MarkLewis 21 Posted January 7, 2019 All, Here is what I ate yesterday: Breakfast: coffee, CarbMaster Peach Cottage cheese Snack: PowerCrunch bar Lunch: Leftover Pot Roast (3 oz) and one small red potato Snack: Two Good low fat, low sugar yogurt Dinner: Leftover bean/beef casserole (1/2 serving) Snack: CarbSmart vanilla Ice Cream Nutrition: 1,188 calories, 85g Protein, 56g Carbs, 17g Fiber, 67g Fat My program has me targeting 1,200 calories per day. I weigh pretty much everything that isn't packaged and track it all in MyFitnessPal. How does this compare to a typical day? I am 8 weeks out and have been on "normal food" for the last 3 weeks. It is sometimes a struggle to get in near 1,200 calories, that is why i spread everything out in 5 "meals". My weight loss has really slowed, but I am doing very well staying in the guidelines so I think it will pick back up. 2 Wanda247 and FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluffyChix 17,415 Posted January 7, 2019 Lotta food/lotta cals for 8 weeks, but that's just my opinion. And don't know what most dudes eat volume-wise at 8 weeks either...or what your nutritional reqs are. Sorry not much help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ALWAYS make my 75 or more of protein. Today looks like about 830 cals, 82 protein, 42 net carbs, 8 fiber, 27 fat. I am losing about .65 pounds per day according to my app. I have not yet stalled, although I'm sure I will. 1 Wanda247 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And don't know what most dudes eat volume-wise at 8 weeks either...or what your nutritional reqs are. Sorry not much help. I feel the same. I am 10 months out and shoot for 11-1200 calories a day. At 8 weeks I was about 650-800 calories a day. I upped my intake at 6 months to the 11-1200 after being cleared to lift weights and start training for a 5K. I talked to my nutritionist who said to up my intake to make up for the amount being burned up while exercising. I exercise daily by walking/jogging for 35 minutes and I strength train every other day. Most days I burn up about 6-700 calories from exercise. I have had very few stalls and they last no more than a week. 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkLewis 21 Posted January 7, 2019 I got cleared to lift weights and go back to regular activities by the end of week 6. I go to the gym 4 times per week (2 weightlifting, 2 spin class). 1 Wanda247 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
