Calories

by PurpleDragon @ Thursday, 25. Jun, 2009 – 16:31:53

I have been thinking I have been eating WAY too many calories for my size, and so I looked up how many calories and grams of fat (a guideline) I should consume daily.

I have discovered that I should be having between 1050 and 1300 calories per day to achieve weight loss. To maintain my weight I should have up to 1500. Doesn't sound much does it?

Except we are already at 5.30 pm and I have only consumed 918 calories and that includes my evening meal.

And apparently I can have up to 65g of fat. Surely not? Isn't that a HUGE amount of fat? I've had 23.3 grams so far.

Hmm. I haven't added my milk intake, but it is semi skimmed so that is only 47 calories per 100ml.

I guess it all adds up.

In other news, a pal of mine said I look like I've lost loads of weight and I'm looking "right skinny". She's being flattering, but it was nice anyway

Had to laugh at those charts of your calorie intake...measured mine once and I should have been eating loads more for my size, which is ridiculous as I was needing to lose weight not put it on... GBHs...XXX

Bleghhh..Calories! I hate that word. Am sick of looking on the back of packets to see how many it contains!

Don't forget though that the calories you burn off can also get added back on to your daily total..Therefore giving you extra calories to consume..Or not used will speed up your weight loss.. I know which one id go for..Its not alot of calories for a whole day really..Especially when a slice of white bread contains around 100calories!

Your doing really well..And I bet you have lost weight and are looking good..You just don't notice it as you see your self everyday and as its graudual to you. xx

  I have to say that I feel as if I have lost weight, even if my scales claim I haven't. I guess it must be turning to muscle

I hear you my friend. It is amazing how many calories food actually has and you are smart to start counting as there are 'hidden' calories everywhere! x
