Biggest advice...DITCH the scale! Go by how you feel daily, how your training goes, and how your clothes fit. Eating and training this way will likely add muscle, which still adds to the scale but makes the body look much better than fat. The number at your feet is only your relationship with gravity. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022886088679714516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-64795499749680561052013-02-03T13:52:53.192-05:002013-02-03T13:52:53.192-05:00slightly jealous of this calorie issue. i would go...slightly jealous of this calorie issue. i would go with protein shakes and bars, nut butters or nuts, and then i have no clue. cupcakes? :)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07713437477594582906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-17447444536077747932013-02-01T11:05:10.093-05:002013-02-01T11:05:10.093-05:00i wish i had this problem....... i can eat 3500cal...i wish i had this problem....... i can eat 3500calories in one sandwich i think.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16242805442505026193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-69871439786780331372013-02-01T09:21:59.925-05:002013-02-01T09:21:59.925-05:00That's a question you don't hear every day...That's a question you don't hear every day: how to get more calories!

Considering you don't eat meat (right?!) that would be very challenging. <br /><br />After you first posted about having your RMR tested, I have been so interested. I know that since I am getting older things will change but! I have at least stopped the gain of any more weight but even with changes in my calories in/out I am not losing. Still not wanting to go to the doctor until after the 100. Yeah, I'm smart like that.Shellyrm ~ just a country runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822262051285512641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-72884443171927445462013-01-31T10:35:29.944-05:002013-01-31T10:35:29.944-05:00My coaches had been telling me that I was not eati...My coaches had been telling me that I was not eating enough for months (dizzy all the time, no improvement in strength or explosiveness) and when you got your rmr results done, I bucked yp and got mine evaluated. I had been eating 1100-1150 at that point, and found our that my end was 1364, and with crossfit and running I had to get at least 2700 in, and the nutritionalist recommended 3000+ if I could do it. <br /><br />She was so appalled at how I had been (unintentionally) starving myself (and gaining weight still) that she demanded 30 straight days of at least 3k, even if it meant gorging on cake and milkshakes - which I did faithfully.<br /><br />I initially put on 5lbs, but by the end of the gorgefest, I was back down to 155. Since then I have had the same struggle to get enough good foods in. My coaches have worked with me, and pounded into my head that fat is not bad - you need it to regenerate and burn, sugar is your enemy. Tough lesson, but here's what I've changed.<br /><br />1. Switched from egg whites to eggs<br />2. 2% to full fat milk<br />3. Protein all day with every snack and meal - burger patties are my vest friends<br />4. Brought peanut butter back into my life<br />5. Nuts, and more nuts<br />6. Drinking one to two protein shakes a day because i just cannot eat enough chicken. I ha e a sensitive stomach, so I drink the shamrock farms rockin' refuels - 190 cal, 30g protein, 6g sugar, 4.5 g fat. Perfect balance for me<br />7. THROW AWAY THE SCALE - since I made this switch to clean, I've gone up 5lbs, but reduced my body fat percentage by 5%, so it's all muscle. I proudly weigh 161 (5'6) and am at 25% body fat, which is 'moderately lean'. My clothes fit differently, but better, and I feel like a super hero. I've made huge progress in strength, stamina, overall energy, and I only weigh myself when I get my bf tested (every 3 months)<br /><br />I am still struggling with the sugar - mostly the peanut m&ms at 2pm daily - but i'be cut grains out completely 6 days a week, and that works for me.<br /><br />You can totally do this. You train hard, you need to eat just as hard. Think of it as part of your training. Wake up in the morning and tell yourself "I need to run x distance, and do this brick, and eat 6 meals, and they all must have protein". Put your goals on the calendar just like your workouts.<br /><br />I've been able to change because you had the courage to bring this up. I know you can own it like a boss!<br /><br />Happy 31st!

(My birthday is on Tuesday!) Celebrate all month long... makes it better! :)<br /><br />I have no advice on the calorie intake. I mean, I can tell you how to get calories, but it won't help you in Ironman training! :) And I have the exact opposite of your metabolism. I look at food and gain 6 pounds. I'm anxious to hear what people suggest though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771758178064698651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-14513077372492797222013-01-31T08:54:54.433-05:002013-01-31T08:54:54.433-05:00Birthdays are always awesome.

A number is just that, a number. ...whether it's age, weight, height, or your RMR! haha<br /><br />I will admit though that I've forgotten my own birthday - two years in a row in fact. I would love to make a celebration of it, but I always end up busy and it goes by without a thought.<br /><br />Training food! Every so often, I tally my food intake for a few days to see how much I "normally" eat. I've never had my RMR tested though I'd love to know what it is. I range anywhere from maybe 1800 calories on a lazy day to 6000+ in the peak of training. I admit that it CAN be a lot of food. The best thing I've found is eating it throughout the day. Don't focus on three to five portioned meals, but include snacks along the way. That many calories all at once certainly brings the stomach to near explosion. I also haven't gone beyond my 10 pound range in years, so no ill effects of changing my caloric intake as of yet.<br /><br />The biggest thing in my opinion is how you feel. If you feel good on less or more calories, that's fine. As long as you have enough energy, the body will adjust the weight.Kurt @ Becoming An Ironmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865313303891773591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-949322974883061712013-01-31T08:51:24.974-05:002013-01-31T08:51:24.974-05:00Happy Birthday Week Tonia!!!

Can you add more calorie dense foods like nuts and avocado? Use more oil (obv. the healthier ones) when you cook? Eat more frequent calorie dense meals so you don't feel stuffed?
