That's a month worth of carbs in one day, you've been doing this for months. How are you not obese? Physics? 

Hahaha, Daddy D. I'm dying. 

Pretty sure that’s more carbs than I’ve had all week lol. 

I averaged 151.9 fat grams and 551.13 carb grams last month. :D Dialing them both back this month. 

Great link! 

Also, to debunk the super fast or super slow metabolism chirp.--> "Is my metabolism super fast/really slow? It’s probably not. Excluding rare and serious metabolic conditions, which should be diagnosed by a doctor, people’s metabolisms tend to be within 200-300 calories of each other. A review article of 67 scientific studies found that “when adjusted for differences in fat-free mass, resting energy expenditure values in obese and non-obese individuals tend to be comparable” and that there is “no association of baseline resting energy expenditure with weight change among 775 men during a 10-year period”. The review draws the conclusion that “Regarding metabolic factors, available data indicate that although there are variations in resting energy expenditure and in the thermic effect of food, there is little evidence that these variations contribute significantly to the observed trends in weight gain.” ---https://thefitness.wiki/faq/is-my-metabolism-super-fast-really-slow/ 

Sometimes I feel I can eat more than other 5’1 females (not complaining) 

I had to be the exercise, I see no other explanation @diablo 

Yes, you may be on the high end of most girls your size. But it could just be that you're more active than most too. 

I guess I am  

Sometimes I feel I don’t do anything 🤣 

I think it’s those active calories that she doesn’t realize she’s burning. Rosio, do you pace? Jiggle your foot? Mom was constantly moving something and it drove the family nuts. She also stayed thin most of her life, sometimes too thin. She ate well but not much more than I’m eating now and she had real sugar in her tea and full calorie coke on top of her food. She burned more than me just by drumming those fingers, jiggling that foot and other little movements. I can easily add 100 kcal burn daily by doing those things. Probably a lot more of I did them unconsciously as she did. I also believe there’s not low metabolisms yet do believe in damage/adaptation as I’ve seen it in myself. Just took a few months ‘at maintenance’ to correct it for me. It’s not as high as I’d like but it’s what I consider normal for me. I just want my 16 yo metabolism back lol. I’d take that over any of yours just because I know how my body reacted then to different foods and amounts of foods.  

I talk with my hands 

How are you feeling on it? 

There ya go lol. When angry I do too and I also stomp around and pace more. I started a log of feelings and found I burned more on those days when upset or mad. Dislike those days and emotions but miss the extra burn lol. Tried sprinting but then I get the chest burn which triggers a hot flash which triggers more negative emotions. Man I gotta figure that stuff out soon lol. I’ll try to start taking with my hands more and see what that does for me :).  

I always talks with my hands, it’s a family thing..my brother does it too  

Lordy! 

Rosio, the new dr I aw today constantly used his hands while speaking. I kept thinking of you and trying to picture you doing the same lol.  

Yeah, many people (girls) think I do it for attention (so I been told by a few) but no it’s simply a habit  

Ha
