So I just want to start by saying I've still lost 1,3 lbs in the last 6 days. The problem is I've hade an increasingly hard time to restrict my intake the last couple of weeks, and it has gotten worse the last few days. For example I eat about 700 kcal worth of peanuts spread out over the day, and I regularly eat half a portion extra at dinner. Some days I've eaten 3000 kcal, but on average about 2800.
Breakfast today was a slice of rye bread with butter and 3 slices of cheese, one bell pepper, two boiled eggs, coffe with half a cup of full fat milk with a hefty amount of wipped cream on top. While waiting for the eggs to boil I had a handful of peanuts, two extra slices of cheese and half a table spoon of nut butter. The wipped cream and snacking while waiting wasn't planned.
My TDEE is really high, I think about 3400 due to daily exercise, breastfeeding and pumping milk (I pump about 700 ml a day more than my baby eats). The real concern isn't the deficit, but the lack of control. I don't deliberately eat this much, it's the food noise that has gotten really loud. It started when I had to up my intake from 2000 to 2500 kcal due to too rapid weight loss and feeling faint. I lost more than 3 lbs a week before upping my intake.
I'm f40, 5'4, 159 lbs, I do intense exercise about 20 minutes a day and 30 to 60 minutes of leisure walking daily. I'm almost 3 months post partum. SW was 217 lbs.
Just to be clear, I'm not looking for ways to go back to a deficit of 1000+ kcal, I'm looking for advice about how to get back on track with eating measured meals and snacks rather than grazing and having unplanned seconds or snacks while preparing my food.
TLDR: Lately I've had a hard time sticking to my calorie goals. I'm still in a deficit, but the trend is alarming. How can I turn this around and eat what I plan rather than giving in to food noise?
