I am glad you figured that out buddy. The name of the game is lean, fit and healthy. Know what I mean?

Good morning and Happy Hump Day to you too! I could take a lesson or two (or 20) from your recipes/cookbook, because you always are making something yummy! Sounds like you need a few more good calories in you though and those workouts will keep you in a deficit, don't worry!

Yes, I had been noticing that my deficit was a LOT considering the exercise I do. I'm still going to be low cal, but aiming for a minimum of 1000-1200 daily..certainly not 300-500.
@shapeshift - Thanks! the smoothie was really yummy. I make a lot of different flavors, but this is probably my favorite :)

Great job VeggieJ. My sub 1000 calorie journey started 2 days back and I still had PLENTY energy to knock out 10 miles each day. Keep it going!

Thanks Ches! I had a lot of energy on my very low calorie days, too :)

If you are working out, you might need more protein and that can be good calories.

I found a really great vegan protein powder at Costco. Orgain is the name of the brand. Great for a pick me up in the afternoon.

I'm think so too, Zak! I may try to have one daily :)

Me too!! I just gotta be careful with the carbs, I looked over your calories last night, you are a machine.

Great work - I learned you can actually have too big of a deficit and the body holds on...I agree with you a slight calorie increase may continue to move things along - you want want to feed the lean body mass, too.
|
@HCB - I'm not actively trying to lose any more weight, and am thinking of changing my goal weight and moving into maintenance. I lose weight very quickly when my calories get too low. I will keep doing my hard workouts to tone more, so I may still lose a few more pounds from that :) My hubby will not be happy if I lose much more.

Yes - I didn't think you were trying to lose any more - just build lean muscle. need nutrition to keep the muscle.
|
Yeah, no more 200 calorie days for me. Now just focusing on shifting parts of my bod back where they should be, lol
