I enter my food intake and it seems low to me (the total calories) even though I know I am over estimating how much I am actually eating. Do I just take it as is, or should I really break things down. I don't know that it's worth the effort/time involved?
I guess I will take more time if I get to a point where I am not losing weight or if I start gaining it back!
Running is getting better - I am going farther and running a larger portion of the distance with fewer breaks. It's true what they say - the runner's "high" is addicting. I cannot wait to get outside and go for my run!

it's not easy to find how many calroies will be what you need to lose weight, especially when you are a runner. it will be a lot of trial error. you should give a try to something at least 2 weeks, it's the time your body needs to adapt to a new diet. if the results are not what you expect, then you can make some adjustments. good luck!

Your calorie intake is low considering your running. I have found it's best to aim for a 250-500 calorie deficit when running and trying to lose weight. Using your calorie expenditure for yesterday, if you're burning 2734 calories through exercise, you should be consuming about 2234 calories in food. This will give you a nice, steady 1 lb weight loss per week. I try not to aim for more than a 1 lb/week when running because it's too difficult to fuel your body with enough energy to do your best workouts and you eventually risk fatigue and injury. And definitely don't be afraid of your carbs:). They're every runner's best friend.
