I lost my husband in 2017 very suddenly. The shock wore off a few months ago and has messed with my mind and body! After dropping too much weight I decided I HAVE to eat and the way I decided to increase my calories is a little each day by keeping track on this site. I was on this site to lose weight a few years ago so I'm using it in reverse now.

Losing Weight & Not Tryng To!

I upped my calories but am still losing weight. My last blood work showed low protein and low globulin. So don't know if something is wrong or not. Doctor didn't say anything about blood work but asked if I was deliberately trying to lose weight. At that time I told him I was but I'm not now and still dropping weight.

I upped my calories to 1600 a day, and eat a protein bar every day. Any suggetions? I don't go back to my doctor until the 24th of May. I'm too skinny now and don't have muscle mass.


How tall are you? 1600 is NOT enough to make you even maintain your 120 pounds with that exercise you are doing, you are expending more calories than you are taking in. If you are not tired and fatigued then that is probably your problem, it's not a sickness.

THE BIGGEST LOSER - MUST NOT SEE TV

I believe that show has done more damage to people's esteem and body issues than any amount of fat shaming could. Aparently if you're not endangering your health and dropping 15 lbs a week, you're not trying hard enough. It sets up VERY unrealistic expectations for a lot of people. And unfortunately I think there are those who give up because they're "only" losing 1 or 2 lbs a week instead of 8 or 9.


Not only that, they have these people who are 300 pounds and never exercise doing something like running 3 miles the first day, or running up 500 feet of bleachers! My daughter is 28, maybe 175 pounds and goes to the gym and she said she took some stairs in NYC that were 75 feet and she had to stop halfway because she felt like she was going to puke. That show is very VERY unreasonable.

low calorie restaurant lunches?

If they have turkey or roast beef or grilled chicken sandwiches or anything that's not already mixed with dressings such as mayonnaise, have that but with no dressing or bread. Ask if you can substitute steamed vegetables or cottage cheese for the french fries.
Alternative is vegetable or bean soups - no cream soups (but sodium may be high). Get 2 bowls and pass on the bread.
If they are still serving breakfast have a vegetable omelet -no cheese- with fruit. Hold the fried potatoes.
Ask if they have a "low fat" "low carb" or "diet" plate.

I just got back from a mini vacation and restaurants are impossible. I tried to talk my sisters into a organic restaurants but they balked. I'm going to start asking for changes all the time now. I used to go for 'big value' meals and always took 1/2 the meal home...I finally realized that that often ended up being 2 high fat, high carb meals, instead of just one.

If we don't demand healthy meals we're never going to get them.


I never thought too much about restaurants until I came on this site and started tracking what I ate and saw the calories and sodium in that stuff! WHOA!!! Every time I eat out the next day my weight shoots up 2 pounds (I'm guessing water weight from sodium) It is really bad!

Lettuce like THAT would be fine. That doesn't sound bad at all! Except we don't have that restaurant here. Probably any place can make something like that though! Thanks for the advice Smile

Does anyone know what I could get to eat (besides anything to do with lettuce!) in a restaurant that is pretty low in calories and sodium?
