Welshpoppy Mar 2021 3:05pm, 9 Mar 2021 662 posts	Quote Pin Welshpoppy I love olives and cheese and knew it would be high for the tub.We have to weigh everything! Nuts is my downfall I portion them up or I could nibble the whole bag! Since I have upped the protein which is jolly hard to do...strange combinations for meals I am less hungry.

Welshpoppy Mar 2021 3:18pm, 9 Mar 2021 663 posts	Quote Pin Welshpoppy I tweaked the macros 30%fat,30% protein,40% carbs.
EvilPixie Mar 2021 3:21pm, 9 Mar 2021 23,873 posts	Quote Pin EvilPixie did you use the calories they gave an "in active" or say you are active? and do you count exercise calories? I've tried before not using any exercise calories but also heard only use those over 500 calories and always say you are inactive and all exercise calorie estimates are wrong so ignore them! I try to fuel sessions over 2hrs and I'm now thinking about recovery products over 2hrs too as my training is ramping up but I do need to lose!
Rosehip Mar 2021 3:28pm, 9 Mar 2021 20,043 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip I tweak - same macros as WP, but I've set it that my exercise cals (which I eat most of) to give me 60%carbs, 25% protein, 15% fat. I'm set as completely sedentary, I borrow some of my running cals for rest days week rather than worry abou being spot on day-to-day, but do eat more of them around a long run and I only add strenuous gardening or "workouts", not general activity And I'm still struggling to lose even lb a week
Rosehip Mar 2021 3:29pm, 9 Mar 2021 20,044 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip My base is 1100, running cals come from the Garmin and they're probably not far off.
Welshpoppy Mar 2021 3:33pm, 9 Mar 2021 664 posts	Quote Pin Welshpoppy I said I was inactive then add the exercise calories from Garmin or what ever gadget you have. It is a difficult one for me personally I am aiming no matter what it says to only eat 1900 cals no matter what exercise I do. It really is trial and error to find the number that works for you.I am still looking for the magic number. If you are ramping training up you have to fuel for the long sessions without eating too much or under eat.It is such a fine line and what works for one does not work for another.
