Ugh! my weight loss has totally stalled! I'm working out and drinking tons of water. I think I need to lower my calories, and maybe switch up the percentages...lower fat and carbs, more protein?

Thanks for the comment! I had been aiming for 55% carbohydrates, 30% fat, 15% protein, but now I'm considering more like 45% carbohydrates, 25% fat, 30% protein. Does that seem about right?

I usually try for 40-45 carbs, 30-35 protein and the rest healthy fats. If you feel you can"t eat enough to get the protein, try a whey protein powder to add protein. Don"t worry about the calories so much because the protein will help build muscle and help you feel less hungry. Also, look at the type of carbs you eat - fresh ruits and veggies are great, but too many sugar laden things can make losing hard and spike the blood sugar.

Bought some whey protein today. I was a bit anxious to try it, since I've never had it before. Not bad; I got the vanilla flavor and mixed it with milk. Definitely gives me a full feeling! I was worried about how I'd get so much protein without adding too much fat and/or carbs. I'm excited to see how this works out. Thanks!
