Caloric intake Accurate? New
 | Hi, RV Traveler, and welcome. SWG stands for sprouted whole grain. See an article on the topic here https://www.trimdownclub.com/what-is-swg-bread. |
| | Hi, 1earthcrone. The amount of food is based on your nutritional needs for what would be your goal weight – it seems like a lot because this is not a diet, but rather how you should be eating at a good weight WITHOUT being hungry. Eating enough and exercising, with gradual, healthy weight loss, is the most reliable route to longterm success. |
 | I am new and have a question. What is this SWG? |
 | I love the Weekly Diet Plan but it seems like way too many calories. How can I lose weight? |
| | The plans are designed according to BMI. Though we don’t operate according to calories, I can assure you 100% that they are not 1500-1800, but that the range is 1600-2400. As you progress, the program will start factoring in physical activity and a maintenance vs. loss arrangement. |
 | Yeah I’m concerned with this diet cutting too extreme for me as well (especially in the beginning), I am not the normal woman, I am too thin at 160lbs at 5’11” have large bones and a lot of muscle though most charts have my ideal to be 145lb. Are these menu plans taking into consideration current height and weight and decreasing caloric intake as weight decreases? A one size fits all plan of 1500 to 1800 for all doesn’t seem like the individualized program this site is touting. |
| | The weekly average of your plan should be about 1800 or more. When you reach your goal weight, it will be upgraded to 2000 calories, with less than 25% of calories from fat, less than 50% of calories from carbs, and about 25% of calories from protein. |
 | Hi, I’m new to trimdownclub as of today. But I am not new to heathy living and excersise. My wife and I decided to try to clean up our diets extremely tight for the new year. I am almost 34/M 6ft1 typically 195-200lbs on moderate diet. Gained some extra lbs over the holiday and modivated to get back into peak shape. when I was 31 I stuck to an excercise and eating plan strictly and dropped to 178 and 10%bf however this was a 30 day fade impossible to stick to program. Anyhow, I just summarized my daily caloric intake from my recipe plan and it was under 1700 calories….my question? is this enough to avoid starvation mode? typically I try to eat at least 2000 calories roughly as an ectomorph breakdown appr =Protein 200, carb 231, fat 66 |
