[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - I hope that was a typo that you burn 2000+ calories day. You would have to be running ultra marathons for that :-D

Have you considered giving intermittent fasting a try?

OP Here. I meant total for the entire day - as in my TDEE is somewhere around there, not just exercise calories.

Answers to other questions... I track very closely. I use a food scale, and eat pretty simply as I'm not a great cook so everything is basic. I don't track every single day but only because if I prepare a meal that I'm going to eat 2-3x, and I've already put it into My Fitness Pal and I know it's 400 calories per serving, I just count it that way. I don't snack much, because it makes me hungrier - I typically just eat lunch and dinner, with usually a "dessert" after like a greek yogurt or something like that. Meals are usually some kind of meat, a ton of vegetables, and sometimes a starch/carb. Last night for dinner, I had turkey meatloaf, green beans, and a sweet potato. I find that sort of breakdown for meals is pretty ingrained in me.

I already do intermittent fasting, but only because I'm not hungry in the mornings. And it truly comes down to calories, which is what I'm really tracking. I've done Whole30 before, hated it and didn't experience any amazing results, scale or non-scale.

And while I don't exercise for an hour every single day, I use the Madeline app which is 45-60 mins, 5 days/week. Sometimes I will workout 6 and add in something else fun, depending on schedule, etc.[/quote]

My heart goes out to you OP. I’ve had issues prior with losing weight after my first child. Many of the other posters are right. Calorie intake is high, your body need to be running at a deficit to lose the lbs. Working with a dietitian in the past helped me understand all the things I was doing to roadblock my weight loss goals. One book I’ll recommend for recipes that could be make ahead or frozen (with kids it’s not always easy to cook every night) would be the Mark Hyman, 10-day detox diet cookbook. I don’t follow the diet but do use the recipes regularly to keep on my weigh loss track. Good luck with your goals! [/quote]
