I've started using a food journal for the first time. I'm utterly shocked to find I'm eating 4000 calories/day. Bringing it below 3000 seems like austerity measures. I guess I'm burning 4000 calories a day since I've been maintaining my weight (alright, creeping slowly upward). My exercise journal seems to back up the 4000 calorie burn. It's nice to see from the food/exercise journals how small changes can tip the balance. (How accurate are the exercise levels BTW?) I invite everyone to have a look at my diet calendar and make suggestions. (1. Careful with the Macadamia nuts; 2. Peppers are deceptively high in carbs.)
Had my BMI and Body Fat % checked with one of those electronic gizmos. BMI is 39.1, BFP is 35%. This gives me a lean body mass of 167lbs. Obviously, the recommended goal weight of 150 is not realistic. 15% body fat would put me at 192lbs., so I'll round up and make it 195. (I'm 5'8").
