[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are you tracking your calories? Unless you are weighing your food you may be consuming more calories than you think. Especially if you are eating back calories from exercise.

The thing thats worked the best for me post turning 40 was doing a combination of IF and counting macros and lifting heavy weights. When I did that it seemed the weight just melted off and I loved the way I looked. Because I was focused on getting enough protein but allowing a moderate amount of carbs I never felt miserable (but did still feel a little hungry at times). Eventually it became hard to keep up because I basically had to have no social life. I had to be solely focused on eating healthy and counting calories at all times.

I am not as strict now and am okay with carrying an extra 5-7 lbs. I still like the way I look and can enjoy the foods I like in moderation and have my wine.[/quote]

I have been tracking calories for 15 years so I am not a newb. I def gained 20lb on 1600/day.
Ugh I am already miserable with the 1600, constant hunger and insomnia.[/quote]
