[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are eating the wrong stuff.  It isn’t a portion thing it is a choice thing.  If you truly are working out/decent cardio for 90 min a day, you are eating the wrong things.

Can you type of schedule of everything you typically eat in a day and when/how long/what you do for cardio/exercise.

I will help you and then in a few months you can thank me.[/quote]

I'm not getting 90 minutes of cardio daily -- typically I will get 90 minutes of cardio 2-3 times a week, the other days 30 minutes of cardio plus a walk or yoga or something like that.

There's a difference between what I want to eat and what I do eat because I'm trying to lose weight. But let's say a typical day, eating enough so I'm not hungry every day, would look something like this:

Breakfast - 1 light English muffin with avocado and two poached or fried eggs on it
Lunch - either dinner leftovers (a protein i.e. pork chop or chicken) plus vegetables or a canned soup & almond flour crackers and cheese, then will follow it up with a yogurt with keto-friendly granola or fruit or chocolate chips in it.
Dinner - large helping of the night's protein, chicken, salmon, beef, whatever, plus vegetables, try to avoid the night's carb that I've made for the kids (potatoes, mac & cheese, rice, dinner roll) but usually succumb and have a small helping.

Also throughout the day it's not inconceivable I'll also snack a bit or have sugar-free ice cream or something for dessert.

But this is not what I'm eating right now, as I'm doing WW and actively trying to lose weight. The previous menu is a menu that would keep hunger at bay for me. My current eating (yesterday) looked like this:

Breakfast - none. Just coffee with a splash of milk
Lunch - two scrambled eggs with leftover baked salmon.
Snack - Oikos zero yogurt with raspberries
Dinner - homemade buffalo chicken wrap - low carb tortilla, lettuce, tomato, grilled chicken breast w/ buffalo sauce, little bit of low-fat blue cheese dressing, little bit of corn and black beans, six veggie tots
I also did 110 minutes of cardio yesterday, 20 minutes in the morning (Peloton) and then another 90 minutes after lunch (cardio tennis workout).

Thanks for help; would love to thank you in a few months![/quote]

NP Good info. I'm doing similar. It's working but I'm impatient now. I can't wait to reach my goal weight. Finally.[/quote]
