My weight is at a dead standstill and has been for a while. Is it possible that I'm not eating enough? This week I've been taking a friend to the dentist and eating has been spotty. Yesterday we went for the third time and halfway there I remembered that I hadn't eaten breakfast. We were tied up until 4:30 in the afternoon. That's when I got my first bite of anything for the day except a piece of sugarless gum, which I chewed to death. Before someone asks why I didn't find a restaurant, there weren't any near there and I needed to stay with my friend in with the dentist as she has a hearing problem and couldn't understand anything he said. So, when I got home I had a couple omelet muffins (the muffins are each about 1/2 of an egg, a tablespoon of grated cheese, 1/4 of a mushroom, a couple chopped pieces of bell or jalapeno pepper and about two spinach leaves - and 1/2 piece of Canadian bacon) and three boiled shrimp. Then later I had the tortilla/pie crust with a little cheese and one more shrimp. Then it was bedtime. The day before was much the same, except that I remembered to take a couple omlet muffins with me, so ate them earlier. We stopped at a restaurant on the way home and I ordered a grilled chicken salad, which was yucky, so I only ate half. I suspected that it was high carb because the chicken was weird (marinated), so I don't know what I did to myself there. I ate the rest of the lettuce with 5 boiled shrimp on it for supper. I wonder if they treat that lettuce so it doesn't turn brown so quick and what's in the stuff they treat it with if, in fact, they do. I'm trying to stay away from a lot of cheese as it plugs me up.
I've been trying to stay around 10 carbs per day, tracking on fitday, and many days the calories are under 1000 - sometimes closer to 600. So am I screwing up?
