Daily note; Simple math supports my plan, here goes. If I take in a net 1,400 calories per day after subtracting for my daily workout, I am taking in 1000 less calories per day than the 2,400 calories the USDA MyPyramid says man of 55 who exercises 30 minutes a day burns. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. Theoretically I should lose approximately two pounds per week, or 8 pounds per month.
5:00 am Muscle Milk Light, 8.25oz 150 calories.
8:00 am Breakfast Burrito 270 calories.
11:00 am Protein Shake made with non fat milk 150 calories. One tbsp Crunchy Peanut Butter 100 calories.
1:00 pm About 1 ounce of Trader Joe's Edamame Crackers. Seriously about 80 calories.
5:00 pm Home made Chicken Soup w/yellow squash, mushrooms, garlic, onion, celery, made with low sodium chicken broth. I ate a big bowl and it probably came to 250 calories.
8:00 pm Peanut Butter 1 tbsp 100 calories.
Decent gym workout, worked many muscle groups but left some pushing exercises for tomorrow. 250 calories burned est.
1,000 calories consumed - 250 burned = 850 net calories consumed today.
* Not an optimal amount of calories today but I am consciously trying to alter my metabolism for a day or two. In fact today I had more energy and accomplished more than any day in weeks.
*Diet info fact; You burn 2,000 calories per day if you are a 27-year-old woman who is 5 feet, 7 inches, weighs 135 pounds and exercises for about 30 minutes a day, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's MyPyramid website calculates. When you reach 55 years of age, you only burn 1,800 calories even if you keep with your exercise regimen. You burn 2,600 calories per day as a 27-year-old man who is 5-feet-11, weighs 170 lbs. and exercises 30 minutes per day. When you reach the age of 55, you only burn 2,400 calories per day.
