Feeling Down after a bad day!
I'm not really sure what my "ideal" caloric intake should be... but I've been aiming for about 1600, most days (for the week and a half I've been counting) I've hit it almost exactly...
Yesterday my husband and I went out of town for a day trip and I ended up eating fried fish (although I'm proud to say I only ate 1 piece instead of the 3 they gave me!) and a Meatball Sandwich from Subway...
I totaled out at 2081 calories total for yesterday and that just has me down...
I know it shouldn't be a big deal, but it made me feel down! Although today I'm making up for it, I had healthy oatmeal for breakfast, a salad (with grilled chicken breast) for lunch and dinner will probably be healthy as well...
I guess my big question is how do I find out how many calories I need on a daily basis?? I looked at the calculator here on 3fc and it said 3500 to maintain which would be 2500-3000 to lose!! That sounds insane! Does anyone know of other calculators out there? Just so I can double reference?
