30 Day Nutrition Challenge (Page 3)

Without actual testing, it's always a guesstimate, but here's a calculator for basal metabolism:

And here is a pretty comprehensive list of calorie counts for activities:

craftyazgal - 2009-02-19 6:20 PM So I go to weigh in tonight and then consume a bunch of crap since this starts tomorrow right Just kidding. However I don't have anything planned but I feel like crap I have been eating cookies and chocolate the last few days. My body feels better when I eat healthier so why such a draw to the crap. If someone could figure this out they would be a millionaire.

simple. Fat has 9 calories per gram (4 per gram of protein/carb), so it's the preferred method of storage for when times are lean. Your body is hardwired to want fat.

So Mr. nutrition expert are you "IN"? Going to show us how to do it?

I thought I put IN earlier?

...goes looks...

Oops. Blank. Yeah, that's been about my day today.

Yeah, I'm in. I'm great at talking the talk, but I don't walk the walk so much. Although this was a much better week, I only fell off the wagon (hell, f'n leaped off the wagon yesterday) once.

I need to see if I can get down below 170, Jot doesn't think I can...

My healthy foods are packed and my nutrition log is filled in for today.

If I eat more/less or at a different time than I expect then I'll adjust it tonight.

My daily total is better today than the other day I practiced. Today is:

1541 calories, 273.29g carbs, 88.55g protein, 22.38g fat

 I just remembered my No Pudge brownie is on the counter ready to put in a baggie. I'll add that tonight when I know when I ate it

I'll play:
