For the past 5 weeks, I've been logging daily calorie totals, plus total burned and total weekly deficit to see if a 3500 calorie deficit is really amounting to the equivalent in weightloss. Well, its not exactly working right so I'm thinking I'm either underestimating my calorie intake or overestimating what I burn in a day.
I HAVE been grabbing lots of nuts lately without measuring and just estimating. Since nuts are so caloric, I realized strict measuring with a tablespoon is totally necessary.
Fitday says my body needs 2046 calories at this weight using the "seated work" lifestyle option. I'm starting to wonder if this is correct. So I made an appointment for the RMR test on Friday with a dietician so I will REALLY know what's going on! And yay, my Oxford insurance actually covers the whole visit and test!
Let me know how off you were if you had this test. For those who track your deficit, is it accurately turning into number of pounds lost?
