Hi Greg-
I couldn't get that to paste correctly.
I was getting so frustrated with my slow weight loss, so I wanted to see how much I was consuming vs. how much I was expending. I don't eat a lot, and not a lot of junk (I don't like chips, donuts, ice-cream, etc. and I'm not a binger type that will pull out something and just eat it all), but my downfall is
soda (2/day).
Anyway, I found that I was consuming, on average, 1000-1200/day, but expending about 600 calories in the water for a workout. And actually I was also running, doing p90X, etc. So on some days I was actually expending more than I was consuming.
I figured out my exact calories by getting a HR monitor that also counts calories burned. This showed me that my treadmill is WAY off. It says I burn more than I do.
Anyway, my point to all of this, is that while those types of websites are helpful to a degree, the best way to figure out your calories burned is to get a monitor that will do yours for you.
If you want to know which one I got you can PM me :D
PS Since January, I have seen a nutritionist, who told me that I don't eat nearly enough. She told me that she was amazed I could function at all, and that my body was starving and storing fat. Nice! I'm working on eating more, but it's hard to do when I've told myself for so long, "don't eat this, don't eat that." The battle rages on with 20 lbs to go :blah:
