Hi everyone. I’m back on the calorie counting train and use my fitness pal to track my calories. I find that quite a mental load on top of my job, kids and general life admin, so while I do try to eat protein rich foods I don’t reach my goal most days. I see on here all the time that you can eat what you like as long as you’re in a deficit but on the other hand most people say you need to eat loads of protein.
I’m pescatarian (eat fish but no poultry or red meat) and eat a generally healthy diet - and much more healthy than I was. I said to my husband before how much easier I’d find this if I ate chicken because it’s such a good dieter’s food (he is also losing weight and eats it most days).
I’m losing weight but really slowly - I’m F, 5ft 7, 205lbs and age 43. It’s definitely harder to shift the weight than when I was younger and I suspect I’m in perimenopause. I eat 1600 calories per day and haven’t drunk alcohol since 5th January. I do a YouTube workout most days and circuit training on Saturdays. I try to close my Apple Watch rings every day and don’t eat back my exercise calories.
