...should i eat a day? I'm about 180 lbs ..5'6...i have a pearish hour glass shape..so i'm leaner up top and heavier bottom...i wanna lose about 40 lbs...i use to be 135-140 and i felt that was the weight that was right for my body...not too skinny or too chunky...anyways i think this is the diet for me because high protein really does curb and satisfy my appetite...even when i indulge a bit i dont feel heavy like how eating too much carb makes u feel...for instance..the other day i ate 3 tilapia fish..so thats about 6 oz...at a 100 cal each....22 grams of protein each...and than i ate another 4 oz of chicken..thats about another 22 grams of protein.....135 cal...plus i ate like a couple of bites of wheat pasta....i oven baked both fish and chicken with olive oil and spice....so i'd estimate that at one sitting i ate about 550 cal...and over 90 grams of protein...i felt full but not heavy....and i didnt get that lazy feeling after u've eaten too much....
let me tell u i am an eater....i could eat like constantly throughout the day..even at 135 i was eating a lot but i also work out a lot too...anyways when i stopped being active...the lbs just started packing on....i could eat low cal but i cant seem to drop the lbs and i feel heavy all the time even when im hungry....although i still didnt introduce exercising back into my life....i just find it odd that i can eat all i want and just exercising helps me maintain the weight....
anyways sorry fro ranting...i figured this is a good diet for me but how many grams of protein should i eat to maximumn weight loss? how many grams of healthy whole grain of carbs should i eat a day? how many calories total should i eat a day?
