Re: Does a PB Count on FitDay???

[Guest guest]

Sounds like how you're counting it is fair, but I don't think there is really any way to tell. Food coming out is physically different from food coming in, so who knows. What I have heard, though, is that it's a good idea to go back to liquids for the rest of the day on the day you have PB'd. That sort of throws off your whole count for the day anyway.

Nope, it doesn't count if you barf it!! But the protein we need is an

average over several days - you don't have to get every bit of the 50-

60 grams in every single day. some days will be a bit lower, so just

add a bit more on another day. Samw with clories. some days you might

be muich tighert than others, and able to get in less. Adda bit more

on other days. You just shouldn't be CONSISTENTLY low on protein,

fiber, or calories.

A good goal with a decent fill is about 1200-1500 cal a day, and more

if you're starting off heavier than most. The BMR calculator on fitdy

is another eye-opener! Most of us are burning off 2500-3000 cal a day

just existing and moving - so we sure were eating 10x what we needed,

if we were gaining all that weight! yikes... Sandy R

Sandy -

I'm so glad you mention that in your reply because I was just going

to ask if anyone else got a shock when seeing the amount of calories

burned just by " existing " !! Even at the lowest activity level

lifestyle in FitDay (without any additional exercise) it's amazing

that FitDay calculates we burn 2500 calories everyday. At a more

active level lifestyle it calculates we burn around 3500 calories

everyday.

Which does bring me to a puzzling question. If a person uses 2500

calories everyday regardless and only consumes 1000 calories in food

& beverage, then they are burning an extra 1500 calories per day.

And if 1 pound of weight = 3500 calories, then mathmatical it seems

expected that a person would lose at least least 1 lb every 2-1/2

days.

Granted we take into account that some days we eat more & some days

we eat less. Also, some of our burned fat is probably turning into

muscle (which weighs more, etc). I guess in a way this is

encouraging because we KNOW weight loss is is happening, however in

another way it seems discouraging because now I want to see that

darn scale move EVERY 2 DAYS!!

I'm wondering when you were banded? Or perhaps you're not yet

banded...? can't imagine that you're banded and have never heard of a

pb, or FitDay.com. Please tell us more about you, so we can help you

more.... Sandy R

PB means Barf. It is a stupid term that I hate and don't use. Barf,

puke, vomit, heave, etc, all work for me, and I don't need another

one. www.fitday.com is a website where you can track what you're

eating if you're into such things. I'm not, but it is a useful tool

for those who want to be sure they're not eating too much, getting

enough protein, etc.

I agree Dan. Doesn't it stand for Productive Burp? BULL! That's not burping!

That is heaving your guts up! I have never had a doctor use the term to me

so it is possible to be banded and not know what that is. You would almost

have to know another Bandster or be on a list to hear it. Keep asking

questions! The only stupid one is the one that isn't asked.
