5 is a magic number

Let's get right to it.  Today, I spoke with the registered dietician at work and she made some suggestions.  She said that the massive reduction in calorie intake is probably why I gained weight this week.  It's called starvation mode... Apparently, to maintain my physique as it is, I need to consume around 4,000 calories a day, twice the suggested limit, which is what I went to immediately.  She suggested raising my goal to 2500 and see if that helped.  So, I did.

Today I consumed 3106 calories, burned 665, for a balance of 59 under.  Not bad, considering I had two bratwursts for dinner.  Pork sausage products are delicious but very calorie heavy.

I would post more, but frankly I'm exhausted from a long week and would rather relax.  Maybe I'll even go to bed.

The Grand Tour by George Jones (probably the saddest song ever)

  1. also if you are eating a lot of low calorie snacks- most are high in carbs. Stick with clean foods/snacks like l/f daily, nuts, fruits and veggies and lean means and fish. CARBS ARE KILLERS but carb free is not healthy either. Good carbs!
