If I eat roughly 1700 calories per day, and walk 8 miles per day (my pedometer calculates this to burn roughly 900 calories) plus exercise intensely for an hour (burning roughly 600 calories) – am I eating enough?
I don’t feel hungry but I don’t understand how this can be right.
Neglecting my BMR for a second, this comes out to be 1700 – (600 + 900) = 200 calories intake.
Can someone please explain this to me?
here’s my take.
If you eat before, you’ll have calories in your blood sugar ready to work. You work off your meal basically. You also risk cramps if you workout too soon. Cramps can kill a workout.
If you eat after, you’ll use more stored calories (body fat), and the proteins you eat after have much better chance of being absorbed by your sore muscles. The downside being that you need to push yourself harder because you don’t have that “ready energy” already in your blood stream.
Personally – I eat a little before. You need SOME energy at the ready. You cant do it all with body fat. I like a low-fat yogurt and a banana. That’s plenty carbs and protein for me pre-workout, and it doesn’t cause cramping. After, I drink whey protein drinks as they metabolize the nutrients almost immediately where food takes a few hours.
i weigh myself 3-4 times per day, and would feel lost if i didn’t constantly know my weight.
my BMI is 18.5, which means i’m classified as normal.
as far as food goes, i have a low-calorie dinner, and sometimes i might have a cup of soup for lunch, but i prefer to go without.
i can’t stand eating, i think it’s really pointless, and i get embarrassed about it easily.
i wear a pedometer, count caloried obsessively, and try to walk as much as i can.
i can’t stand looking at myself in mirrors, because it upsets me to see what i look like. i often end up avoiding them or covering them up with stuff in my house.
what do you think i should do ?
I am 12 and I really want to be more healthy and fit. I drink 3 bottles of water every day and I do streches sit-ups.I eat fruit and granola bars for snacks.I watch Fittv and Discovery Health channel.I weigh 77 pounds and I’m 4 ft 8inches.
I am quite conscious with my weight and with history of high-blood pressure running in our family, I resort to food diet and exercise. I looked up in the internet about cereal oatmeal such as “Nesvita” and came up with item about genetically-modified soya bean and according to this article there is nothing wrong with this component. Is there any other news article I still should know?
