back to calorie counting.
Hi, I'm introducing myself. I use to count calories all the time when I lost weight before. But I realized that what I was eating wasn't exactly healthy even though i met my caloric goals for the day so I went on a different plan.
But I'm back to calorie counting now and I like it a lot more than any other diet I've tried because it fits in with my life. With the advice on this board, im eating more veggies, more protein, and carbohydrates. I put in my information on myfitnesspal.com and it said I can eat 1200 calories a day but when I add exercise, it pulls my calories up. I try to estimate the lowest amount I burned in that day. Like if I exercised for 60 minutes, I put 40-45 so I don't overeat.
oh and for nutrition, it says I should meet these goals;
Your Daily Goal: cals: 1,200 C: 165 F: 40 P: 45
Anyway I ate around 1500 calories yesterday and I didn't have time to exercise so I was suppose to eat 1200. Is it okay if I eat 900 today so it averages up to 1200? I'm so full from lunch today (i have a lot of celery, lettuce in my sandwich and that fills me up a lot) so I think I only want a snack for dinner, or maybe just a dessert or something.
Basically I'm introducing myself to this board. I hope I can stick to this, though I really don't consider calorie counting a diet, it's more of an eating healthy thing so I think I can be on here for a while. I've been good for about 4 days now and it's been very painless.
