I finally got my Tanita Body fat scale today. I have a meeting with the trainer tomorrow to measure my body fat percentage. So my plan is to use the scale and then go to see the trainer to determine the calibration needed for the scale.

Using the info from Racing Weight here is todays break down:

8 hours desk work = 895 calories

1 hour swimming = 600 calories

1 hour running = 900 calories

14 hours being sedentary = 14 * 85 = 1190 ( estimated BMR is 2050 per day or 85/hr)

Total = 3585 Calories burned for a Caloric deficit today of 1012.

Calories: 2573 From fat:672.57 (77.06g, 26.14%), From Carbs:1272.1 (327.96g, 49.44%), Protein:628.33 (161.99g, 24.42%)

Saturday - August 28

Bike

3h 09m 43s
50.11 miles
15.85 Mi/hr

My first 50 mile ride. This one was tough because it was on the hills around my house, not on the swamp rabbit trail.

I noticed after mile 33 that my bike endurance took a dive. Now this could be caused by several reasons, but I need to keep training these longer distances.

4280 calories burned.
