Intake vs Consumption
Do you keep track of these?
Start here:
http://nutritiondata.self.com/tools/calories-burned
Mine looks like this:
Calories Burned
Your Calories BurnedDaily Energy Expenditure: 2695 kcal ( 11283 kJ)
Additional Calories from Exercise:+ 610.0 kcal ( 2554 kJ)
Estimated Energy Requirement:
3305.0 kcal ( 13837 kJ)
Around 2700 calories in my "normal" semi active life burned each day.
+
610 calories burned by daily exercise routine.
= 3300 calories burned per day in my current mode.
So... intake of great than 3300 per day = weight gain. Less equal weight loss.
Takes 3000-3500 calories to lose or gain a pound. So in theory, and in my experiece over long enough time frames, an example -if I consume 2500 calories a day will lose a pound every 4 days or so.
The hard part for me was being honest about understanding the intake part of the equation. It's a starting point for doing something about it.
