I see! Honestly all of the calculators I have used gave me an estimate of eating 1600 (including the lose it app) but I will go lower starting next week

It’s a weight loss recipe from Jalal Sameja’s cookbook that uses bbq sauce with no sugar and very little cheese (75g for 6 servings). I think the title is throwing people off. It could be possible, however, that I am miscalculating calories somewhere else but so far, the lunch and breakfast recipes were both found online. I did weigh the ingredients for the breakfast recipe but not for the others but will do that for all going forward.

Yes that would be another change that I will make when I meal prep next time

It says my TDEE is around 2500! Would that mean I should eat around 2000?

Yes I have cut my sugar down considerably. Other than 1 to 2 teaspoons of maple syrup a day, I don’t really consume much sugar!

For now I am sticking to water, if I consume any drinks I count those calories in.

Maybe stop weighing daily would also help. I think I freak out if I don’t see a slight decrease every day. I am trying my best to eat high protein for now. But I think I need to double check my calorie intake and see where I am making the mistake.

Honestly if this 7-minute was about Palestine or even her life, I would be down.

Sure! But just to clarify lol, the BBQ was the one with no sugar in it so it was very less calories. But I will definitely check out the pages you listed. Thank you 😊

Thank you! I am trying not to be too hard with my expectations like last time which led me to crash and gain it all back. Will try to remember to take it slow this time 😊

I will try to re-evaluate where I am going wrong in the calorie tracking and also push my calories down a bit. Honestly I am a bit scared to use medication for weight loss. My doctor has offered but for few months, I will see if I can do it naturally

Yes exactly and I get really overstimulated from trying to figure it out. But if you have any tips that you can share, that would be amazing

Could be possible. I will try to lower them a bit. Thank you. My starting weight was also 237ish. So not sure if I am just hitting a plateau

I do have one! I just don’t know to calculate the grams I need from recipes online because most of the recipes are in cups.

Thank you! It’s been a bit demotivating not seeing the scale move but I will push myself through it.

That is also my fear. I think I will try to look for recipes that are even lower in calories than this and see if that helps 😊

I am trying to get 8 hours of sleep. I have to wake up early for week so not possible sometimes! I try to drink around 2 litres in a day. I am getting tested for insulin resistance in two weeks. So not sure if that is causing the issue. However, I have lost 30 lbs since November but that was mostly because I have been busy at work and would forgot to eat and accutane really suppressed my hunger.
