I went on a keto diet in August because I was concerned I might be pre-diabetic or something . . . cuts and insect bites on my shins were taking too long to heal. And I did love the sweets.
Anyway, in less than a month I dropped from 200 to 193 lbs. BillyD did not like the look, limbs too scrawny and the belly was unaffected at all. Since then I've been trying to put back the weight without the sweets, substituting muscle for fat, but I'm stuck on 195. Makes me wonder what big people eat to put on so much weight because it's a challenge for me meal plan wise.

Seriously, though - I watched a couple of those documentaries on TLC about super obese people. One guy I remember who was >1000 lbs ate something like a pound of bacon and a dozen eggs for breakfast, plus a box of cinnamon rolls. He couldn't get out of bed, so somebody else, a family member, was cookignt hat for him.
It was horrific.
It was horrific.

My weight has crept up a bit more than I'd like recently. my diet is ok (possibly). not great, not terrible either. my portion control is probably a little off. It's the snacks, and the alcohol that are doing it. I need to cut back on the chocolate and sweets. sugar is the debil. a tasty, tasty, addictive debil. Oh and I need to exercise more as well. #gettingfat

Some of the shows are pretty good and I find myself rooting for the patient and it's good to see them succeed and get a normal life back. They usually follow each person for a year, sometimes longer. It's amazing to see someone lose 500 pounds and, of course, skin removal surgery.

So what's this about nitrogen balance? [/b]

That was my objective, I'm totally aware of what carbs can do. Unburned carbs turn to the debil, sugar. I'm sure you've heard me skewer bread consumption here in the past. It's just that now that I've returned to a "normal" diet, sans desserts and salty snacks, I'm wondering what it will take to put some weight back on.
I guesstimated my protein needs to be 145g daily and the total calorie requirement to be 2,600. Even with a post-workout protein smoothie added to my day it's hard to get near the 145g mark. And forget about the 2,600 calories, the only time I even topped 2,000 calories was with a Wendy's chicken sandwich and small fries dinner one day. Most days I'm totaling somewhere between 1,300 and 1,700 calories.
