- is that working out ok? - ghouly Oct 25, 08:49 16
  - splitting it up. still hungry if I stick to 1500 ( after burning 500-600 from swimming). MyFitnessPal tells me I have to add calories so I have to go - loosilu Oct 25, 08:51 8
    - if you are burning 500-600, I would bump the intake to 1800 or so. - ghouly Oct 25, 08:53 7
      - this I learned watching Biggest Loser. Sometimes you need more calories to increase metabolism. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 25, 08:56 3
        
        your body is like a machine, it goes into cruise control when you maintain a similar pattern. - ghouly Oct 25, 08:59 1
        
        are you familiar with cyclic ketogenic diets? you eat low carb six days a week, then do one day of high carb. - loosilu Oct 25, 09:01
        
        yep, I do know that going too low is bad. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:57
      - that's what I'm doing. I burn that much 6 days a week. There were a couple of evenings where I had a clear - loosilu Oct 25, 08:56 2
        
        my non FBI wanted doctor, has suggested a 1 to 1 ratio of carbs to protein..... - ghouly Oct 25, 08:58 1
        
        that's stage 1 of atkins. I've done it in the past. it's hard to do that if you do high cardio. - loosilu Oct 25, 09:00
  - sad thing is, i am back into the hungry stage. - tRuMaN Oct 25, 08:50 6
    - I told you, it takes 2 weeks to get adjusted to the reduced calories, and one day to blow it. - ghouly Oct 25, 08:52 5
      - i get that, but i have been doing this for almost 2 years now. i have blown it on single days before with no issues - tRuMaN Oct 25, 08:53 4
        
        maybe you are not eating enough protein or fat? if those are too low, you will definitely feel hungry. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:56
        
        how about your daily fiber intake? maybe bump that up a bit. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:54 2
        
        the two protein bars i eat a day have a combined 32% of fiber, plus whatever i eat for lunch - tRuMaN Oct 25, 08:56 1
