hello I had very high blood sugar and doc said I had diabetes- he gave me insulin and metformin-I took the pills and almost total cut sugar I lost about 40 lbs and sugar is normal now my question is my diet now --It seems like weight lost has come to a halt
My meals are morning 2-3 scrambled eggs slice wheat toast with cinnamon
Around 10am I have some oatmeal. Lunch is grilled chicken breast with broccoli and some almonds
dinner is either chicken pork or lean grilled steak with spinish or broccoli I drink plenty of water and have only one ice coffee with sweet low I don't snack or drink do have protein shake with slim milk do you guys think I need to count calories closely or mix things up- I hit gym 3-4 solid days a week with 30min cardo and lifting. I weigh 192lbs 35yrs young--Thanks guys for any advice

Counting calories is the only way you'll really know how much you're eating. Most people who don't count grossly over/underestimate (depending on the goal) how much they're actually consuming.

These days, it's easier than ever with sites like Livestrong and/or apps like MyFitnessPal. More importantly, you need to work out your TDEE so you know your maintenance calories, then develop a meal plan around that. Check out the stickies at the top of this forum.

The macro calorie thing seems to be popular these days. I've never counted calories before.

It might be hard work to count you calories everyday, but you will start to know more and more every day. Later on you won't have to count it any more. You will know whats going on, and know how much of what to eat.
