[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. So fruit and corn are bad? No yogurt?

Today I had a small bowl of oatmeal (160 calories), a leftover sausage link (140 calories) and piece of corn (150 calories), and I was planning to grill some salmon for dinner.

Supposedly an 8 oz piece is around 300 calories. Is that too much for a diet?

I also had an apple already (80 calories) and I was hoping to have a bowl of fruit and a yogurt later for "dessert".

I guess I am still eating too many calories?[/quote]

You aren’t eating the right macros. It’s not about calories. Plus 120 is fine, you do not need to lose.[/quote]

Everyone says dieting is "[b]calories in, calories out[/b]."[/quote]

LCalories in calories out” IS true but HOW your body uses calories is quite individual. That is, your particular levels of ghrelin, leptin, and the sensitivity of your insulin response is unique, shaped by both genetics and your lifetime history of eating (and sleeping).

I think this is what people mean when they say CICO doesn’t explain things. It’s also the reason why some people (but certainly not all!) find it so much easier to lose weight on a low carb diet, especially if they have naturally lower levels of ghrelin and borderline high blood sugar.[/quote]
