Back On Track Together
Protein, Calories, Carbs, and Fats
My main focus are protein, then type of carbs and calories. Then everYthing else just follow.
When I try to lose, I try to get 80-120 gr of proteins, carbs from veggies (non starchy) and nuts and no more than 1000 cal daily. Varied daily- 800 to 1200 per day... Carbs - try not to get more than 50-60 in divided dosages.

I have been advised not to go below 1200 calories a day. I use My Fitness Pal and it's telling me to eat 1490 a day. That seems like a lot to me, I usually eat 1400 calories a day. With that being said, I have been on a 2 week plateau, so I am going to cut some calories and see what happens. I get around 90 grams of protein in a day. I don't really worry about my fat intake. I also exercise 4 days a week.
The thing that burns me is I have maintained close to the same weight for years, even after having 2 babies and breast feeding each of them for a year, my weight still goes back to the same place. I cut out my snacking after getting BOT and I have lost 5 pound and then gained 2 back? Oh well, I guess I just keep it up and it will pay off.
I am a data geek, I feel like you can't change what you don't measure. I have been keeping almost perfect track of my intake for a month, now I have something to go on. I am trying to find out what works for my body. I will try 1300 calories for a few weeks and see what happens, if that doesn't make a difference I will go to 1200. If that doesn't work, I will try something else. I will be patient, I have made a lot of positive changes in a small amount of time.
