Hi,

 

I just started tracking my calories and protein on a program called Diet Power. My goals are to lose about 20 pds of fat and put on muscle.

 

 

Sunday

2600 calories

400 carbs

110 protein

 

Monday

2500 calories

233 carbs

110 protein

 

Tuesday

2800 calories

300 carbs

100 protein

 

Wednesday

1700 calories

250 carbs

65 protein

 

Thursday

1700 calories

190 carbs

65 protein

 

Friday 2900

calories 370 carbs

155 protein

 

 

weight

197 pds

 

So far, I learned I have to maintain about 2000 calories for BMR and then about 3000 calories total for exercise expenditure. I gained 1 pound last thursday for expending about 2000-2500 calories being active for 7 hours and my system stored some fat from the 1700 calories I ate.

Its really hard to tell and you need to do this for months for it to be accurate...I eat about the same amount of calories every day but where I get it from really changes my digestion so my body flutters 8lbs regularly with the same amount of excersize too...water has alot to do with this too

I am just learning this. I wanted to track my calories years ago and didnt have a program on PC for it. Now I have Diet Power. I checked out another program called FitDay. I wonder, if on some days, if i really ate a lot I could go over 3000 calories. Other days I am not hungry and around 9pm am still at 1500 and decide to eat around midnight.

Sometimes its good to eat a little if your not hungy anyway...maybe not a meal but a snack a few hours before bed may keep you from eating before bed
