Jessicaruby

so i just started using my bodybugg. today i burned 2,994 calories! problem is i am full and ate healthy but only consumed 1,659 calories! what do i do? how bad is this? if i am not hungry then what do i do? i eat pretty decent sized meals and snacks but am always under my calories..........thoughts, or suggestions would be helpful please! i am trying to eat more and i have increased my calories by quite a bit. i was only eating about 1200-1400. i now eat about 1600-2000. but am still always under. and i am not losing any weight. i have incorperated nuts to boost my cals but its not enough i guess

If you're looking for good calorie dense/low volume things you can't go wrong with protein shakes. Mix whey (or similar) powder with milk and add something like 2 tbsp. of nut butter or fruit and you can get an 8 - 12 oz. beverage with 400 - 500 calories easily. I eat about 2200 calories daily and it's my go-to for a calorie and protein boost.

Are you sure you burned 3000 calories? That seems really high for a workout...

She has a bodybugg. The 3000 calories is going to be for 24 hours.

Eat more calorie dense food....nuts, avocado, use olive oil to cook with. Peanut/almond/sunflower seed/cashew butter! If you're eating fat free, use the full fat versions.

Oh! And also, since it's only been a couple days, I've read there's a 10% or so margin of error and that if you log on the bodybugg website, the calories will adjust more to what you're really burning. It's been accurate for a lot of people but I'm not sure if that was from day one.

One more thing...is the 3000 for the 24 hours? If that ends up being accurate, you'd still only need to eat 2500 or 2000 for a 1 or 2 lb loss. Unless you want to maintain.

Ok, I'm done now.
