Since the intensity will vary greatly., the best way to get an accurate count is to get a heart rate monitor.

from the site I visited, with the stats you provided, I got 1618 is what you need per day. if you are looking at losing 1lb/week, then you will need 1118 calories per day. without knowing your specific situation, here are a few things I could think of. keep in mind I am trying to figure this all out like everyone else :) -…

This is my favorite thread so far because I can related to a lot of it. I am asian and I was always overweight (and not very active growing up). A close family friend would always announce how I had gained weight in front of everyone when we went to their house for dinner. (Right after she asked if I had a girlfriend yet).…

It is not weight gain. 4 lbs equated to 15000 calories and that is after subtracting your base calories just to exist. I find it hard to believe you ate 18000 calories in a weekend :). Your real weight will come out after a couple of days...

I have pretty good system. I weigh myself every morning. If I gained any amount or lose amount I enter it half a pound up or down because you realistically are not going to gain or lose one or more pounds in a day. This way I do not have wild fluctuations where they do not exist. Also if the graph shows a constant decrease…

a few stalks of celery just to get a full feeling, or 1/2 an apple or my favorite "diet" snack, 3 bite sized frosted mini-wheat.

Ugh. I have this problem too. What seems to work for me is to eat low-cal filling foods. I will eat leftovers veggies from dinner or at worst split a micoeave bag of popcorn with my wife. Also if I brush my teeth and do all my nighttime prep shortly after dinner I will usually bypass eating so I don't have to brush my…

Wow, this is a supportive group :) Since this started when I began restricting my diet, I am going to increase my calories and see if it is still an issue. I am a 45 year old male, weighting (now) at 169, no high blood pressure (my resting rate when lying down is 49ish). I work at a desk all day and exercise about 5 times…

Thanks for all the responses! I did not lose 28 in 3 weeks. This has been a 2 year event for me. I was laid off 2 years ago and started attending a networking meeting 7 miles from home. I started biking there, joined a local bike club, signed up for a triathlon (sprint), ran a half marathon, etc. Got my *kitten* together…

Scramble 2 whole eggs with 2 egg whites for 191 calories. Add broiled salmon (I make this twice a week and there are usually leftovers) 3 oz adds 127 calories. Add half serving of feta cheese for the final 45 calories. Then I put spinach and tomatoes in - sometimes mushrooms. The total calories is just under 400 calories.…
