Mourning Cheese

I've come to the realization that I have to stop eating cheese until I reach my goal weight. It is just too many calories for not enough protein. Goodbye Brie, I love you.

Edit: OK, you have all talked me down from the ledge. I'll eat cheese - somehow in small portion controlled sizes and only once per day and only as part of a larger daily plan. Yay cheese!

That's a bummer. My life would be sad without cheese.

I hear you, there. I have a list of several things I have relegated to maintenance, because I won't spend the calories on them now. It's nice to know that one day I can have some of those things in moderation.

I Cheese!! But I respect your decision, especially as it leaves more cheese for me.

I want all cheese! But I just don't understand how it can fit in a 600ish calorie/day diet when I'm supposed to get 70g protein too. ugh.

I end up around 800-900 calories a day. But I'm 8" taller than you!

I was around 900-1000 calories at 2 months.

You are breastfeeding off 600 calories a day? Breastfeeding alone burns 300-500 calories a day.

Do you have energy?

I do have energy, somehow! At this point, my baby is almost one year old and I only breastfeed a few times in 24 hours. The 300-500 calories/day are burnt when breastfeeding a new baby that drinks non-stop! I think the amount of calories burnt breastfeeding at this point are fairly negligible.

I manage that with cheese just fine. Usually I am at 500 calories, or so. I think you could have cheese if you worked out a menu

I was just stalking the daily meal threads to see if you post and I couldn't find you. Can I ask - what is a typical day (with cheese!) like for you?
