Say you're at 250 and want to go to 150. 1500 calories a day is just going to shut your system down hard, rather than start stripping the lbs off.
Yeah, in that theoretical situation, I'd shoot for an intermediate goal, like 200, or even 225, and then as I lost, I'd just adjust downward in increments.
I know that I range between eating 1400- 2400 in a day. Honestly, if I coul d even out the range a bit more to say 1500- 1800 , I would drop some weight.
My nutritionist said I should eat no more than 1300-1400 calories a day, and it BLOWS when I try to get through a week.
I'm pretty sure that if I stopped drinking so much wine, I would lose weight, but frankly, I like the wine. Also, I think I might have caused the hangry thing by not eating, like, at all, when I was in high school (I seriously ate a snickers bar and a diet mountain dew a day, or maybe some yogurt or a popsicle.)
Calories never really make sense to me on an instinctive level. I mean, the sandwich that was so filling I could barely finish it today was 370 calories, but a small apple that was like inhaling a breath of air for breakfast was nearly a third of that.

I think that's about fat v. carb. I swear, fat makes me full, and carbs just make me more hungry.
FTR, I'm still satisfied from the Burrito Bowl, even with no tortilla! I was seriously thinking I would need a snack.
well I've made may fitday stuff public and if anyone is interested in doing a stint on there with me, I'd be up for supporting each other soemhow.

Whatever they put in celery makes me more hungry. For something else. Carbs make me want more carbs because they are tastier than sin. Fat makes me slow my roll.
Why isn't pad thai on Fitday?
