I fell off the bandwagon for a bit. After feeling terrible at the 10 day mark, I upped my calories and carbs and got out of the habit of tracking. My energy has greatly improved and I’ve been able to go harder on my lifting/workouts. And I haven’t gained any of the weight back, but maintaining the last two weeks or so (I don’t even know how long…Read More

I did a refuel yesterday and adjusted my calories and protein a bit. Feeling much better today. I’m glad I listened to my body and am figuring out what it needs. I also got the Kreatures of habit oatmeal. After three days, I finally tried it cold and it’s much better that way. So far, maple is my favorite.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around cold oatmeal. Do you make it and then put it in the fridge?
-
I just pour water on it in the morning and eat it right away. The directions say to put it in the fridge overnight, but I prefer a more crunchy texture.

So, it’s been 10 days following my calorie and protein goals and I think i need to make an adjustment. At the end of the day I feel exhausted, my bowels are doing funky things (stomach cramps, constipated, diarrhea) and my libido is non existent. I have lost a significant amount of weight for me (down about 5 lbs). Suggestions on what to tweak f…Read More

That’s a lot, you definitely shouldn’t be feeling like that. I’d maybe start with 100 calories per day ( that’s if some of the weight is water weight) if your protein is around a gram per lb I’d try upping your carbs for more energy
-
Yea you def need to increase! Shouldn’t be feeling that way, probably way too low!
-
I would definitely increase 100-150 calories. More in carbs if your protein is adequate.

I’ve been doing frozen roasted chicken with some california veg mix and a tablespoon of italian dressing.
Tuna fish, a little mayo, lots of dill relish and 3 multigrain crackers crushed on top.
Egg whites with bacon bits and protein oatmeal for breakfast

I’m doing wraps this week. I got turkey meat from Costco, low carb tortillas, lettuce, fat free cheese and mustard. It’s quick and it’s yummy. I also do light and fit Greek yogurt with berries. Any kind of rice cakes with peanut butter or PB2 and fruit. Kodiak pancakes or waffles with sugarfree syrup and fruit and egg whites. I also make a huge…Read More

I do a hamburger bowl for lunch a lot of days. Either lean ground beef or bison. Put it over rice with shredded lettuce and then pretty much anything else you put on a burger. Ketchup, mustard , tomato, some onion and some everything but the bagel seasoning🤌🏼🤌🏼

4/5 chicken breast in slowcooker with little bit of water , extra virgin olive oil, ( your choice of sauce.-I use franks red hot or G hughes flavour) 8 hrs on low and then you have shredded chicken with rice and a veggie for multiple meals. Greek yogurt with berries is a go to. You can even add a scoop of protein for a bit of a dessert flavor and…Read More

I like to get these frozen veggie pastas, after I cook them I add in some type of protein, shredded chicken, I get frozen turkey meatballs, 97/3 ground beef. So good! Also I like to do bowls as well. Lettuce base, pick some type of veggie and a protein! You can do like taco bowls, Big Mac bowls, chicken Fajita bowls! The options are endless!

We usually end up grabbing a rotisserie chicken and a hearty salad. If we got a bit more time we chop up some potatoes and have an easy protein like turkey sausage chopped up and some veggies with good spices 🤓

My go-to for meal prep for lunches and dinners are from Lillie Biesinger – Lillie Eats and Tells. She has SO MANY great options and everything is easy to make, stores for leftovers / meal prep well, and is calorie conscious, high protein and macro balanced. I have her cookbooks. She has a lot of amazing recipes on her blog, and if you sign up for…Read More

We take plain non fat Greek yogurt and mix in either onion soup mix or ranch mix. Cut up some veggies and use it as a dip. Tons of protein!

I’m doing ground bison with rice and zucchini these next few days for work! And ground turkey pepper boats that I made up!

I’ve been craving sugar/treats the last two days. I let myself have some today and stayed within my calorie goal, but man! I just want to eat it all.
-
I struggle with this too. I bought chocolate rices cakes, add tbsp peanut butter and half banana and it takes my craving away.

Way to show up here and be honest. Your body obviously needed more calories. Always listen to your body and how you feel. 💪🏼🧡
