AxlisOld Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 No, I think most people would be pretty surprised if they did. 2,500 is real easy to hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H. Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Absolutely, and Matt is right. This week I've been hitting around 1500 since I stopped drinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlisOld Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 When I was drinking all the time I could hit 4,000 in a day pretty easily. Surprised I'm as thin as I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnold layne Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 The chicken I eat says it's 80 calories but I think it would be 300 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Linguini Occurrence Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Fuck off. Some of us are extremely vain and obsessive.By the way MyFitnessPal helps me out.I think it's great that you are paying attention to what you eat. If you get into good diet habits now, it will be easier to adjust when your metabolism slows way down after age 30.One slice of Reese's Peanut Butter Cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory is 1,330 calories .... that's more calories than I eat all day.

arnold layne Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 You eat less than 1,300 a day?I eat 1,600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kill Devil Hill Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) Fuck no! The moment I start counting calories is the moment my life ends. It sucks the fun right out of eating, and you have to start eating the same shit doing the same routine. Calories should be the last thing you worry about in your life. Concerned about your weight? Order five big macs instead of six and take the stairs. Edited December 4, 2012 by Kill Devil Hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Linguini Occurrence Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 You eat less than 1,300 a day?I eat 1,600.Yup, mainly by not drinking any calories. I usually drink just water, sometimes flavored.Dinner is usually whole grain pasta with a tiny bit of sauce and cheese. A whole box is just 1,400 calories - I usually eat about 1/4th of a box.Don't get me wrong, I will never turn down pizza or some other high calorie foods ... I just limit those times when I do eat more than 2,000 calories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Not really. I round to the nearest hundred when I think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orsys Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I enter everything I eat into MyFitnessPal. It's not primarily to count calories, though I end up doing that. It's because I used to have trouble getting enough protein every day. So I monitor that and other nutrients and add more at the end of the day if needed. Looks like average of 1300 calories a day which keeps me at my good weight. MyFitnessPal is good because it doesn't take any time and breaks it all down for me.

Tater Totts Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Not really, don't really gain much weight as I exercise a couple of times a week pretty intensively so usually have to keep my numbers up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlisOld Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Do people not realize that under 1,500 is not healthy if you do it consistently? My basic metabolic rate will burn 1,800 calories if I stay in bed ALL DAY. That will keep my weight flat. There's a reason women are supposed to eat 2,000 and men are supposed to eat 2,500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then there are the people who have to work their ass off to stay not-obese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your body goes into panic mode and thinks you're starving so it stores fat whenever it can. Plus, dude might just be fat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
