The best advice I've gotten is quit dieting and reducing calories. Eat a decent amount so your nourished and let your body go where it goes. At that time my recommendation was 1600 calories and it still is many years later.

I don't expect you are anything close to that with what you say you are eating.

Ya it's one of those things where it's easier said then done. I'd actually be terrified to eat that much even if I had funds.

You can’t really eat carbs at noon and 5 on mixed insulin if you want good bgs. That’s the drawback of it. You have to eat fixed amounts at fixed times. You could eat something low carb at 5 maybe, or eat at 5 if you moved the other meal earlier than noon but really it’s not designed to be taken at noon it’s designed to be taken earlier that that, at breakfast time then with your evening meal.

Unable to eat before noon for many many years. And now I dont have funding. Plus the runs issue I described earlier.
The best I can do is have a dollar sugary drink at noon with the first...
 
I've decided that since I'm forced to eat twice a day now that I can probably eat 1200 calories a day. I don't need much as a nearly complete sedentary nearly 60 year old female. I do try to pedal on my indoor bike for the length of time to 2 songs every morning but 1. I don't want to gain weight on insulin like I did at first. Nor do I want to gain my weight lost back. I feel that this is my last chance at weighing less being near 60. Plus the research shows that 85 to 98 percent of people gain back their weight in 2 to 5 years. The only way to not gain weight (at least from the food u eat) is not to eat it.
