Ive lost around 50lbs and overall its been very successful.

Diet started with about 2800cals/day on average (was calorie cycling).

now I am at 2200cals/day with 1 higher carb day at approx 3200cals. I am losing weight at approx 1% bodyweight a week which seems reasonable. I havn't really lost any strength so I am not too concerned with muscle loss.

My bodyweight right now is 205lbs and I suspect i will be right around 200lbs when i am satisfied with my leanness. After my high carb days my weight shoots up to 213-215ish currently.

I want to slowly transition into gaining weight again, and i'm not quite sure how to approach it. I imagine my metabolism is somewhat slowed from 20 weeks of dieting and i highly doubt I will like the results of eating 4000+ cals per day right out of the gate. What kind of rate sounds reasonable to add calories to get to 3000 (approx what i need to maintain) calories constantly again? Should I just bump it right up and deal with the initial weight gain? Or just add 200ish cals/week for say 5 weeks? ]]> Diet, Nutrition and Supplementation Frank.S http://forums.jpfitness.com/diet-nutrition-supplementation/43968-transition-off-deficit.html What is going on with muscle gauge whey protein? http://forums.jpfitness.com/diet-nutrition-supplementation/43954-what-going-muscle-gauge-whey-protein.html Fri, 03 Sep 2010 22:42:07 GMT I ordered a tub of the cake batter protein, a couple of months ago from bodybuilding.com.

Well now, it has been back ordered so long that they canceled the order. And when I went to it, ALL the muscle gauge protein is back ordered. :(

I am not up on all the protein stuff, but is that normal?? Are these things normally out for a month or so at the time?

I am at a fat loss phase, but still use it post-workout on weight training days and sometimes as a breakfast component when I am on a rush.

I began tracking... A little background first...I have been doing NROL4W through stage one and am currently in my week off before beginning stage two. I began tracking my calories and weight daily when I started the program and managed to lose the last couple of pregnancy pounds right away. Even after getting back to what I figured my "ideal" weight is based on my height (I am 5'2" and all the charts I have ever seen say 115 is what an ideal healthy weight for that height is) I continued to track to ensure adequate protein intake. I started to feel like I was getting a little too obsessive with it, however, so I decided to step away from tracking and weighing for a while but consume a set meal plan to ensure I was still getting enough protein (with my set snacks and meals I consume over 125 grams a day easily and that does not include the post workout shake). I did this last week during the final week of stage one with the two bonus workout. This worked well and I did not think anything about it until last night. It was my anniversary so I went out to eat w/my husband and while I did not go crazy I did eat several things I normally don't (ice cream, buttered roll) though all in moderate quantities. This morning I wondered how much damage I did weight wise so I decided to step on the scale this morning. I only weighed 113.4 pounds!! I kind of freaked out as I am NOT the kind of person who believes you can never be too thin. But at the same time I can't say I look anorexic or any thing like that. You can see the muscle definition and I just look lean

So after all that here are my questions...how low is too low? Did I go too low and lost some of the muscle I worked so hard to build? Where do I go from here? I have a pretty petite build, could the "chart weight" of 115 actually be too high? I am so confused and am not sure if I should be thrilled at being so thin or run out and start eating chicken and tuna like there is no tomorrow - although if there really was no tomorrow chicken and tuna would NOT be my first meal choices :D

Any direction would be appreciated! ]]> Diet, Nutrition and Supplementation PostTwinsPlus2 http://forums.jpfitness.com/diet-nutrition-supplementation/43809-did-i-go-too-low-lost-muscle.html Fighting Obesity http://forums.jpfitness.com/diet-nutrition-supplementation/43764-fighting-obesity.html Mon, 23 Aug 2010 04:29:54 GMT The world is out to get you.

Anyway, after being off of it for about 2 weeks, I had to go to the doctor today to get antibiotics for a sinus infection.

And found out I am anemic. I have been told I was 'borderline' anemic my whole life, and it's one of those things that keeps popping up.

But today the doctor was adamant that I wasn't borderline at all, but 'really' anemic.

I would think that a high protein diet would have provided me with a LOT of iron. Am I wrong?

The other day my Facebook "friend" posted a picture of the most delectable lasagna you've ever seen on his wall. He wrote under it, "Don't worry, I'm going to eat it mindfully." This comment was obviously attached for my benefit. I wasn't worried. He isn't the only friend I have that uploads plates of food, snacks and desserts on their Facebook page. People post pictures of food for lots of reasons. Here are just a few of the psychological motivations behind sharing what you eat with the world.
In the end, I really think they all come down to number ten.

Quote:
10. Know Me. "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are" said the French philosopher, Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin wrote. Wanting people to truly know you may be your motivation for keeping a daily food journal on your Facebook page or uploading the occasional photo of your meals. Documenting what you eat tells your friends a lot about who you are--your habits, personality, preferences and culinary weaknesses. If this sounds like you, it's likely that you've already become a fan of "Taking Pictures of Food."
Motivations for posting food on facebook aren't much different from the motivations to become a chef, a cookbook author, or a food blogger. I'm guilty of several of items on the list, that's for sure. ]]> Diet, Nutrition and Supplementation Lost Dog http://forums.jpfitness.com/diet-nutrition-supplementation/43651-10-reasons-why-people-post-food-facebook.html
