There are so many variations out there and just interested as to if anyone has had any results from upping their calories slightly?

Thanks in advance,

I haven't specifically tried this but what I did was I ate very small portions of protein to hunger onlly and small amounts off veggies. I didn't do fruit or melba other than frozen cranberries. So it wasn't strict protocol but I still got to within 1 lb of my goal weight of 120 and for me at 5'3 that's pretty good my round was about 30 days long and I'm stabilizing pretty well. Anyways I CANNOT and DO NOT count calories (I have 5 young kids and way too busy and it would stress me) I focus on hunger and my body cues. I tried to eat the minimal amount. I ate a lot of chicken broth fat free and egg whites for egg drop soup. I went from 138 (didn't gain anything loading) to 121 in about 30 days. I am def thinking some days I went over 500 calories. I went by hunger and didn't eat fat. If I needed more protien I added in extra servings of chicken egg whites or talipia. Occasionally had a little lean ground beef. I wasn't hungry and I lost abnormal fat and re-shaped.
