I have not been recording my weight changes lately. I went up to 137 and been bouncing back and forth. I have refigured my diet and been trying different things. I am far more active now than I was before my 20 pound loss. So after looking at the new figures for my calorie needs and my macros, I decided I needed more protein. And since I was in this stall I further decided that maybe I needed to go more into shaping my diet to fit my future maintenance lifestyle than weight loss. So I am testing more veggies and less fat. I have definite food sensitivities that have kicked up pretty badly and trying to find the worst culprits to limit or remove. A lot of veggies cause me problems,,,my egg sensitivity flared so I have to limit those more. The sensitivity to many veggies is a major reason my carbs were dead low. But I do need to have the fiber and other benefits. So far this is working out well. My carbs are up, my protein is up and my calories I shift up on busier exercise days. I am down to 134.6 and if it sticks I will eventually post it. so if you are in a stall after a major weight drop, it does not hurt to really evaluate the needs of the new improved you and make adjustments. Oh and on a side note, I just recently discovered that it was the cream in my coffee that was causing my problem and not the coffee itself. There are things I just refuse to live without. coffee was not one of them. I found out by accident testing things and when the knots in my neck went away, that adds dairy to my limited list.

Good advice here. I went to ketogain.com and did my macros after reading that my protein may be too low. According to that calculator it is. I am wondering if I need to up the protein, keep the carbs, lower the fat, and stay the course for my calories right now. I have been kicking that around in my head. hmmmmm I guess it is all trial and error and discussion. Thanks for sharing Baskington!!

I think each of us are different, and we need to try adjustments to see how it fits. You have lost a considerable amount of weight too. If you feel better and less tired on the increased protein, then it is a good fit.
