Day 5 with the BMF - somehow down 1.8 lbs from yesterday.
This is getting interesting. I bought the BMF to help me establish a maintenance calorie level, now that I'm just about at my weight/body fat percentage goal (I have at least a few more pounds of fat left to burn, but I could stop losing right now and be fine with it).
The BMF numbers looked dramatically wrong to me - if they were right, I was seriously underestimating my calorie burn and running a much larger deficit than I thought. Well, yesterday was supposedly another 3900 calorie burn day. In the 5 days I've had the BMF, I've bumped up the amount I've eaten by roughly an extra meal, 400 to 500 calories. And apparently all this has done has been to kick me off the starvation plateau I didn't even know I was on, and get the weight loss back in gear, because I'm down two pounds now, in less than a week.
That's quite a problem to have, right? Losing too much weight by eating an extra meal every day?
I guess I'm reluctantly starting to agree that the BMF may be more accurate than I thought. Since I do have a window of a few pounds left to burn, I'll just keep slowly ramping up the calorie intake...not going to jump it up 1400 calories overnight. And I'm not going to slow down my activity level; the pretty moderate exercise I get feels good and has some obvious health benefits. I guess I just have to eat more.
How I do this is going to be an interesting question. Since I've cut out so much junk food, it's actually kinda hard to eat that much more, when the food I do eat keeps me feeling pretty much full already. Guess I'll just have to start chowing down on a lot more nuts; those are pretty dense in good calories.
The whole process is interesting, if nothing else....I just hope I can find a way to reach my maintenance level before I completely disappear!
