Calorie Counting

[d000hg]

I hate the principle of CC and everything it stands for, but as a bit of a scientific experiment I thought I would try recording what I eat and drink. And for a geek, it's quite interesting to to.

For instance apparently I still have 150kCal to spare today, to meet my goal of losing 2lb a week, after all meals and snacks, and I have deliberately not altered my diet.

Does make it even more irritating though, that I am exercising AND have what is a decent diet, and still not losing the weight. 1400kCal a day, and exercising, come on give me a break.

Maybe I am secretly an incredibly efficient body. Yes that must be it, I am a marvel and my tummy is a badge of how amazing I am.

Try reading Gary Taubes stuff, everything we are told about diet/weight loss/health is wrong.

1400 cals a day plus exercise? You're not eating enough...

Take the advice I have given you several times .. Swallowing your pride will not add any calories.

Are you a short woman?

Sure I am. Let me regale you with my exciting menu for today...

Breakfast:
Decent-sized bowl of choco-squares
Tea with 1 sugar
432 calories...

Lunch:
4X rye-bread, 4X cheese triangle
large raw carrot, chunk of cucumber
1 biscuit
green tea
326 calories

Dinner:
2 hashbrowns
1/2 tin beans
2 fried eggs
2 cups of white coffee
539 calories

Misc:
Another cup of tea and another biscuit
109 calories

No tiny portions, no salad, not even anything deliberately healthy other than lunch.

The killer would be desserts (not a big draw) and snacking on crisps and Snickers (a very big draw).

I was very surprised how few calories I've ended up with TBH.

edit: this kind of boring tulip is why I hate CC

Well I am 5'8" but used to be 9-10stone so I am very slender when in shape.

By eating a carp diet you definitely won't go back to it.

Plus if you are able to now build muscle take advantage and build some.....

Hmm, when a fattie claims they can't lose weight due to a medical condition everyone normally jumps in "it's simple maths, weight-change = calories in - calories out, you're just lazy"
