Day one...this is awful Female, 32, 5’9’’. Current weight: 186lbs, goal 150lbs.

I’d forgotten how much this sucks. 1600 cals, it’s 5pm here and I’m sleepy and grumpy.

I was supposed to be eating 1500 but I was starving today so I googled my TDEE, it looks to be about 1950 sedentary. I’ll try 1600 for this week and try going for a few walks.

I do like exercise, I’m planning on going back to the gym. I’ve maintained with intuitive eating for the last 5 months, but I want to get back into the healthy weight category.

Does it always suck on day one? Will it suck less? How can I optimise my calories for fullness? I’m a good cook and I’m trying to focus on fibre and protein.
