Hey, good luck with your diet. whatever works for you. Lots of people don't count calories, but reading labels and nutritional values and at least having an idea of the calorie content of things is a great skill to have when trying to diet.
For example, I was just reading up on your page and saw that you went to Quiznos for a veggie sub. The veggie is an allright choice from a diet standpoint, but lots of people would go there "because it's healthy", and order ... a tuna melt for example, because "a sub is healthier than mcdonalds and tuna is good for you". a quick check on the net (
Fast Food Facts | Quizno's nutritional information) shows a large tuna melt to have 2090 calories!! that's almost a whole day's worth of calories to some peopole!! again, if not counting calories works for you, great, but for anyone else reading this ... don't think that you can eat as much as you want as long as something's "good".
I couple other things I wanted to ask you about (i'm really getting "in to" diet and exercise lately as well):
I noticed you don't eat breakfast some days. from almost everything i've read, people tote breakfast as the most important meal of the day, people usually encourage breakfast to give you energy in the morning, and say that later on in the day (evening), meals should be small since you are going to bed soon. is there a reason you seemed to have reversed this?
And for the weight training: the people who do one body part per workout are typically people who workout at a higher level and want to make sure specific body parts keep up with the rest of the body. from what i've seen, novice people who want to burn maximum fat/gain maximum muscle in general do full body workouts or break it into 2 workouts (upper/lower or push/pull), since the big exercises like bench press or barbell row or squat work the big muscles (in back/chest etc) as well as the small ones (bis, tris). more muscle stimulation and more fat burned. is there a reason that you do only bicep curls or tricep extensions for your workouts?
any light you can shed on this would be appreciated.
