I'm a little confused on how many cals I should be eating. For example, what is TOO MANY in one meal? I look at a can of coke and it has the same amount as a bowl of grits... so what's the difference if I drink the Coke instead of eat the grits? Or vice versa...
Is there a magical calorie number I should be shooting for per meal? Per day? I am lost.
I really like the recipes I have found here at the 3fc website. I printed several off today and am going to try the Skillet Chicken pot pie, only I am substituting turkey for chicken. (we got a bunch of turkey for free this summer).
I'm new to 3fc. Found y'all through someone at familycorner.com
Good point. I am really trying to break my habit of drinking coke every day. I was drinking 4-5 coke's a day, which isn't good... ALOT of empty cals. And I was sitting on my butt alot, so now I am cutting out the Coke and walking and exercising, and hopefully it won't be long till I lose my 10 or so pounds. I just wish my weight would stop fluctuating!
i don't know if this will help, but you can go to www.fitday.com and input your body stats - height/weight etc. along with some factors about your fitness level and it will compute your calorie needs for the day...if i remember right, it also tells you how many calories you have to eat to lose a pound. it's a great site for keeping track of calories & it's free. good luck!!!
