LOL. They do fluctuate indeed. All of these numbers are estimates based on certain more or less precisely measured inputs. I think/hope on average they ... average out about right. Now, it's time to ride home :smile: It's sunny

That! I shall up my intake. You're right! I use a HRM (2 actually) and trust me, it burns... :smile:

More than 2 hours on a bicycle every working day :smile: True, 1kg muscles = 1kg fat = 1kg feathers But it could very wel be (I hope so) that 1kg fat has been replaced with 0.5kg muscle, or better yet 1.5kg :(as if that's going to happen LOL)

Hi! I don't mind encouraging people (this can be read both ways) 😁

Hmmm, I think I should be fortunate to not even know what mozzarella sticks are 😁. LOL. I have a suspicion it hasn't got a lot to do with the mozzarella cheese as we know it, which isn't all that caloric. It's important to actually enjoy your 'diet' foods and, indeed, give in to these cravings. But only from time to time…

God no :smile: !!! LOL. Of course you eat what you like and how you like it. I'd never dream of eating PB with an apple or, god forbid, with jam. I've discovered organic spelt crackers (lots of healthy ingredients) with a (coffee)spoonful of PB. Yummy! The problem with PB, is that's not super duper healthy, but I suppose…

700 calories due to exercising on top of your 1800 budget is a lot. Congratulations! Good work. I'd recommend you try at least eating those 1800 calories and at least half of the exercise calories. The the next day you'll be in better shape for exercising which will then be more efficient. It maybe kind of hard to eat more…

Thank you all. Some good tips, suggestions, and most important of all, support! Thanks

Good point. What if it's both? I'm trying to resist and show some force of will. I move so much, I ought to be thin as a nail; On weekdays I can rack up to 2000 extra exercise calories a day (yes yes 2 thousand) . I'd have tons to 'bank' or space to fit in all sorts of stuff. But this little voice in my head tells me that…

Thanks. Yes, nuts are good. Thing is, they're so dense, it's too easy to swallow a handful in no time at all. OTOH, anything is better than a handful of candy. I discovered raw pumpkin seeds yesterday, I like them and they are kind of satiating.

Welcome to the club of idiots 😜 (shakes hands) I'm happy to see I'm not the only idiot 🤣 Underestimation of calories burnt and underestimation of calories eaten are a surefire way to gain weight. This is one of the reasons why I'm here. If I'm very very active I think I deserve and can eat whatever I fancy. Wrong! Gawd…

Let's give it a whirl Me: 1 Lns: 0

Raiding the pantry while a home get's to you :wink: I hope your injury healed without lasting consequences and you can cycle again. Broke my pelvis, it still hurts but I can totally live with it. Both my knees are thoroughly messed up. But none of that stops me from moving. Cycling & walking is what make happy. Anyways,…
