hope to stay on target w/Atkins.

Way too much time on my hands!

Quote:
"If you are eating a low-carb or no carb diet, this is a sure way to deplete muscle fast or cause some muscle wasting when you're training hard and/or over-training. Cutting out carbs in your diet does two things. 1) not allow the body to release insulin effectively to support muscle recovery; and 2) depletes glucose levels in the muscles to a point where you feel flat, smaller and weaker." I know we aren't all body builders but I found an interesting equation from the May Issue of Muscle and Body. Lets use me as an example if I ate no carbs: 135lbs x 1.5 g protein = 202.5 g a day x 4 calories = 810 Calories 135lbs. x 0.5 g fat = 67.5 g a day x 9 calories = 607.5 Calories My total = 1,417.5!!!! ![]() It is no wonder I've not been able to lose any more fat and my muscles seem very weak lately. I'm not eating enough, duh! How many people have told me this in here? ![]() Also, I got a wonderful email from my nutritionist who evaluated my food plan today and she said eat more vegetables (Think of Elaine in Seinfeld and order or make at home the BIG SALAD!) and increase my whole food protein to 6 to 8oz. per serving. which can include vegetables and meat or just meat.) Stay away from Boca burgers, too. ![]() Also, I need to drink the protein shakes first thing in the morning, post workout, and before bed because whole foods take longer to digest than in liquid form. I want my muscles to recover. I used to feel exhausted when I'd train with my trainer. He told me and I never listened because I was counting calories and felt guilty if I ate too much! ![]() SO! The bottom line is to eat between 1,800-2,025 calories a day depending on my fitness routine for the day. Here is a list of the required supplements: Multi-Vitamin for Women (Once daily) Vitamins C 1,000 once daily and Vitamin E twice daily at 400 IU Evening Primrose 500 mg twice daily Flax Oil 1,000 mg once daily Fish Oil 500 mg. twice daily Potassium 500 mg. once daily I can take Garden of Life's Fucothin 3 tabs/3 times daily with meals if I choose. It helps burn fat naturally without jitters.

409.6 (up 9oz from last week's 409#)...but still eating to BMR:2423cals
Now that I'm pinning down actual calories with FitDay, I can see why I am not losing. Hopefully I shall profit from the work of entering data into FitDay. Yay!
