After a bit of experimenting, I put on weight if I go over 1050, stay same on about 950-1050, lose if go below that.
Anyone else had their body screwed up by long covid or something else piling on the weight? Body is screwed up enough from covid infections, so need to tackle the post infection weight gain.

Tips for someone who now has a fair amount to lose, can't exercise and very limited energy to cook, bedbound some days and ltd freezer space? I've already cut out alcohol, biscuits, cheese, chocolate etc. I was hoping for something sustainable and realistic as have a fair amount to lose now.

Oh, and consultant at hospital on an unrelated matter casually commented on my weight and asked how if I stopped eating chips every night or tried to stick to 2,000 calories a day, it might help me. Do medical professionals start treating you differently if you're fat? I want to minimise getting any more sick.

@menora - However someone chooses to restrict their calorie intake, if they take in fewer calories than they expend they will lose weight. if you ate 1000 calories of chocolate bars a day you'd lose weight if your TDEE was 1200 calories or more. Hell, I lost weight on Slimming World green days in the past eating lots of pasta.
