Daily intake

[Melanie Vandergriff 5]

hey guys,

If you have reached your goal weight, what did you normally eat during the day to reach this goal?

I counted calories and could eat 1300-1500 daily depending on my level of activity. I ate what I wanted for the most part, weighed myself once a week, and cut back when the scale showed a gain 2 weeks in a row.

Not counting the first couple months (when I barely ate anything), I was <800 cals a day, and <25g NET carbs a day. I basically only ate non-starchy vegetables and Protein, mostly in the form of grilled chicken breast (or a protein shake)

I didn’t count calories (wasn’t a lot, probably close to @ms.sss’s <800 a day) but was very aware of portion size. I consumed about 1/2 cup of food three times a day. Predominately Protein (about 60g of meat) with a small amount of steamed vegetables ( couple of green Beans, a tablespoon of shredded cabbage or a cauliflower floret). I kept everything very simple. I couldn’t eat a whole egg until I was almost at goal. To up my protein, I would eat a high protein yoghurt or drinking yoghurt most afternoons and a little fruit like watermelon which upped my Fluid intake.
