Weighed in this morning – a solid 218 – a total loss of .8 lbs since last week.
I’ve been looking at my calorie intake vs my burn and I am wondering if I am not eating enough.
According to a calculator I just did I can eat :
| If you exercise for 60 minutes each day, you will be able to reach your goal weight with 2444.3 calories per day. |
And according to the online food journal I use…
You should consume about 2250 calories a day to reach your goal weight of 195 lbs.
This is at a reasonable weight loss average of 1.5 lbs per week, which should be reached by July 05, 2009.
Remember that this estimate is based on your body weight, height, age, gender, and activity level. It may vary slightly depending on other factors.
I am averaging about 600 – 900 calorie burn per workout (avg of the course of the past 7 days), adding to my avg daily burning of 2790… that is about 3390 – 3690. I don’t even want to think about those days I burned 1500 cals during a workout and barely ate anything.
Intake wise… over the past 7 days I have avg about 1500 – 1900 calories per day.
Giving me a difference of 1790 – 1890 calories between my intake vs. burn. I have read that you should have more then 1200 calories difference?
I am wondering if I am not eating enough so when I have a cheat day all that extra is being held hostage by my body because it feels it is being starved? I think so. But we will see what happens. I will be talking to my trainer tonight and seeing what he thinks.
