    Food, drinks, everything....

    I probably consume about 1200-1300... think I'm gonna start keeping track to be sure though.


    Anyways, shrugs..just a random thought. :)

    I have no idea :D

    I make sure though that I don't go overboard... I changed the way I eat completely, it has really helped my endo in a big way, but as to calories, hopefully not too many...watch, I probably have like 4,000 :D super obese here I come!

    I read a Big Mac meal has 1000 calories in it...

    Sometimes I don't even think I eat that much in a day.

    :stunned:

    I just don't think I eat that many calories cause I eat mostly vegetables and I don't drink anything with calories in it except one glass of juice a day.

    I actually like Big Mac's and fries...

    But I probably eat one once a year or less.

    And soda is a lot of those 1000 calories too.... I can't stand soda. Fucking disgusting.

    The number of calories isn't as important as where those calories come from. Restrictive calorie counting diets are self destructive and program people with an unhealthy mindset with regard to food.

    When I was training heavily, it was around 2,500 to 2,700 a day.

    Now I'm eating pretty close to 2,000 and I'm only exercising about a half hour a day..

    Haha... of course... I was waiting for you or fitzy to come in here and say that...

    But yes, that is common knowledge to most intelligent people (not trying to be mean or bitchy... just get so tired of being told that all the time like I don't know it)....

    This was just something I was thinking about and the only reason why I asked...

    Anyways I get my calories pretty much from flax oil, olive oil, nuts, whole grains (mostly gluten free), fresh and frozen veggies, two servings of fruit a day, fish and lean meat only... no processed food whatsoever.. blah blah...
    ^that is pretty much all i worry about... and also why i probably don't eat as many calories as I should as I'm using snacking on and eating vegggies.

    (oh but still if you do wanna lose weight it is still calories in vs. calories out so they do matter some)

    I have no idea. All I drink is juice, soda , tea, energy drinks. I NEVER drink just water (I know, it's bad). So I know I get a lot of calories from that. The beer and the pizza Im sure dont help keep the number low.
    I really cant guess. Im a vegetarian, but I know I dont have a really healthy diet. I usually eat pasta, curry rice, veggie burgers, vegetarian tacos, burritos, quesadillas, pita pizzas, hummus. When I make fruit salads I ate that all the time, same with the my grains salad.
    I have made a goal to cook a lot more of my food and try for it to be not only yummy but also healthy.

    The diet industry is based on misinformation and relies on it to remain profitable. If people had the real facts about dieting, both the weight loss industry and fast foods would go out of business and of course we can't have that... so those who are supposed to regulated business give the nod and wink to the nutritional hucksters the same way that they abet the oil industry to steal from us. The United States government doesn't just commit war crimes, It's party to swindling its population.

    Well, of course... But I don't actually know anyone that eats "diet foods" and stuff like that... at least not that I know of...

    I'm always telling people how bad for them so-called diet foods (like the diet tv dinners), light foods and diet sodas are for them. Bleh.
