Cutting calories

mstarrett01

I thought that having to cut my calories to 1350 a day would be a killer, I thought I would starve! But no, I am doing so good, I am so proud of myself! I don't really get to hungry, only in the mornings before lunch, but it doesn't kill me. Every day when I calculate what I have eaten for the day I always hit my mark, or some times are a little under. This is great, I am so happy so far. Its only been a week, so I hope that my enthusiasm won't fade!:happy :

If you've got that down then you are well on your way! You'll have to share some of your "low cal" meals.

The bonus is that you get to eat your exercise calories! I eat mine, too. My daily calorie goal is 1380, and but I usually eat up to about 1600 with but don't go over with exercise. Makes room for snacking (healthy, of course)! If I find myself running low on calories, I'll throw in an exercise session (something family friendly like a bike ride) after dinner to make sure I don't go over for the day. And if I do go over every few weeks, I don't freak out about it.

Hooray! You're doing great! Really, whoever said you can't eat on a diet? A few weeks ago I was really, really hungry at dinner, so I had like three turkey sandwiches and baked chips and steamed broccoli and cheese. My family looked at me like I was crazy, but I was still like 200 calories below my goal. (I'm at 1490). Seriously. I've been eating essentially as much as I want. You just have to tweak a few things.
