challenge "World Carnivore Month" January Challenge!
Getting toward the end of the Carnivore month. This last week I gained 4 pounds. I have been eating like a horse (or I feel that way) to get my daily protein up to the .7-1.0 grams per pound of bodyweight. There was a thread some months back on the use of protein shakes to boost protein intake. Not that I am all that smart. but at the time I commented I could see where hitting that protein mark would be hard for me. I was eating OMAD, not the least bit hungry, and since my wife was at the beach that week, I actually waited to eat on the next day. The weight was still falling off. Fast forward and I am in the same boat. I could easily eat once a day and be perfectly content. I'm lifting more now trying to add some muscle, off-set natural muscle loss form age, and at the same time trying to off-set the issues of my auto-immune disease. Even with the extra effort in the gym I am still not all that hungry. This week I gained four pounds. I feel some bulk in my chest but nothing massive. I'm hoping some of the weight is muscle. Time will tell. Hoping to plain off and be around this weight at the end of the month. Scott- carnivore challenge

CICO
I get the side about calories being a measurement and not actual mass. The science is straight forward. After all this time it is now more of a play on words. I had a 'right out of school Engineer who brought his brand-new Engineering degree to our plant. He made it a point to "factually" correct anything we said, mostly to pull himself ahead of the 'crowd'. He got me on a few occasions. I used the word 'factor' in a training session, and he made it a point to let everyone know that I meant to 'stoic calculation'. I smiled and moved on. Weeks later, he gave a presentation, and he was explaining how they were going to build up and plane down a sealing surface of a plastic housing. He said we are going to use Bondo to make the repair. I seized the opportunity and said, "What he meant to say was body-filler, as Bondo is a name of a brand, not an actual filler material. In both cases everyone knew exactly what the two of us said, but we made a point with a play on words. Most refer to calories with an 'understood definition'. I'm eating way less than I ever ate and I have dropped 86lbs in 8 months. The difference now is the lesser amount is more filling than the trash diet I was on before. The lesser amounts have allowed my body to use the fat I stored for energy. Thus, the weight dropped, and the composition changed. If I used the term calories and counted them, my "calorie" intake is far less than it was before. If I plugged in different terms, such as mass or proteins, or eggs or steaks, the amounts are less than they were before. As of late I have tried to stall the weight loss, and I have done that thru adding an extra meal(s) each day. When I eat more than I want, mostly eating when not hungry, I have triggered a stall of sorts and gained 4lbs this week. Scott -

challenge "World Carnivore Month" January Challenge!
Like you, I never started the carnivore for losing weight. I did end up losing "weight", probably liquid and a bit of fat. At a 135 lbs. I've eaten up to 2700 calories a day and I would not gain a pound. I think we are dealing with fluctuations that have nothing to do with calories. As for nutrient dense, beef yes. And then there's the difference between feeling heavy and bloated. So I would not panic.- carnivore challenge
