My calorie intake so far

[Yasmine]

Ok, I've been really worrying these past few days. Now I know that because carbs have been introduced into my diet, my calories will obviously increase.

But can you guys have a look and tell me if they're too high?

Day 1: 429.25 calories
Day 2: 469.35 calories
Day 3: 693.49 calories
Day 4: 963.59 calories
Day 5: 954.03 calories

I think I might aim for 750 tomorrow , getting scared again

i'd say they are ideal Yas. When do weigh in?The scales will tell you, but you deffo won't have put on! Good luck!

 

[Yasmine]

I get weighed on saturday. I'm just really scared .

Are you sure they're ideal? I'm nearly in the 1000's

 

[SUPASLIMMA]

Yasmine, you are doing spectacularly well, good luck for the Saturday WI. :cross:

 

[Yasmine]

Thank you, I'm gonna need it heh

Once you refeed properly which you are doing, you should be aiming for 1000 a day Yasmine, anything under can run the risk of your body going into starvation. Have a look at the 'Calorie Counting Forum' I picked up a good few tips from KD - she is on the ball when it comes to calories etc.

 

[Yasmine]

It reasures me that you told me I'm eating right. I felt really guilty about the rice last night . So, should my calories be in the 1000's right now?

I guess I should start to get them up a little. How many calories should they be going up by everyday to make sure I don't go into starvation mode?

It's really confusing because of TFR and the gradual glycogen stores.

 

[kered]

just stick to what you are doing now, then after 2 weeks refeed, aim to be consuming 1000 calories then, but if you get to 900+ on refeed, its still ok, no worries about it.

 

[Yasmine]

Thank God!

I've been stressing like mad these past few days. I've been so precise with my food and have been editing my diary non stop when feeling bad.

 

[kered]

The first week, until you have your first weigh in is scary hun, its only natural to be a little stressed over it, especially after having had such a long time on TFR.

Is everyone counting calories

I had not considered counting calories but it this what I should be doing. I have no idea what a salmon steak is. Any ideas. approx 6ozs

 

[kered]

Not sure on the oz's converted to grammes, but I had salmon on 2 days, I think it was tues and wed its listed on my diet sheet.

 

[kered]

150g grilled salmon - 270 calories

 

[kered]

Just googled it, 150g is just over 5oz's

 

[matronix]

that seems high

Thanks
Will look up your diary. I have had salmon about 4 times and it does seem very high in calories.

Yeah I know, I'm just scared to death of gaining it all back. I will be so happy if I even maintained

 

[kered]

It is higher than the other fish I have been eating, but its one of my favourite fish. Maybe once a week will be the best for the salmon from now on for me.

 

[matronix]

Will try out other fish, though can't say that baked cod/haddock exciteS me that much. Suppose could try plaice or something. Have to jazz it up with spices etc.

 

[kered]

Try some smoked vietnamese river cobbler from Tesco, its just a little milder than smoked haddock - cheap too.

Is it as high in calories as salmon. Sorry just being lazy now as I know I can look it up somewhere, but you just seem to have these cals. off to a T.
