Any vegetarian calorie counters?
 

I'm just wondering if we have any vegetarian calorie counters here? If so and you don't mind sharing how much do you weigh and how many calories do you eat a day?

I'm currently at 211 lbs. I typically hover in between 1500-1700 calories a day.

I'm at 217, I eat between 1300-1400.

I'm a vegetarian, I am currently 148, and (I'm probably going to get a lot of flak for this :/ , but for the past month and a half I have been doing 700 cal a day, I know, I know it's not recommended to go so low, but I am impatient with weight loss I guess....)

My husband is a vegetarian, so I eat that way most days. This morning I weighed in at 143.4. I eat around 1400 calories per day, but at my current weight, the weight loss is very slow.

I made the most delicious black bean and corn chimichangas last night -- 315 calories apiece using Flat Out wraps instead of regular tortillas.

I'm a vegan calorie counter and I'm 145 and I eat between 1400 and 1500 per day.

Vegan calorie counter. Currently around 215 and just trying to stay under 2,000. I went off the wagon a bit so to speak with calorie counting and working my way back. I'm going to start calorie cycling and making sure I have at least 2-3 1400-1600 days mixed in there.

I am a vegeterian cal. counter.When watching,which is now, I eat from1500-1700 cal.

I'm a vegetarian (11 years now!)

I weigh 187 (I'm 6') and I eat about 1400-1700 a day. I'm burning about 500-900 through exercise.

Woot 30 Day Shred and ellipticals!

Hi! I've been mostly vegetarian for years, but not always the healthiest one. The pounds have crept up and I'm just now starting with a real plan to reverse the up, up, up of the number on the scale.

I had some luck with South Beach a couple of years ago, but when I tried again last fall, no luck. So I have decided to try calorie counting to know exactly what's what ... I also count fiber and try to get the right ratio of carbs-protein-fat (still figuring out what that will ultimately be - 40-30-30 seems to work well for me)

Also EXERCISING. Starting out with a minimum of a half-hour a day of *something* - right now, it's mostly just walking and trying to jog.

Anyway - I am currently ~149lbs and looking over my FitDay (for the month I started tracking calories seriously) they appear to range from 1300-2300. So clearly I'm not a very good calorie counter yet!! Well, I'm good at counting them, just not restricting them.:o

FitDay calculates that to lose a pound a week, I should eat 1729 calories. I know these things are just guides - that number seems too high to me. I am going to start with 1500-1600 and see how it goes. I just hope that's low enough... we'll see...

I eat alot of the Gardenburger,Boca,&Amy's Products.I like things that are easy. However, I know these products have alot of sodium. What do you eat for protein requirements?

I use South Beach Diet pizzas for lunch occasionally. They have 30 grams of protein and are pretty balanced for a frozen meal.

I love cottage cheese, skim milk, protein packed cereal, and almost any kind of cheese for protein. I also try to find protein bars that aren't too carb or fat heavy. I'm a huge fan of the Atkins Advantage bars even though I'm not dong Atkins.

Beans, nuts, whole grains (quinoa is EXCELLANT and a complete protein), tofu, seitan, tempeh.

Hi, I'm vegetarian and eat 1200-1400 calories a day. I weigh 139 pounds.

Fat Chick B Gone,
:thanks: for the suggestions! I am going to try quinoa soon!
