miangr 11 Posted August 11, 2013 Small rant warning Ugh I've been stalled and im assuming I need to increase my calorie intake because I know it's too low even though I don't fell hungry throughout the day. I don't want my body to stay in starvation mode which is why I feel like in not losing weight. It's hard to increase my calories. Any suggestions for good foods that will help me increase my calorie intake to keep thos weight moving? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NurseGrace 509 Posted August 11, 2013 This is an odd post. How many calories are you eating? you give very little information to go on. Second, starvation mode as most people know it is a complete myth. Chances are you need to cycle your calories a bit, meaning one day you need to eat more of your calories from carbohydrates than usual and see where that gets you.

ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted August 11, 2013 stalled and im assuming I need to increase my calorie intake miangr per your profile - i see you were sleeved June18th your starting weight was 312 you have successfully lost 41 lbs!!!! bringing you to the magic # of 271!!!!! WooHoo WooHoo!!!! party dance party dance Protein bars are yummy, they can have alot of calories, and carbs too on an occassion, having one is terrifice - terrific taste some/many (me) OP try and stay away from Protein Bars cuz they are so good, (kindof like candy bar?? )very addicting some people do adjust their calories when a stall hits - to shake things up a bit "assuming" I need to increase................. hmmmmm - i "assume" LOL you know what happens when you "assume" something??? You make an assssss out of you and me you are only 7 weeks PO discuss with your NUT your situation/concerns she is the only one that OFFICIALLY should direct you to your calorie intake many/most times - you just have to "ride" out a stall some people might change this or that about their daily routine, and the stall breaks but whose to say if these changes helped break the stall or the stall was gonna break on its own coincidentally the same time changes were made???? you are doing great with your weight loss 41 lbs!!!! OMG!!!! keep up the good work kathy congrats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
