Lowered my RDI from 2100 to 1321 per WebMD's calculation based on my goal of losing 2lbs per week. I was thinking 2100 calories was a bit much for my height and current weight and I want this weight to come some what quicker than 1 lb a week. I'm waffling between counting calories and Weight Watchers....
My allowed WW points (32), I'm going to try this for a while to see what happens. How to calculate Watchers Points Per Day
Step 1. Determine how many points you can have each day.
Give yourself points for the following:
Female: 2 points
Male: 8 points
Nursing: 12 points
Age:
17 to 26: 4 points
27 to 37: 3 points
38 to 47: 2 points
48 to 57: 1 point
58 and over: 0 points
Add the points from the above categories.
Step 2. Weigh yourself on a scale. Take the first two numbers of this weight and add them to the points you have so far.
For example, a 38-year old woman who weighs 180 pounds would add 18 to her overall points for a total of 22 points. (2+2+18=22)
Step 3. Determine the amount of exercise you engage in each day. If you don't exercise, do not give yourself any points. If you stand for much of the day, give yourself 2 points. If you walk throughout the day, give yourself 4 points. If you engage in at least 20 minutes of exercise each day, give yourself 6 points.
Step 4. Add these points to your total. This is the number of points you're allowed to eat each day. All foods are assigned a point value based on their fiber content and the number of calories per serving.
Step 5. Research how much is included in a serving to ensure that you don't go over your points for the day
Having somewhat of a stressed day at work.....trying to get through it without that ever tempting urge to eat something. So far, I'm doing pretty good.
