Burn Meter Question - not enough calories consumed yet


Quote  |  Reply
Hi! I am new here too. I love this site but I am still getting the hang of it. This is day 5 for me. Curious, I have consumed 1140 calories but my burn meter is at 1910. Amazingly enough I am not hungry but do I still need to add 300-400 calories to get to within the 500 calorie deficit? Never dreamed I'd tell someone I am not hungry! Wink

Hi - I'm not hungry either!!!!!!  I am new to the site today so the burn metre is also confusing for me.  Today is my first day counting calories, but I've been changing my eating for over a fortnight now.  I've been eating a lot of fruit, vegetables and fish each day.  I think the other big thing is that I am drinking twice as much as I normally do.  For the last week, I've been making up a jar of iced tea with a dash of diet cordial. 

I think that if you are not really hungry then you shouldn't eat.  But every thing that I have read suggests you should have 5 - 6 small meals per day. 

I admit that I have also been using a low GI diet shake twice a day.  This has been really helpful as one of my biggest problems has been that I can't control my portion sizes!  After a few weeks, I will cut this down to one a day.
