patdnaseq's Journal, 21 August 2010

Well, it was Fri. night, and I got off work really late (7 PM), and I was feeling sorry for myself. SOOOOOOO I had 3 slices of great pizza and a full pint and a half of delicious Hefeweizen. I also later had a pint of Raspberry Tart beer (New Glarus Brewery in Madison, WI). And no exercise! All in all, though, it was worth it because everything that I had was most excellent-tasting. Tomorrow--I'm back to the grind. Plan to lift weights and eat Spartanly again.......

To lose weight safely, it appears that I should be targeting consumption of 1542 calories per day (2042 to maintain). Looking back on my food history, most of this week I've been eating too little food. On Friday (pizza and beer day), I ate 1900 calories, which isn't good for loss, but at least I shouldn'tve gained anything from that.

I recommend going online to periodically calculate your own BMRs (basal metabolic rates) and RDIs (recommended daily intakes) in order to know just what you should be targeting. You can then click on "Weight History," scroll down to "change my RDI/daily intake), and Fatsecret will calculate it based on just a couple questions that you answer. Theirs is not as accurate as the ones you can find using Google. But when FatSecret asks if you want to keep the value, you will notice that the value they give is in a text box that can be typed over/in. Just type in your real score that is more accurate, and you're set!
