I was wondering if u all could give me examples of your daily food intake and kinds of meals. I've only lost 50 pounds in 7 months. I think I'm eating right it's the same as when I was losing just smaller portions. I eat 900 to 1100 cals a day with 90g Protein and burn 800ish cals aday. I am losing some in inches but only around an inch at three measure points and I'm a guy so I just figured I would have lost more by now. Am I asking to much or am I doing fine. Please respond thanks so much

Sounds like you're doing ALL the right things. I'd suggest that you increase your calorie intake some as your body will go into starvation mode, as a result, you won't lose any weight. Additionally, I'd strongly suggest that you measure yourself. Often times, you reach a plateau and don't see pounds come off, however, inches are dropping.

At one point, I found that I stayed at 170lbs (for over 6 months) and went from a size 12 pant to a size 8 maintaing the same weight. I was losing fat and gaining muscle which I'm told weighs more. Hang in there, sounds like you're definitely on the right track.

I say eat more. With that much exercise your body needs fuel.

I agree... with the high exercise you need more calories going in. If you have a nutritionist check in.

I would check with your dr to see if you should up your calories a bit. You will lose weight at what you are doing but it may be that your body is burning too many to be productive.
