calorie question, any ideas?
ok. I usually don't count calories...but I tried that fit day and put in what I have eaten so far and what I plan to eat. and it came to only 782 calories.!.
do you think this is not enough? should I be trying to eat more calories or not worry about it? today I had a atkins shake for breakfast(I just can't eat in mornings) for lunch I had sphagetti squash with ground beef and splash of tomato sauce and parmesian cheese. for a snack I am planning on some strips of bacon for dinner a egg salad sandwich on celery. this is feeling to me...but I saw those calories and thought I might no be eating enough? I haven't really been losing tons of weight either. i lost the ten. gained 5 back( which I attributed to the excersice I have started) allmost back down to 10 again. though my body is losing inches still...i haven't measured but I can tell. anyway just wondering what you all thought. I couldn't believe 782 calories...it killed me.. |
What kind of calories do you guys find yourself eating?
|
IMHO that is not nearly enough calories for the day.
Jude was nice enough to send me this link to check how many calories you need in a day. http://www.healthyontario.com/engli...asp?text_id=240 That may help you determine what the right number is. Good Luck! |
I eat between 1500-1600 a day, and did the same throughout induction and OWL.

Hey thanks for the link. I looked it up and it says I should be eating 1400 at least...I guess I will try and up and see if it helps ( I guess it can't hurt)

The POINT is NOT counting cals Half the western World is FAT because of counting calories.
Lez. Ps to make a point, there are 48,000 kcals in a litre of diesel oil, |
CindyG, thanks for the website. Ive always known my BMR but never my AMR. The website was very informative. So my BMR is 1417 and my AMR is 1842. So i should keep my calorie intake between these two numbers and i should still continue to lose weight. right. I am at 144 and i want to get to 135. So i have 9-10 pds to lose. My weight has been flunctuating between 143-147. I weight daily i know thats a no no. :nono: . How many calories a day do you think i should eat a day. I know the last 10 is the hardest so what amount do you think i should eat to help me get these last 10 off. I am eating anywhere between 15-25 carbs a day.
IF anyone has any possible answers or advice it would be deeply appreciated. :agree: thanks :) |
No, the world ISN'T fat because of counting calories. The world is fat because people aren't taught a damn thing about nutrition or health...
To ndhulst, a great way to get extra calories AND nutrition is Flax oil. It contains all the essential fatty acids and a significant amount of calories in a tablespoon. Has a kinda nice nutty flavor, too. |
You mentioned Flax (but I mean the fiber, not the oil) does the body even process fiber calories?
