Easy really. Look at the nutrition information for one slice: 41g fat x 9 calories/g = 369 calories/slice from fat. (Even says 370 on the label, so this must be rounded down a bit.) 68g carbs x 4 calories/g = 272 calories/slice from carbs. 5g protein x 4 calories/g = 20 calories/slice from protein The total listed is 660…

Yeah, the most unhealthy diet I ever had was back in 2003 when my ex-wife was having an affair. I couldn't eat or sleep. Lost like 25 pounds, but didn't really look better. However, once she no longer had access to my earnings or credit cards, things started looking up for me.

Well, it's carbs, fat or protein. Well, some can be water. But if you have the goal of losing weight, would you rather UNDER or OVERESTIMATE the caloric content? The rule I gave you gives you a range. The item may have fewer calories than the range, but unless there is something more calorie dense than fat, it's not going…

9-15g is anywhere from 36 to 135 calories when you figure a g of carbs is 4 calories and a g of fat is 9 Assuming most candies are sugar and fat, you are somewhere in the range of 9*4 to 15*9 or 36-135 calories in a treat sized as you describe.

We would have never done PT the day after payday in the Army if running when hung over was a bad idea. It might smell like a brewery or distillery, but we did our morning workout, including a several mile run on days we knew soldiers were partying it up the night before because they just got paid.

After having to get a new belt, I just got one that didn’t have holes. Infinite adjustments now available.

I was also able to get into my class A uniform Army uniform that I've not worn since 1992. I have some BDUs in the basement I think. I'll try getting into those as well if I can dig them up.

Actually, I can in terms of the subject. The subject is Does Fitbit Really Work. Since fitbit doesn't look at my fork or weigh my food, the only real things we can answer regarding the fitbit is does it accurately track my activity. Therefore, in the context of the question presented, I can and rightfully SHOULD limit the…

Let's keep it confined to one number, which is what I was talking about, the expenditure. (Edited to add, I do realize I also posted my food consumption of about 2200 calories Sunday, so perhaps that causes some confusion. Just wasn't hungry on Sunday. It was Monday where my body wanted to eat all the foods.) My logging is…

Seriously, 2 woos? So those who are giving woos, do you really trust that I'm burning over 1000 calories/hour, BMR + exercise? I don't. I'd LOVE for it to be true so I could plow through a box of thin mints. (Well, there is still T2D to worry about.) But it's not true, so I don't trust the numbers. Woo away, sheesh!

Yes, many people do conflate the two. I probably do as well from time to time. I know if I have a standard Chinese meal made for the American consumer, I'll have a big fasting BG number the next day. Nothing like a bunch of white rice and unnaturally sweet sauces to overload a body with carbs. So I try to limit any such…

Sort of... Insulin resistance is a pathway to Type 2 diabetes. Eating too many carbs and flooding your body with insulin can make your cells insulin resistant. The pancreas is still producing insulin, but your cells don’t respond, causing glucose to remain in your bloodstream. Some people can develop this simply because…

If this were Chit-Chat, I'd ask what are you wearing when you weigh your banana. But it's not, so I won't.

Think about it this way, she is doing over 3 miles in a minute...

Oh, my food diary is open if you would like to look.

You are almost where i was 7.5 months ago. I am 5"11" and started at over 265. I claim 265 as that is the first measurement I have. Today, I'm at 215, with a goal of 200. Started at 2250 calories/day on my diabetes coach/dietitian recommendation and no more than 225g of carbs/day, not more than 60g/meal. As I lost weight,…

Just over 3.5 hours according to my Fitbit Surge. According to Map My Ride, which tries to auto-stop the clock if I'm stopped due to traffic and what not, it claimed 2:27 for the 34.9 miles up to the brunch stop and 1:07 for the 18.4 miles back. Fought with wind and rode with a slower rider for 21 of the 34.5 miles up or…

No, that was just the estimate for the ride. This is why I don't trust the estimates. I tracked the entire ride on my Fitbit, pausing it during my brunch stop 35 miles into the ride. Fitbit estimated 4806 calories over 52.6 miles. MapMyRide, also using GPS like my Fitbit Surge, I broke the ride into two rides. One, on the…

Road my bike 53 miles yesterday. I felt good and probably could have gone more relatively easily. Didn't feel my legs as much as I had from previous rides hours to the next day after when going downstairs in my home. Just might get a century ride in before the end of the season this year.
-
I'm 215# right now. I biked 53 miles yesterday. Here is what it told me when I closed yesterday's log... Perhaps some programming when it suggests someone is going to lose more than 1/4 of their mass in 5 weeks. And no, I won't be losing 11 pounds/week over the next 5 weeks.

It was within a mile of MapMyRide and my odometer on my bike. They all claimed I rode between 52.6 and 53.4 miles today. So that part seems pretty accurate. I don’t trust the calorie burn estimates. I don’t think I burned between 4800 and 5200 calories as they all estimate. So they work, but one has to take some of the…

People who say it is too complex. I was at my 35th high school reunion last night and was asked how I’ve lost ~50 pounds. I said I was already exercising and that didn’t prevent me from gaining weight, so I started watching what the fork I was eating. Showed my before and after even though my after is 10 pounds heavier…

Gotta back up sometime. I’d rather back into a space with little chance of traffic than to back into the aisle where people are in such a hurry they cannot be bothered to let you out. Time needed is the same, just used at different times. Therefore, it’s not a waste of time. But the best is when you can find a spot where…

Picked up a used Giant Cypress today to ride more leisurely rides with my bride. Not bad for $250 from a local bike shop. Sure, I could have probably found a used one from a private seller for a bit less. But gotta support the LBS. Now if I lose another 15-25 pounds, I'll be looking to replace the Aluminum Giant Defy 2…

You put into words what this engineer couldn't. I couldn't quite come up with the words to describe the impression left on me. Truth and stupid so intertwined that it's largely useless text.

Nobody? I thought someone would have a comment on this blog post on my local YMCA FB page....

Purged my closet of anything larger than a 36" waist today.... Off to the thrift store to see what they have in 34-35" jeans, pants and shorts.

Bought my first Large Tall shirts since the early 1990s. I've been buying either XLT or XXL (for the length) and I was starting to get lost in my XLT shirts, so wifey and I picked out three LT shirts after trying them on. So I've gone from 38w pants/jeans that were getting tight to 34w pants/jeans that are comfortably…
