Update thread - Healthy eating and excercise habits

[Caandy]

Hello,

Those who want to follow my progress is welcome. I am trying to install healthy eating(+ right amount of calories) and excercise habits. Sorry, my english is really bad but it is something that I will improve.

1 Juli:

Excercise
Threadmile = 21minutes
Bike= 7min

Food

Breakfast: Omelet(530kcal)



Lunch: Spinach soop(x2)(830kcal)

Delicious!


Dinner: Tuna salad(748kcal)



748 + 830 + 530= 2108kcal

Actually, I should eat 2300 but is it "okay" to eat less if I am not hungry? I am afraid that I will gain up weight after my weightloss if I do this. :P

Those calorie numbers seem a little high for those foods

To help you sustain your commitment to exercise, you might want to do treadmill and biking on separate days so you are doing different activities each day. And for each day, I would push the duration up to at least 30 minutes if your goal is to lose weight.

As for the food, just be careful what you add - don't add heavy creams, butters or extra salt to the soup. I don't know if the salad would be sufficient for dinner but that's up to you. Don't forget that you do need to fuel up in order to help you with enough energy through your workouts.

The omelet sounds about right, if not a tad low depending on what's in it, but yeah, the calories for everything else seem high.

Considering the rest of the diet, what exactly do you think is in the omelet that would make it that many calories, if not more?

Considering the rest of the diet, probably nothing. I guess I was thinking along the lines of the omelletes I make, which have three or four eggs, cheese, sometimes bacon, stake, or ham, and a ton of veggies.

ugh, stop it, you're making me hungry! You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry!


But yeah, most omelets are 2 eggs, veggies, some ham perhaps. I can't see the omelet the OP made being more then 200-300 calories at best.

If your goal is to be healthier then do some bodybuilding/resistance training. Otherwise you are losing muscle every week. Use it or lose it. Since you are counting calories I guess that means that you are too fat.

Counting calories is not good. It is better to eat healthier foods. For example say you get lots of calories from eating grapefruit. They are not bad. That will help you lose weight just like the calories from olive oil. Now if you get calories from candy and cookies, that will help you to get fatter and get type 2 diabetes.

The internet says a stalk of celery has 9 calories. But the MDs on The Doctors Show say that it has negative calories so the more celery you eat, the better for weight loss.

I'm gonna be the devil's advocate here and question the value of calorie-counting. I think the right foods - rather than particular measurement totals - make us feel and look better, regardless of the numbers we calculate and assign to them.

You still need a certain amount of nutrients to survive. And that normally requires enough calories. Counting calories is usually not the best, but this us counting to get ENOUGH .

If we eat whenever our bodies urge us to without stuffing ourselves and consume only those foods that are whole, nutrient-dense, and appealing (but not to our addictions), then there is absolutely no need to count calories. Think of all the people that eat more than enough to survive and never incorporate calorie-counting into their daily dietary approach. There are billions

Who says any of them are healthy? Also, since when do people know how to read their own bodies? Not many people that I've met. Counting calories is one thing, but when they do count it and post how little they eat....

We weren't talking about health - you were saying we need to get enough calories to survive.

"Reading" one's body in the way I mentioned isn't too difficult at all. 1. I am hungry. 2. I eat. OR, 1. I am not hungry. 2. I wait until I am. 3. I eat.
