ReIntro
Hi Im back after 20 years ans need to eat better and get back to where I was when I felt stronger and had more energy.
I heard if you go 5 years and have your weight still off you are a success. I am a success story just going through a rough patch right now.
Need help w/ what my counts should be to rebuild myself to continue being a success.
At this stage you can eat any food that you want. You need to eat the correct amount of calories for your weight. Multiply your current weight by 10 (12 for a male). That is how much you need to eat each day to stay at that weight. To lose one pound a week subtract 500 calories a day. Subtract 1000 calories a day to lose 2 pounds a week. Any more that that is usually not sustainable.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
At this point im happy w/ my weight altho not sure how much but size 8-10. For me and please everyone...how much protien..ive lost so much muscle since bcoming homeless 2 years ago...shelters only feed ya sugars and carbs for the most part....right now im tracking my food intake...im getting around 1400k but that doesnt count walking and such.

It sounds like you've been through a rough patch for sure; I'm sorry and hope things are getting better for you. My goal is 80 grams of protein per day; some people target high or lower though, depending on what they need/feel best at.
