Terrible eating day yesterday! I went way over my calories, not over carbs though. Still showed a gain this morning, which I knew I would. I have been weighing each morning, same time to see fluctuation. When my calories are at or slightly below 1200 and carbs are under 25 net, I lose about .5 a pound. If there is any increase in calories, I go up about .5 a pound. As long as carbs go between 0 and 40 net, I tend to not show too much of a variance in weight when calories are at or below 1200. Now, I need to find foods that fit well into the 1200 calories that I love and will enjoy.
I love ground beef, but that is higher in calories so I also like ground turkey (a bit lower in calories). I'm not overly found of chicken, but don't hate it and it is only 100 calories for 4 ounces, tuna (which I love) is about 100 calories for a whole small can, haddock and salmon (which I love) are both under 200 calories for a filet. So, now I just need to plan this in, maybe one burger with ground turkey each day and then one of the lower calorie items for other meals. I can up veggies, but have to be careful, because the carbs are in veggies.
I just find it amazing that now if I eat 1300 calories I gain .5 of a pound, but before I must have eaten over 3000 a day and didn't gain 3.5 pounds every single week (I'd be 600 pounds by now). It is interesting how the body works.
Well, I will get this weight off! We will all do this!!!!!
Have a great day!

And you gained cause carbs don’t dictate weight loss, gain or maintenance.

having salads is a good addition along with some zuchinni boats. If you tolerate cheese well folks scoop out the inside and then melt cheese and other pizza toppings on it. You can look up some recipes that are quick and easy for more variety online.

Oh and of course if you eat more than the norm of carbs on day your body will gain, cause you have deprived your of carbs

Thank you both, keeping carbs down is not difficult for me. I actually love this way of eating. It is the times I want, not need to, but want to eat that drive my calories up. I keep a journal next to me now, so that every time I want to eat I write and use the journal as my "therapy". I am good at reaching all my life goals, except when it comes to weight, so this time I will beat weight and reach my goals!

I think weighing every day is good because you see trends in what food a cause you to lose it gain weight. And some of those foods, at least for me, cause water retention.

@Keyishealth - Your journaling is a good idea. Also logging EVERYTHING. This allows you to see what works and doesn't for YOU. Without this, I have found that I cannot make good decisions to find what works for me.
