3 Weeks In, Not Too Impressed, Ready to Give Up

(Championsidewinder) #241

I need someone here in my house to show me what I’m doing wrong not someone here telling me about body mass and other things that make no sense to me that’s why I use an app so I can hopefully do it right but if that doesn’t work then I’m done

(Championsidewinder) #242

I just texted you why, “scaled to lean body mass? I don’t understand that stuff or fat to satiety? What is that?” :man_shrugging:t2::man_shrugging:t2::man_shrugging:t2::man_shrugging:t2::man_shrugging:t2:

(Championsidewinder) #243

Yup, because I cannot do it on my own

(Championsidewinder) #244

That’s why the app is there for retards like me

(Championsidewinder) #245

Stop doing what? I’m eating I am supplementing taking fish oil And coq10 two mult-vit

(Championsidewinder) #246

And 2400 calories is enough for me, I don’t understand why I should eat more, gee how would I know what my calories are at today if I didn’t log it, that’s why I have the app, if it’s not working then I’m lost

How did we all survive before the invention of tracking apps?!?! If they were essential you wouldn’t be here as humans would have been extinct long long ago.

Many people have given you excellent advice. Maybe you need to read it without prejudice because you come across as very argumentitive to people who are trying to help you. People who have been successful eating this way.

I have said my last words as I feel as though they fall on deaf ears.

(Championsidewinder) #248

YES BECAUSE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT, ok ? Not complaining about the advice I just don’t understand it

(Championsidewinder) #249

I have told you ppl over and over what I don’t understand but you just don’t get it :man_shrugging:t2:

(Championsidewinder) #250

You too huh? I need help, you give it but I don’t understand it, hmmmm

(Championsidewinder) #251

How do I know I am getting 25% protein or 3% net carbs or 72% fat without the app? Please tell me?

(TJ Borden) #252

Let’s try to simplify it even more…

What did you weigh your senior year in high school?

(Championsidewinder) #253

:man_shrugging:t2: Idk I was skin n bones

(TJ Borden) #254

You don’t remember? Even a ballpark range?

(Championsidewinder) #255

Maybe 175

(Championsidewinder) #256

I have adhd with reading comprehension and math problems, learning disability that’s why I like an app so I don’t get mad and smash my iPad or just quit the diet, and I’m not tracking calories, they are just there I don’t care really, but today is the most I have eaten in awhile, I try to eat right but without an app I might eat too much fat or not enough or whatever

(TJ Borden) #257

Sounds reasonable, let’s roll with that. That’s likely close to your lean body mass. Your protien is based on 1-1.5 grams per KG of lean body mass.

175 lbs is about 80 KG, so your protien target range is 80-120 grams.

So let’s revisit the basics l, geared to you. DON’T worry about percentages, let’s just focus on GRAMS.

  • 20 grams or less of carbohydrates
  • 80-120 grams of protien
  • fat to satiety (until you’re full)

If you’re hungry, eat, and try to eat fat. Any veggies should be vessels for fat. Eat them with butter or low carb dressings or mayo.

(TJ Borden) #258

You can still use the app if you want, but use it to track carbs and protein grams. The only fat goal is satiety, what the app tells you to eat is irrelevant. For now, ignore the percentages.

(Championsidewinder) #259

Ok I had the protein set lower on the app but that is if I want to lose more than 1 pound a week, like 2 pounds a week but thought I was 1 pound a week so I can eat more sense ppl say I’m not eating enough :man_shrugging:t2:
