Hey all,
I have random questions to ask all you hard core calorie counters out there:
What is your daily calorie goal that keeps you losing weight?
Do you watch your carb intake too or just calories?
I know I have said I am going low carb a million times but I have tried and failed at that for years because I just love carbs too damn much. I am still trying to keep my carb count under like 75g a day (still high according to my surgeon) but if I can just try this calorie counting thing like alot of you do I am hoping I can have success and not have to give up all my carbs all the time. I am just curious what works for you!
Thanks!
P.S. I hate that asparagus makes your pee smell weird!
Hi sweetie..hope you are getting ready for a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say right now I am probably getting about 1200 a day more or less. Some days a bit more some days less. I think I need around 800 to lose about 1-1/2 lbs a week so thus I've been losing about 1/2-3/4 lb a week. I'm not super strict about counting calories anymore. I did it for a while so I new what the calorie count was of the foods I was mainly eating. With my fill I can't eat more than 1/2 cup at a time but eat more throughout the day because I get hungry.
Hi Jess. I try to keep my daily calories to 1200 or less. Doesn't always work but thats the plan. I am also a carb addict and I don't count grams but try to limit how many I eat.
ReplyDeleteI am signed up on myfitnesspal.com and I put in my food 75% of the time, the rest of the time I know what I am doing and even if I don't put it in, I have a good idea about it. According to that website, I have to stay around 1800 calories to lose weight, but that seems like a lot so I try to go lower, doesn't always work! However, I am NOT losing weight right now lol, so maybe my advice is not good :) I do not watch carbs although breads are hard fo rme to eat with the band so that kind of stops me from eating as much.
ReplyDeleteI too stick to around 1200 calories.
ReplyDeleteI shoot for 1,200-1,300. Since my last fill though, I've been closer to 1,000. I don't keep track of carbs - just cals and protein.
ReplyDeleteMy pee smells weird after asparagus too.. but I oddly like it. Not necessarily the smells but I'm fascinated how the body works.. hahaha. I'm a weirdo.. but anyway I'm a point counter not a cal counter I call it calorie counting for dummies because it totally simplifies it. Anyway, have you just tried to go all whole grain/wheat carbs and see how that works for you? Like bread, pasta, rice etc.? Let us know how it goes...
ReplyDeletei know your pain girl i am a carb addict too lol i dont eat any where near the carbs i use too.... but sometimes i just cant resist somethings then i feel so guilty . but i have found if u like cauliflower if u put it in the microwave then mash it like mashed potatoes add butter salt whatever you do too potatoes it is really good and gives u that full feeling like mash potatoes . its all about telling your self no what i do is tell my self that 5 minutes of fulfillment is not worth the way im going to feel after i reach my goal i hope this works or helps some...
