Guest guest Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 Ok...I just went to the Dr. Hussman site and plugged in my figures. I got back that to lose fat I need to be intaking 1300 - 1430 calories. To gain muscle and not lose fat I need to intake 1560 - 2080 calories. Now the interesting thing is that if I am currently intaking 2400 cals. (according to Rick's rough estimation) how am I not gaining weight? I do measurements tomorrow in the a.m. If I don't show BF loss, I will do a three day calorie count and average it and see where I need to make adjustments. I know I can use the Fitday calculator. If I do show BF loss, I will leave it alone and keep doing what I'm doing. What blows my mind is that I used to eat at Mc's every day for lunch or breakfast. The shear fat content of that food is frightenng to think about. I also ate 4 cookies with milk (whole) quite frequently before bedtime. How many calories was I eating during those times?! So there is probably distortion in my perception of how much less I am actually eating on BFL. Plus when I think about the fact that I exercise 6 out of 7 days a week when before BFL I only exercised when gardening in the summer...seems like huge differences. Oh....is it Friday yet? I think I need to go home and have a beer! Kelley In sunny 43F Cleveland (tomorrow in the late 50s!!!!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
