Do you count your carb intake as well? I am so afraid to eat things with carbs in them. I do not eat Rice, Pasta or bread. But for instance my sugar free pudding has 15 carbs in it....is that ok???

I don't count my carbs, but I don't eat a lot of carbs. I focus on Protein first, then veggies and every once in a while I'll have carbs with my meal. I only eat 1 cup food per meal. My Snacks are high Protein (greek yogurt, cheese, peanuts).

Hope that helps.

I've currently been carb cycling to break a plateau' date=' but when I'm not or on a high carb day, I don't count carbs at all.

In my losing stage I ate 1000 calories each day after clearing it with the dr. I have 11 more lbs to take off my I am doin g it in the maintainience stage so i eat about 1500 calories now... But I have trouble eating all that. I expect when I get those 11 lbs off I may need a slight unfill... Not sure how that works.

I eat about 800 - 1000 cal per day, and "try" to get to 65 - 70g of Protein a day. I'm getting better at it. I also try to eat 3 -5 times a day, and track my food on MFP. Great tool!

Why should you not snack? I've been wondering this. My doc says just 3 meals, that's it.

I don't know what this is. I will have to look into it.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
