Re: Oh no...I've already eaten 1428 calories today.

under 1000? that's low! How do you make room for cookies?
I thought no woman should go under 1200.

I think mine should be about 1800, but I am bad at keeping track.

I'm soooooo hungry now & I just had a hamburger & corn.

Are you going to skip dinner?

Under 1,000??!!! That's really low--I think I would pass out! I eat alot of calories, but hit the gym to burn them off!

Re: Oh no...I've already eaten 1428 calories today.

Re: Oh no...I've already eaten 1428 calories today.

I just did one of those calorie calculator things- it told me 1873.
I think I've had about 685 today.

I just scheduled my dress fitting today for August 26, so I guess I better pay attention now!

Re: Oh no...I've already eaten 1428 calories today.

This might be an old guidline, but I once read that you a basically inactive person, you multiply your weight x10 and eat that many calories a day to maintain your current weight

so if you weighed 135, you can safely eat 1350 a day and not gain anything.. if you exercise a lot, you can tack on a few hundred more calories to provide for the calories you burn.

if you want to lose weight, you go below that guideline

I'm with Peanut .. I'm more than a little obsessive lately, esp. with my wedding less than 2 months away! During the week I've been eating around 1,000 a day, since I sit on my big old butt ALL DAY and cannot seem to lose anything if i don't really keep my calories at a minimum

And then, i ALWAYS blow it on the weekends and eat far far too much ...

Re: Oh no...I've already eaten 1428 calories today.

Oops, I should be under 1250 then w/ that calculation. What do you girls eat all day to stay under 1000 a day?

three balanced meals--corny as that sounds

i eat cereal with skim milk for breakfast...

for lunch i try to have yogurt, fruit, tuna, crackers, snack bars, or i'll have a sandwich or soup or salad (if the company is paying for it)

Re: Oh no...I've already eaten 1428 calories today.

I just did that calorie calculator, and it said I need 2,880 to maintain my weight. Thing is, it said how many minutes do you do light activity--reading or driving? I figure I read and type all day at work, so that is a lot of minutes. I have no idea how many calories I eat anyway, but that seemed weird.

wow- you must be tiny.
I did the little calculations for FH, & he should eat 2500 to maintain! I'm so jealous. He actually could stand to gain a few pounds, too. . .

I didn't know what to do for the activity levels so I put 500 minutes of the reading categorty & 30 minutes of the walking category, but it is probably more than that.

Re: Oh no...I've already eaten 1428 calories today.

well... not as 'tiny' as i'd like to be...

i'm 5' 2' 120lbs...

i used to be 110...but evryone says i looked sickly when i was...

BMD'sPeanut Posted: Jun 02, 2004 04:32 PM

Re: Oh no...I've already eaten 1428 calories today.

i'm the one on the right

nov04LIbride Posted: Jun 02, 2004 04:35 PM

Re: Oh no...I've already eaten 1428 calories today.

I'm 5'3' and 120 and it told me I needed 2880!

ETS: I put I did 700 mins. a day of 'light exercise', because it said that includes reading, driving, and I assume typing (which seems as active as reading?)...
