I've lost 15 pounds over the road so far. Mostly from being cheap. Also my body rejects half the truck stop food and I simply cannot eat it.

I kinda follow this approach, i eat the amount i work, if it has been a busy day i eat alot, if im just sitting around i eat very little. If you have developed a routine of eating all the time, it doesnt mean you have to keep eating like that, just eat less. I usually eat one big meal a day, and the rest of the day is bites here and there, and i try to control my cravings by having bites of stuff that i suddenly yearn for. I am hovering around my average weight for my height, and i never feel hungry.

Yeah, I just switched jobs and my last one was very physically intensive and I got older so my metabolism slowed down. I never was able to gain weight even if I tried but when I saw I hit 240 I knew it was time to do something about it. I'm 6'2 and 210 now just from counting calories. I realized the key was that if I wasn't going to cut enough on a certain day that I had to at least maintain and not gain.

I also eat a lot more fat free and low fat because I don't really notice the difference. My big problem was I wouldn't eat all day and then I would gorge at night and just go to bed. A lot of people eat until they are overly full and you can stop before that point. I noticed that if you stop eating for a few minutes the fullness will set in after a few minutes.

Eating healthy costs so much more and that is plain ridiculous.

What do you normally eat, and what is 'eating healthy' to you?

I wonder if being costed out of healthy eating is a regional thing. Where I am you can get a bunch of bananas for the same price as a standard chocolate bar; this kind of thing makes it easy to choose fruit as a snack!

Where I live frozen peas are £1.00/kilo, which I think is roughly $1.00 / 20 oz. I assume there are places within walking distance that you can buy frozen veg from (or use a delivery/online service instead), how do our prices compare to yours?

its not more expensive. Go to costco, but some chicken breasts, get some sweet potatoes, some mixed greens and good luck.

Try this, go online and find a macro-nutrient diet for your weight goals. i.e: 150g protein 220g carbs 60g fat - 2020cal. Now track what you realistically eat for about 2 weeks. Try an app like myfitnesspal or something. Youll come to find youre eating (mote likely) 100g protein 350 carbs and maybe 100-120 fats. Thats why youre gaining weight.

if you can handle a deficit cal count of 200-300 youll start losing weight. some of you will be cutting 1000+ calories. a simple conversion is 3500 cal = 1 lb. Many of overweight people have very high sodium and retain an absurd amount of water, dont quit the water, just lower the sodium to a normal level.

If any of you want a more personalized plan with specific goals in mind send me a PM. I've been dieting and lifting for a long time. 80% diet 20% workouts so work on your food.

I overeat at like every meal and can't manage to gain one pound. I feel bad for people who can get fat.
