Hello all -
Just interested to know what kind of diets everyone has compared to what distance you all do each day.
I'm trying to drop a few pounds (already lost 25 lbs in 2 months!) so I'm strictly monitoring my intake and output. Something seems screwy, though, because I'm not seriously limiting my intake, but I'm not having any problems staying below 1500 kCal/day... I want to keep losing weight/fat, but of course I don't want to be shorting myself and doing damage to my body...
The other odd thing is that although my calculations have me at an average of 1400 kCal/day, and an output of ~3100 kCal/day, but my weight has pretty much stagnated at 175lbs. I guess that is just because I'm building muscle, which is adding weight, but still losing fat....
I'm 30 years old, 175lbs (now), 5'10", and I swim around 2500 SCM/day.
I'd be very interested in anyone's thoughts... What is your intake like? Do you stay away from or try to stick to any types of foods in particular?
Thanks!

I also eat pretty much whatever I want whenever I want ... However, it is not wise to go below 1,500 cal/day. Try working out a bit more, adding more interval type workouts in maybe ... your body has an ideal weight (for some it is more that others) and it will pretty much hit and sit at that ideal weight unless you do something dramatic to alter that.
By dramatic I mean sit on your couch and eat bags of chips and gallons of ice cream and never workout or workout non-stop and eat really, really well ...
Make sure you are eating healthy, moderation is key, deprevation will only lead you to over eat.
Good luck!
