    Do you use an HRM? I read several articles that stated a person burns approximately 100 calories per mile ran/walked- so you'd only be averaging 2000 calories for the run/walk.



    that can't be right, we all have different body weight and height and so forth...so it would be different for all. my husband and I did a 9 1/2 mile walk yesterday I burned 1,610 and i have a bodymedia, his only said he burned 1,000. so that has to be false. Unless I misunderstand what your stating...which is possible


    dunno why its quoting my own stuff xD

    According to this show I'm watching, an adult male goat is 4300 calories. Eat that covered in cheese and you're set!

    I gained 30 lbs just reading the name "Cheesecake Factory."

    I was devastated when I found out my favorite Cheesecake Factory meal was 1400 calories.

    I just finished my dinner and if I had to eat another bite I would cry. But, if I had to eat 5000 calories I would eat a whole lot of ice cream.

    If you're not hungry, then don't eat. If your body needs to eat more, it will let you know. When I do a lot of exercise, I sometimes experience a loss of appetite and then the next day I'm hungrier. You may experience the same thing.

    wow yes!

    Some days when I have a longer cardio set my calorie intake requirement soars to over 5000. Do I really need to eat all of that? I'm over 4,100 calories today and I don't know if I can eat anything else at the moment. I'm just so stuffed and I still have over 1200 calories left to go. I guess I just make up for it later in the week when I have a lower day.

    You probably didn't read the other replies, otherwise you'd have seen he did a 14 mile run then walked an additional 6 miles. I think his calories are well earned and needed. So no, he's not doing to die lmao

    How do needing advice on eating more, and recommendations for appetite suppresants meet in the middle?

    No.

    What scares me is when those in the health/medical profession say things like this

    slather those delicious waffles in copious amounts of peanut butter and syrup - serve with a side of bacon.

    Waffles covered in syrup and butter for breakfast with bacon and sausage on the side...deep dish pizza with extra cheese for lunch...ice cream and apple pie somewhere in there for dessert...

    You seem to think you have to eat lettuce and low cal crap to be "healthy." As long as you meet your calorie goal and your macro goal, don't worry about the minutia. I'm sure you can easily get your macros and nutrients from whatever you deem "healthy," and then after that, eat whateva you want. Seriously. As long as you are in a deficit, you will lose weight.
