Thread: It Feels like my stomach is eating itself

Start eating more

1200 cals a day is not a lot of food.

Yah I want to but I don't know what else to eat.
My diet, mainly, just consists of:
- oats
- salad
- chicken
- cottage cheese
- soy milk
- whey

And I can't go over 25g of carbs in a day mon-thurs. And i did try eating a protein but it just made me sick. I just dont want to eat something I'll regret.

is this some kind of joke?

Carbs not Protein

oops

You should read up on cycling your carb intake and see how that works out for you.

It could potentially speed your progress and relieve your hunger issues at the same time

Worth a look anyway...

You need a dietary overhaul. What tool did you use to determine your over all caloric needs?

I didn't use any tools. 1200 is kind of where i have always been at...I didnt pay attention to macro nutrients then then i do now though.

Go here and fill in the blanks with honest data. See what ya get ...

hmm
the amount of calories it told me to eat is about the amount i was eatinbg when i gained 10lbs. I'm scared to up my calories because my body puts on weight like nothing.

It says 4300 calories is my base.......thats a bit high, but somewhat close.

Probably cause your metabolism has gone in the shitter from eating so little.

thats how much it said i should eat

What was your inputs

me at 31 6'1 230 and active was 3600

I am 5 foot 10 at 215 and mine was like 4300......I wrote in about 30 mins a day of weights, hour a day of softball, and an hour of walking or so.....(I think)

I put you in at 18 5'7" and 120 and very active and it said 2900 or around abouts.

I'm not 120. and I'm 5 foot 8.
I dont even know how much i weight to be blatantly honest**. I know for sure i'm about 10 lbs heavier now then i am in that one tummy shot, and i didnt even know how much i weighed there

45 minutes of running, 6.7 mph (9 min/mile)
50 minutes of weight lifting, vigorous effort
15 minutes of walking, 4.0 mph, level ground, very brisk

Huh.....I noticed you took your pictures down?

"they were suggestive" apparently

That was about my guesstimation too. A little under 2800 calories of CLEAN foods.

Nice, I'm right on target then for a cut.

5'9" 205 somewhat active/weight training vigorous = 3528 k/cal

I've been teetering between 3200-3400 lately. No wonder I feel so much better this time trying to drop some bodyfat.

Wonder if I'm skirting on the low end then - probably around 2600-2700 according to that and I'm doing 1900-2000 cals.
