I am thankful to have good data to look back on and compare.
The last 5 months (when I didn't lose any weight) I averaged a day.
1319 calories
34% protein
29% carbs
37% Fat
The previous 5 months (when I was losing weight) I averaged a day
1218 calories
39% protein
26% carbs
35% Fat
Difference =
101 Calories increased
5% protein decreased
3% carbs increased
2% fat increased
There isn't a huge difference but it is enough for my body to stop losing weight. In order to accomplish that I need to drop my calories down by 100.
These numbers don't reflect on the tetris type game I have been learning by using food to meet my micronutrient goals (vitamin/minerals). I am pleased with the effort I have put in to gain the knowledge of how to do this, which is a huge challenge for me.
If the choice is losing weight or hitting my micronutrient goals than i will choose micronutrients. Being healthy and full of energy is more important to me than losing the last 10 lbs. But.....I want to do both!
