Managing the Bernstein eating plan


Whoops, I forgot to add my bullet proof coffee to the totals, so another 500 calories and 60g fat making 3,500. I seem to need around 3,500 calories per day to maintain weigh (12 3/4 stone, 80kg, 178lb). A couple of months ago I sat down and detailed all my food intake and exercise into one of the apps (my fitness pal I think), and it said my forecast weight was 12 3/4 stone, exactly as I am. My exercise equated to around 400 calories. I found it quite hard to balance calories and protein. Carbs is easy, but now I seem to have it sorted, with the help of 500 calories from bulletproof coffee. If you reduce calories you loose Weight. I would like to put a little on.
 
Forgot to add my daily bulletproof coffee. 500 calories 60g fat (1g carb 1g protein)
 

Ian how lucky are you!!! If I ate 3,500 calories ( even when running daily ). I'd be massive ( especially under the stomach ).

It just goes to show just how unique we all are when it comes to diet and diabetes.

Have you always been able to eat like this? Remember that Olympic swimmer Philips? He supposedly at 12,000 calories a day while in training.

I'm going to be cursing you while I eat my 1,500 calories a day which means 2 bread sticks and a tiny piece of cheese for lunch (-; and struggling not to gain any weight
 

What weight are you? You must weigh a lot less than myself. I am 6'-2" BMI 22 to maintain my weight my calculated calorie intake requirement is 3,000. I burn around 500 calories in exercise. I struggle to eat 3,500 calories, I wish it were less, which it was some 8 months ago, but I lost a stone in a Month.... Now back on and trying to maintain it

Have you checked your predicted weight on 1,500 calories with one of the online weight calculators? Worth doing.
 

Amazing. My height is 5'9.75" now I've shrunk about an inch or more.

I'm 192lbs with a lot of muscle but stomach fat that is under the muscles.

Supposedly I should weigh 173lbs or less. My basal calculation in calories to maintain that weight is under 1,600.

In my case this does not seem the case. Wish I had your problem (-;
