Nikina70's Journal, 08 May 2020

Not sure what this spike is about. Possibly haven't been drinking enough water lately. Only managed two of my 50 min YouTube workouts this week so I'll hopefully do the third tomorrow and another walk with the pooch on Sunday morning. Last Sunday I did 4000 steps and it seems to have given our little dog so much energy that's lasted all through the week - she's crazy for a 15 year old!

Daily average calories came to 1660 last week so I'll aim to stay below 1700 this week again. Hopefully will return to the flat line again soon. Have a great weekend everyone!

remember that fluctuations are totally normal, even when you've been doing all the right things. does let it worry you too much... the whoosh affect will come by being consistent ♥️

Does everybody have a different amount of calories per day?  
08 May 20 by member: Roktin
Hi Roktin, I'm not sure if this will answer your question, but you can set your calorie target for the day in the app. I personally think the Fatsecret calculation is too high, but if you're happy to start there that is your choice. You can calculate how many calories you need using a calculator like the one in this link: https://tdeecalculator.net/ Or, a simple calculation is your goal weight (in pounds) x 12, which is recommended by a YouTuber named Jordan Syatt. I've been using that calculation since the end of last year and it's worked quite well for me. Alternatively you can just get a kitchen scale and weigh and log everything you eat. After a week or two you'll have a good of what your average daily calories are and then you can just deduct 500 calories from that amount and use that as your aim. I don't eat the same amount every day so I use the Reports button on the App, which shows you the total calories for the week and the daily average. That way I keep my calories low during the week when it's easier and have some more calories over the weekend when things like burgers, pizzas and flapjacks often make it on to the menu. Hope this helps! All the best on your journey!

I think it's this lockdown causing this metabolic change. In general we just not moving around as we normally do. Also the eating patterns and food types is although different. Even though more home cooked than fast food snacks.
