So.. I thought it would be fun to see what my calories were before I started MyFitnessPal. HOLEY MOLEY! In one day I would consume more than twice my calorie intake I do now!! I basically ate enough for two and 1/3 people. YIKES! No wonder I look the way I do. This new lifestyle is amazing...never going back! How much did you consume?

    this would be a run of the mill day last year. it could be worse than this and also doesn't include the large bag of chips, bag of sour sweets, chocolate and cookies I might pick up after work also. I'm surprised I didn't gain more, I only went up to 86kg and a BMI of 26 at the highest. I'm lucky for not gaining a lot more. I ate badly for a long, long time.

    I actually ate a lot less than I do now. Used to average about 700 cals/day.
