If you do just want to dive into something, then I would suggest starting with a calorie target of 10-12 calories per current lb of bodyweight. So, if you weigh 170 lbs for example, your calorie budget would fall between 1700-2040 calories. It is always best to start at the higher end, then adjust based on 2 weeks of consistency with it. I would recommend aiming for 0.7+ grams of protein per lb of body weight, and…

PS: you asked the other poster about recipe sites. If I look for inspiration I love eatthismuch.com. Because I can enter a calorie target, what I like and dont like, and it will show me ideas. Only use it for single meals though, planning whole weeks I find a bit teadious, but if that gets you rolling go for it :D.

I use tdeecalculator.net to figure out what my intake should be and then plug that into eatthismuch.com to help me figure out foods to eat. Unfortunately, there is no option to take away acid reflux meals or meals with dairy, but if you make your meals, it’s easy to not add those things (ex. It may say eat a breakfast omelet with the works, but I’ll make an egg white omelet with non-triggering veggies and no…

Googling sirloin steak calories or go to eatthismuch.com is not consistent on what the nutritional values are for meat. And meat is a good source of protein.. I have been tracking for 3 days and the trend is that eat too many carbs.. Almost everything in my pantry is carb or have some carbs on it. And too little protein.

Planning ahead makes all the difference. Another good tip is to front load as much as possible so you’re not getting to the end of your day with a large amount of protein to consume in order to hit your goal. I like apps like Eat This Much to help with meal ideas.

It might be worth checking out eatthismuch.com Before my preop liquid, I had to be on 1200 calorie and the site helped. I typically chose “Keto” or Vegetarian, and I couldn’t have something, swapped it out. It was helpful getting away from my typical chicken, rice, broccoli.

Nutrition: Target 8-12 calories per Lb of bodyweight. Target 0.8-1.2 grams of protein per Lb of goal weight. Plan protein calories first, then fill the rest of your meals with calories from carbs and fats in whatever ratio you like, within your calorie target. I like this app to help with ideas for meals: http://eatthismuch.com and lots of water. I have a 64 oz jug that I fill multiple times per day.

It makes it seem like that when you start the app but you can use the ad version instead. If you want to use another app that doesnt sync data then eatthismuch.com is pretty good and web based. I used it when figuring out recipies and macros for different days worth of meals.

Now let’s look at protein content of a whole turkey. Let’s assume you eat it bones and all to make the maths simpler which comes out to 195g/kg (data from eatthismuch.com). Looking at a typical bean (we could get much higher protein if we picked eg soy beans) like a kidney bean it has 240g/kg (dry, obviously less when cooked). An 8 litre pressure cooker can fit 2kg of beans but let’s err on the side of caution…

You need to start small. Familiarize yourself with tracking food. Learn how to cook for your own goals. Eliminate or alter small habits that resulted in where you are. YOu are in the journey for the long run. No one can really give you a straight up meal plan to follow unless you want to speak to a dietitian, but some good resources are people like Josh Cortis over on youtube (meal prep based youtuber since you…

So what I plan to use eatthismuch.com for is generate the meal plan then order home delivery online every 2-4 weeks. It would be helpful to see the monthly cost up front since then it is easier vary the meals more. I’d see the price change immediatelly instead of having to jump over to another tab and add the grocery good to the cart.

My favorite website for nutrition is eatthismuch.com, they have everything. I type in 1000 grams of a food (white rice, for example), then divide the grams of carbs, fat, and protein by 1000 in order to have nutrition info for one gram of the food (eatthismuch rounds the numbers if you just ask for info about 1 gram). I weigh my food and multiply this info by the # of grams to get the macronutrient breakdown of…
