Stuck again

I think I'm stuck again.  Looking at my 14 day spreadsheet, I'm staying within the same two pounds, insulin TDD is about the same, etc.

I'm trying to spread my calories out throughout the day better, one theory if that I put my body in starvation mode by not eating all day.

So I've been doing a protein bar in the morning, lunch, something small after school, workout and eat after the workout.

I've only been doing that this week.  And I'd like to switch the protein bar to something a bit more high fiber.  I am going to see about bringing in some microwave oatmeal and see how that works, I can always do that in a paper cup in the microwave.

I can't really add any more exercise, as the cold fronts are bothering my knees.

    This is what I try to do also, space out my eating throughout the day. So for breakfast I like to eat nuts, but I think I might switch to the oatmeal sometimes. Then I wait acouple of two or three hours, and then add fruit. Then do something at lunch, and then something before dinner, all small stuff. I did good this week, and was surprised that I dropped 3 lbs. I don’t think that I bring in enough calories and like you said, it will shut our system down. Trial and error I guess, but we keep moving forward.
