Just curious how many calories those of you who are six months out or more are eating a day. Honestly.

I find that I can hit 1000 calories in no time. I have upped my exercise to burn between 500-800 calories a day about 4-5 times a week because I'm just finding that I can totally eat up to 1200 calories in a day. And my portions are not big. 4 oz - 4 1/2 oz only.

I'm finding it really hard to keep below 700 calories. I actually just made a post asking everyone on some ideas on what I could eat to keep between 400 to 600 calories each day. Can you tell me what you eat on a good day?! Thanks

Sure, for example yesterday. . .

Breakfast : 2 small light wedges of cheese (70 calories)

lunch : 2 tuna patties and SF Jello (300 calories)

Snack: 1 slice of cheese on the way home from work (80 calories)

Dinner: Talipia fillets and about 3 brussels sprouts (250 - 300 cal)

Total about 750 calories. . . use the myfitnesspal.com to help you track your progress. . . you'll like it.

I use the LIVESTRONG.COM - Health, Fitness, Lifestyle | LIVESTRONG.COM site. They have MyPlate which tracks all the important breakdowns of the foods I eat, plus I can track my exercise and water consumption on there too. Then it calculates how I am doing. It even has a place to track my weight so it can more accurately calculate the calories burned in the exercises I track.

Thanks everyone for your help. Will try it out today :smile:

Does anyone know of a good PDA/smartphone app to track this stuff?

I tend to do everything on my phone, so I don't think trying to do it on the computer will be realistic for me. My phone is near me all the time, even when I have the ringer off, so I think doing it that way will help me be more consistent.

myfitnesspal has a free app for the IPhone

I think Fitday has one as well, but myfitnesspal has been the best for me, plus it syncs everything to your online account as well.
