calories?
Hi - i am totally lost when it comes to calories. Should i just google it
and see what the "average woman" should intake or is there a formula for how many calories a day to eat? I am using Fitday to track what i eat but then i see all these numbers and it means nothing to me!! What should the Fat/Protien/Carbs ratio be? I need to lose weight, not maintain where I am. Thanks!! |

on core I count the 35 wpa's and that is it, use the book to determine your
portions, Lee nanner wrote in message ... Forgot to mention i am doing Core |

I am loving Core due to the lower amount of counting it requires.

I do prefer flex because of the "control" factor but because of all that is
going on core is less stressful, and more healthy so I figure when I go back to flex I will be eating better and therefore will make up whatever I am not losing now, Lee tanukiki wrote in message news:NBWJg.2$xh4.1@trnddc04...

That is what is great about WW though- the flexibility b/w the 2 plans. -- Tanukiki (mom of 2 wonderful boys) Pre-baby #2 weight 239 (in 2004) Started WW 01/21/06 Reached 10% 03/18/06 205.4/179.4/150 -- currently about 186 (only doing prog half-a** b/w 04/05-08/12/06) -- Leader of the Cult of Worshippers of BiPolar Long-Haired Sexy Anime Guys with Swords |

Thanks!! If you're not losing weight on what you're eating then start to drop calories. Try eating say 200c a day less and see what happens.

You can exercise more. ;o) no, i mean i want to know if there is a science to it. with my heght, weight, level of activity, amount of excercise and age is there an amount of calories I should be eating. I'm sure athletes have a way to really know what they are doing with food. i would like to think of eating as fueling the machine that is me. we all know the ration of oil to gas to put in our lawn mower but our own nutrition is a mystery. I am a bit of a Vulcan in my logic but I would like to get specific here and feel like I really know what I am putting in. your method seems rather random. we already know "eat less, excercise more" works |
