Assessments, calories, before and after 5/14/09
Yesterday I mentioned I was given a cardio program. That was after Metabolic Assessment Profile (MAP) and I dropped incredible $$$$$ for it! It gave me the following number. 1) If I lay around all day and do nothing, I still burn 1372 calories. 2) With normal daily life things, I burn 1784 calories a day. If I want to lose one pound, that is 3500 calories worth. So if my plan is to lose one pound per week, whatever intake (calories I from eating) needs to be deficient 3500 calories from normal daily life thing plus whatever I do exercising. 3) Jeff figured out for workout day, I can consume 1650 calories on workout days (counting on burning 600 calories) and 1400 calories on non-workout days. And he had break down of so many percent should come from fat, protein and carbohydrate. The breakdown for workout day is 45g of fat, 103g of protein, 206g of carbs. Now this is very hard to achieve! The little food journal I got (The Ultimate Pocket Diet Journal) has an area to have before and after photos. I am calling first half of summer, before my Summer II session starts, Phase I and took a photo of myself 5/9/09. Let's see what happens.
