Dairy

Sorry but all I asked was if people know that dairy affects their weight loss.
1200 a day is my upper limit, most days I don't get that much anyway, and I couldn't possibly make myself eat more.
So yeah, thanks.

How can I be eating more than I think?
I know counting calories is not exact, but its close enough.

DO you mean you think I am eating more than I need? I am eating what I need, and yes its working so far so yeah.

One TDEE calculator comes up with 2800 approx.
I am not going to eat that much. And the same website mentions BMR.
Doesn't matter not going to count anymore anyway, I know what i need to eat.

To get back to the topic..............................

Dairy for me is too high carb in the just straight up milk form. I do use high fat dairy items such as raw butter and cream and aged raw cheeses. I also like fermented dairy such as kefir and labne.

Regular Kraft type cheese makes me all stuffy in the sinuses and generally bloated everywhere. So I think the quality of the dairy product matters.

Thanks PB.

Blimey.

I was just pointing out something because I saw you said you ate below your BMR and figured, hey, maybe she might want to know she can eat more and [I]still[/I] lose weight. But if you don't want to, fine, your choice.

BTW, I'd recommend using the calculator on MyFitnessPal, if any. IMO, more effective.

Didn't mean to "offend" or whatever. :rolleyes:

I am using MFP currently, if I use their macros it tells me to eat:
Calories: 1520
Fat: 51 g (Way too low)
Carbs: 209g (no way in hell can I eat this many carbs without feeling shit)
Protein: 57 g (the only thing that matches approx)
These macros will help me lose weight yes, but I feel like crap eating that many carbs.
This is my goals:
Calories 1200
Carbs: 15g
Protein: 60g
Fat: 100g
I feel great eating these macros, or less. I def could not eat any more if I tried, so thanks, if I needed to eat more I would :)
Not interested in starving myself.

At the risk of offending again...

You can edit your macros. :P And it's pretty easy to eat more. Tad bit more bacon or cheese if you're so adamant towards low carb. Gotta say, you're kinda my opposite: I [I]love[/I] eating craptons of food. Kinda like a human vacuum cleaner when it comes to my plate, actually. ^_^

I know I can edit them, which is why I set them to what I did :)
I was just showing you the comparison to what they tell me I should it.
Again, I can't possibly eat more. I have finally (after 13 years of bingeing to the point of feeling so sick), learnt to listen to my body, and eating just what I need.
This is something that no-one could possibly understand unless they have been there. Eating only when I need to is very freeing.
So yeah. Thanks though.

I'm not trying to lose weight but lately I have been consuming a lot more dairy, previously I just didn't eat any out of disinterest. Since incorporating dairy into my diet, I've noticed zero changes in my weight.
