I think I have a problem....

I am only three months out and I am unable to eat poultry most days. It's so bad, I no longer try. I figure I will give it three to six months before trying again as it may be partly mental.

I rarely get in more than 30-50 grams of Protein a day, but I am trying. My goal is to get down a Protein shake or high Protein Bar everyday along with a greek yogurt. I wanted to get my Protein from food by now but it's not working so...

My staples are beef Jerky, eggs, Boar's Head roast beef and cheese, yogurt and OH YEAH bars. I don't love to eat, but I do track everything and make myself follow regular meal times to the best of my ability. I know this no hunger thing is not going to last forever so I want to deelop good habits and routine now.

I don't think you are losing too fast at all. Your weight loss seems to be very normal. Congrats on the success!

sorry you are having this problem, not getting enough calories, Protein, maybe drink too???

doesn't sound like you are having any trouble holding/keeping food down, right???

even if you don't want to eat, lack of desire et al..............you know you must eat more calories for health reasons

gotta "force" yourself for your own good

you should talk to your NUT

Possibly if you reach out to her, explaining your issues - she might be able to help you with your situation

weighing 145 lbs - losing 77 lbs

that looks like a good weight

but i agree that you can't afford to lose too much more weight

good luck

Oh! I throw in a tablespoon of Peanut Butter every once in awhile, too, if I am really low on calories and fat. I do love peanut butter!

My recommendation is to eat on a schedule and towards a specific goal every day. Choose foods that will get you there. Plan out what you will eat the day before. Even if you don't get there, at least you have a plan and goals you are working towards.

Write a letter to yourself. Tell yourself where you would like to be next year. At what weight? Doing what types of activities? How about 5 years from now? Ten years from now? It doesn't have to be long. Just set a timer for 5 minutes and start writing.

The Fage Total Plan yogurt has 190 calories per cup and 18 grams of Protein. Try it in a shake, with a splash of orange juice, a couple of frozen strawberries, a bigger splash of Water and sugar to taste. Early out I had this for Breakfast almost every day. It goes down easy.

For meats later in the day, try lunch meats, which are a bit easier and less dense than chicken breast, pork, or beef.

Here are some food and drink ideas;

Starbucks Tall Latte Coffee: 180 calories, 10 grams Protein

Fage Yogurt shake with two tablespoons of sugar: 300 calories, 18 grams of protein

1/2 C. Dennison Chili Con Carne: 175 calories, 11 grams of protein

1 C. Anderson Split Pea Soup: 140 calories, 9 grams of protein

2 oz. oil packed tuna: 110 calories, 16 grams of protein

Healthier fats:

2 T. Peanut Butter: 188 calories

1/2 avocado (about 3 oz.) 160 calories
