It seems like your carbs and protein should be reversed. If you are exercising at all should get between 0.7-1g of protein per lb of bodyweight. I was on a pretty high carb diet (ie, eat what I want) for a couple of years and it was having some negative health effects. I’ve upped the protein in the last few months and now have less desire to eat as much and the carbs do less damage to things like blood sugar.
This has been greatly helped my myfitnesspal, which have given me a good idea of what I needed to change: no big rice/pasta meals, less bread, more eggs, lean meat, and protein powder/shakes.

need my rice!
have you read The China Study?
Na, but it sounds dicy based on the first few paragraphs of the wiki.
I am semi-reading “Why we get fat,” which is anti-carbs. I don’t think any extreme diet is called for. I do think that humans are designed for a fairly high amount of activity, which is inconsistent with most forms of life these days (office chairs, gaming, convenient cooking, cleaning, etc). Like the body is “designed” for a baseline level of activity and decomposes without it. To me the China Study looks like it may be the baseline energy output in daily living study, which correlates with animal-based foods and US/Euro living practices.
Also, one of the few universal pieces of advice about nutrition for weight lifters is to consume 0.7-1 g/lb of protein. So my current strategy is to do that, get some exercise, and cap calories at 75-80% of estimated daily expenditure (2600/3400 for me), and let fat and carbs fall where they may. I probably get 2 servings of veggies per day. Not ideal, but imo activity is the main thing.
it’s ricy, not dicy. I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss it, but I’m totally not interested in a scientific approach to body and mind.
we can continue this in my thread if you care to. we’ve aidsed rexxy’s thread enough
I don’t think there is any chance I could eat that amount of protein. I do agree I should be trying to hit my protein goals and possibly increase it to around 140. No way I could do over 200 in protein s day though, I would become quite depressed and eating would be a chore. Im also aiming for 3 days pw vegetarian which makes it even more impossible. I do appreciate your feedback and I will try to hit higher protein, just not quite as high as you’re suggesting.

I hate that I can’t string along a good amount of deficit days. Im never going to lose any weight at this rate. I’m going through a particularly stressful time atm and just want to stress eat. This is the number one thing I need to get a handle on for things to improve.

I had decided to try and just eat healthy and not calorie count because I have had such limited success with calorie counting (keeping to the limits). Then I weighed myself yesterday and stopping counting for 5 days resulted in my weight increasing to 124.1! So i guess I’m stuck on this train, I might as well try and make the ride somewhat enjoyable. Even if I’m not losing weight I clearly find it really easy to gain and I CANNOT gain anymore weight.

Today is a good day getting back into it as it’s Grand Final day and I could be persuaded to go fuck it and really indulge as hey it’s just one day a year. NO.
