Supplemental Entry: Got my new handheld Omron Fat Loss Monitor today ($30 at Amazon.com). It is a Biometric Impedance Analysis (BIA) unit. I ordered it as a checksum against my Tanita BIA Scale, which has placed me at 15-16 percent body fat for some time. To my disappointment but not surprise, the Omron unit measured me at 31.1 percent body fat. Denise doesn't believe it, but I think I do. I went to several websites where they estimated body fat for my weight and it matched the Omron and not the Tanita. This miscalculation could explain a lot.
I have been hitting every macro and staying largely in ketosis but just not losing the weight I've slowly put on since I was in the hospital a year ago (about 20 pounds). That weight gain coincides with my increasing calories to match what I thought was a valid target. If the new numbers are true (and I think they are), then my daily "maintenance" intake is 2014 calories. Anytime I eat over that (which is daily except for my Friday Fast), I am exceeding my goal. I am going to adjust the rest of the month to 1525 calories per day (except for one more Fasting Friday). That will allow me to finish the month with a 1500 per day calorie average (my new estimated lean body mass x 10).
When March begins, I'll eat approximately 1900 a day except for my first five days (Fasting Mimicking) and four Fasting Fridays. In the end, this is just a few hundred calories less than I've been eating and will be easy. Time will tell if that will be the difference. I think it will be. I will still do keto and 16:8 fasting with two meals per day. Now I need to see what to do in order to update my daily numbers on FatSecret. That format may need to change.
