The "Eat More (or Moar) Fat" January Challenge page 148

Building muscle will help push your metabolism. I know you're not interested in LHT, but it might help push your weight loss/allow for more calories in a day. Metabolism (as the general public knows it - that fire that keeps us from getting fat) lives in our muscles.

I totally agree now what my son is no longer using the bowflex I can set it to my own weights and leave it there! going to get started an my arms first!

BTW my posts on here about not going too low calorie are informational only and my opinion to boot. I know that some people have found that around 1000 cals is what works for them. I just don't want any newbies to jump right in on low calorie, low carb.

I hope that I have not offended anyone.

Hey, Paula... you CAN change the name of the thread. I went into the very first post of my journal and clicked Edit, then Go Advanced. There is where you can change the name of the title. I only know this b/c I thought about changing the name of my journal once upon a time.

Yesterday I hit my macros, even if it was on the low side..

Yesterday totals:

Totals
1,340 calories

18 Carbs
5%
113 Fat
76%
64 Protein
19%

Ideas for heartburn besides tums and such. I am at school and have very little at my disposal. I am also stuck at school as the car was dropped off in the shop this morning.

I used to chew gum when I had heartburn. It worked, odd but true! I think because it stimulated digestive acid and I was low on that due to excessive Tums and baking soda consumption - I'd slam that stuff down because I was still eating wheat and not realising that I was intolerant.

No offense here.......... we all have our own individual caloric needs and I respect that. I'm also 5'3" with a small-medium build - so I need less than a person of higher stature and larger frame might need. Or, more than someone like my hubbies youngest who is 5'2" and a very small frame. She eats like a bird!

So there is the reason I am glad I am on the taller side and definitely a large frame. I come from farmer stock!

My breakdown for the day is this:

Total calories: 1411
total fat grams: 127
Total protein: 62
Total carbs: 13

I couldn't tell you percentages. This is what MFP gives me.

Fat: 81.0%
Protein: 17.6%
Carbs: 3.7%

That adds up to 102.3%, so something is not right within MFP, but it's close enough.

I don't really worry about the percentages cause if I hit or come very close to my macro goals, I hit the percentages.

That's kind of how I look at it. Besides, I'm terrible at math so the less math I have to do, the better.
