hello
i've decided to start a new diary thread over in this part of the forum..
i was previously following the JUDDDD diet & have done several times but have decided it just isn't for me & i need to take a different approach.
i've decided to calorie cycle & document everything i eat during the week & focus on the total calories of those 7 days as a whole.
my problem is that when i slip up, i decide i have ruined everything and may as well carry on eating and eating..
well, i've discovered that looking at the week on a whole has helped me so much already! if i slip up a little, i just make up for it the next day or another higher calorie day and focus on my end target, not the days target..
so basically, working out my natural burn calories for a day came to 1800.
7 x 1800 = 12,600 a week
i want to aim for halfish of that, so i've gone for 6,200 calories
this weeks plan was:
Tues: 700
Weds: 800
Thurs: 600
Friday: 800
Saturday: 1500
Sunday: 1000
Monday: 800
so a total of 6,200.
if i ate less than planned, i've banked those calories for a day where i may need something extra and vice versa..
this is a long first post but i'm trying to explain my plan as best as i can really
i will update with more about myself & goals as time goes on.. but for this week so far here are my current results:
Tues: 489
Weds: 856
Thurs: 611
Fri: 1084
so currently on track overall, just a little over by 140calories week to date.. not bad at all if i say so myself!
will be updating with my actual food diary almost daily in future but this is a kind of muddled intro that makes little sense for now
also i will be changing the break down of my daily goals week by week to suit that weeks plans! more calories for the weekend this week as i'm off work and having a treat with the boyfriend
