3 hours to birthday dinner and already had a 1000 cals
Aug 01 2006 16:41

today i have been posting my stats onto the Calorieking database that i have, i am running it alongside CC. according to its update on my intake / burned ratio of cals it says...you have recorded 194 cals on this day (subtracting 1036 burned from 1230 eaten) your target was 2000....so i guess that i can afford around 1300 cals at my meal out later. i dont think that the calorieking database allows for an amount of cals burned allowance like cc does, in my case around 3000

at present have had 16% fat 14% protein and 70% carbs

would imagine that a chicken based meal would be best tonight so as to up the protein

what say you my friends?

Yup, plenty of protein! 20% is probably a minimum for you for optimum health, and more that 35% has its own health hazards, but that 20% to 35% is a wide target. Chicken sounds great:)

By the way those calorie numbers were really confusing - I hope they made sense to you!

Firstly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Secondly, yes, I agree.. something protein based is good :)

Enjoy your birthday and remember, on your birthday, birthday cake has 0 calories! :D

I say 'Happy Birthday', as well. And can make no comment about birthday dinner food choices - some days are just 'C' days!! Peace.
