Need to increase calorie intake?!



Recommended Posts

Small rant warning

Ugh I've been stalled and im assuming I need to increase my calorie intake because I know it's too low even though I don't fell hungry throughout the day. I don't want my body to stay in starvation mode which is why I feel like in not losing weight. It's hard to increase my calories. Any suggestions for good foods that will help me increase my calorie intake to keep thos weight moving?

This is an odd post. How many calories are you eating? you give very little information to go on.

Second, starvation mode as most people know it is a complete myth. Chances are you need to cycle your calories a bit, meaning one day you need to eat more of your calories from carbohydrates than usual and see where that gets you.

miangr

per your profile - i see B) you were sleeved June18th ;)

your starting weight was 312

you have successfully lost 41 lbs!!!!

bringing you to the magic # of 271!!!!! WooHoo WooHoo!!!! party dance party dance :lol:

Protein bars are yummy, they can have alot of calories, and carbs too :angry:

on an occassion, having one is terrifice - terrific taste ;)

some/many (me) OP try and stay away from Protein Bars cuz they are so good, (kindof like candy bar?? :huh: )very addicting

some people do adjust their calories when a stall hits - to shake things up a bit

"assuming" I need to increase.................

hmmmmm - i "assume" LOL you know what happens when you "assume" something??? :o

You make an assssss out of you and me :lol:

you are only 7 weeks PO

discuss with your NUT your situation/concerns

she is the only one that OFFICIALLY should direct you to your calorie intake

many/most times - you just have to "ride" out a stall

some people might change this or that about their daily routine, and the stall breaks

but whose to say if these changes helped break the stall

or the stall was gonna break on its own

coincidentally the same time changes were made???? :wacko:

you are doing great with your weight loss

41 lbs!!!! :o OMG!!!!

keep up the good work

kathy

congrats

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
