eating habits after reaching goal....Advice Please
SW - 223 CW- 130 GW- 140 Start Sz 18 Current Sz 4 Ht. 5'6"
BA- LBL/TT 11/3/09
During loss I did 3 meals and two protein shakes and averaged 600 - 800 calories. In maintenance I now eat 6 times a day (2 of which are shakes) and am getting in around 1300 calories. I may need to up that a little more.
Other than the extra feeding, I added calories by doing my shakes with milk instead of water and making that sixth feed nuts or nut butters (which are good for you, but being high in good fats are also high in calories). I eat one serving as defined on the packaging, usually an ounce of nuts or 2 T of nut butter.

A gentle blend into Maintanance by adding 100 calories at a time to what your currently doing for WL....
Get your weight to stableize for a couple of months.... Than start getting experimental within changing it up whitin your numbers.
Most find that Maintanance is about 80% of WL

Think of it like learning how to ride a bicycle......
When you reach Maintanance you don't take the training wheels of right away.......
