Da*n calories

I always thought the math was off, but that is what I was told by my nut.  I'm meeting with her next month.  I agree with you.  I should probably increase my carbs and proteins.  I hope I can get a better direction next month.  Thanks a lot.

I was going to say something on the lines that Kelley said just above but mine isn't as technical or referenced. I'm living it. I have a personal goal to get my calories up to OVER 2000 calories a day(ideal over 2300 a day). My second goal is to maintain over 120 grams of protein a day...So that part is easy cuz I'm eating 6 mini meals a day. But sometimes the fat is quite high. Sometimes the carbs are quite high. I just figure there isn't much that I can do about that while maintaining a varied diet.  What I'm trying to do is gain a couple of pounds and maintain right there and see how I feel. I'm getting it down but the scale isn't moving much. up a tenth, down a couple tenths. mostly maintaining. But my blood work is really good. Not malnurished at all. Most levels high average or above it.

Hi Bethany! I understand your frustration.  My BMR is near 1700.. I have to eat 120+ grams of protein and keeps carbs around 100-120 and fats around 45-55 to maintain my weight and usually 1800 calories.  I gained some though recently when I had a falling off for a while and now back to almost to where I want to be.  I am eating 1200-1400 calories now and losing quickly with that.  Its such a hard game to play i do understand. Id say way more protein personally and healthy carbs.
