How many calories a day do you eat?
hi all i to was wondering what the calorie intake should be. i do post on daily plate and it really helps me. i have noticed that i eat between 1200-1500 calories a day then i do the gym 5 days a wk. i have to make healthier food choices. i thought i would have lost more than i have and i guess i get discouraged alittle. im starting formula 40-30-30 on sunday. that is a diet thats like south beach. 40% carbs, 30% fat, 30% protein i think. we i will see if that gets it going

ibtrouble its ok im not gonna say dont worry about it as i know you have already hear that. i to feel like you at times. but, i have to keep reminding myself that im in it for the long haul. look at it like this we were just born right babies dont come out the womb running we have to learn that. we are in the learning phase you will be running in due time. maybe you can call your dr and let them know your concerns. but, my dr told me some times the fill takes time to kick in. not sure when you got your fill or any thing but, maybe you need more or a fill. your in my prayers:smile: well thanks for responding any ways rose.
