I’m not a fan of chicken, but I eat a lot when I get hungry. Usually I grill some breasts on Sunday then I have plenty for salad all week for lunch. I
The flavored tuna packets are a good go-to snack. My favorite is the jalapeno, but less than 100 calories and 18 g of protein. Doesn't fill you up, but it satiates the "I'm
hungry."
I’ve experimented w/ counting calories several times in the past. I work out moderate to heavy so 2750-3000 is break even. I found anything more than -500 cal/day hard to maintain for more than a month…hunger just becomes overwhelming. -250 was much more realistic, can usually get there with plenty of fresh veggies to fill up my stomach. -250 is ~ 1 lb lost every 2 weeks, but that’s 26 lbs in a year. I’d MUCH rather lose 26 lbs over a year than in 2-3 months…For any of you guys watching calories what do set for your goal for the day? I've been trying to keep it right around 1,400 per day after figuring in my work out. Some days are easier to do than others.
I don’t know what you should be eating, but I’ve been trying to get 200g/day over this last week, while still staying at or below 2050 calories/day and found it really hard to do unless you’re living off tuna packets and Greek yogurt.What should I be shooting for to help gain back some good stuff? 200 grams/day?? Less/more?

Yah I will slowly build it back up. I usually jump start the firs three to four weeks like this. It helps me see some instant progress otherwise I lose interest.
This is something my wife has trained me not to say.My wife is doing weight watchers
After I read this I was curious how many weight watchers points elk was. I saw a couple different point values but from weight watchers it says 2 pts for 3 oz. The website does not do elk any favors when it talks about flavor, texture, or cooking IMO.We are eating a lot of chicken too. My wife is doing weight watchers and chicken is zero points. It’s a good source of protein without the calories.
My Dad was on statins and best summary is that statins maintain stasis. As in, there was little change in his existing activities and diet so the statins maintained where he was at slightly elevated, not dangerously elevated.Went to the doctor for my annual physical last week and got assigned what I thought I would: lose weight, track calories, etc. But for the first time in my life I tested for high cholesterol - by a slim margin. And the doctor wants to assign a statin of some sort. I think its a little early for that, especially when he already has me doing things that should make me healthier, but he argues that my family heart history says I should be on them now - even at 41 - since my dad's side of the family is prone to early heart attacks. I talked him off the ledge and to give me 90 days to religiously track calories and see what happens.
Anyone here on statins of some sort and having negative side effects? Some of the stuff I have researched makes it sound like they give you lingering issues in exchange for not maybe dying of a heart attack.
