Do you even know or calculate or at least estimate how many calories you consume in a day?

How many is less important than what they're made of.

You can eat 5000 calories of just meat and eggs daily and lose weight but eat 2500 of carbs and gain.

Metabolism plays a significant role as well.

Obviously the old 1000 a day plan works, but only because you are actually starving your body into consuming itself.

I've switched to mostly proteins and fats with some green veg and almost no carbs this year. My weight is stable but my body shape is changing and my fat is dropping. I'm expecting to actually gain weight but be significantly healthier.

I'm diabetic and an amputee. I have early stage kidney disease. I'm joining a gym at the end of the month under doctor's guidance. Weights and the treadmill. Maybe swimming later.

[itsannalee]

I didn’t ask that.
I ask if people know how many calories they take or at least estimate it.

Other than that, about how metabolism works, or people losing fat i understand so clearly.

[DJB72]

I eat about 3000 a day. But it's as meaningless as the BMI numbers.

BFP (Body Fat Percentage) is a more reliable figure. Using his BMI figure, Dwayne Johnson is morbidly obese...

[ohsheeT]

No but I kind of wish I did I never ever really worried about it because my metabolism burns up calories so fast I mean I think it even Burns it up when I'm sleeping I'm really really toned and in good shape and I work hard so I mean it just you said that I have to eat like four maybe five times a day

[Apple1996]

Nope I just eat whatever because I'm breastfeeding

[Bklynbadboy12]

That's my secret fetish well I guess it isn't a secret anymore

[Apple1996]

@Bklynbadboy12 lol really?

[Sonorous]

Yeah. I track everything I eat & what I weigh everyday so I know that based on my caloric entry data & weight fluctuations, my metabolism is around 2,250 to 2,300cals on average.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yep, it's good to have somewhat an idea of how much consumed a day, keeps a mf sane lol

[glennos89]

I ain't got a clue. Luckily I have a fast metabolism so I'm good anyways

[TallAnon]

Yeah, I have roughly 2000 a day, which leads to a minor deficit.

[HungTexan]

I used to keep up, but not anymore.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Nope I don't I just work out

[exitseven]

Yes, I know how to do that.

[Sabrina_Caleri]

Its not that difficult

[itsannalee]

I didn’t ask if that difficult or not. I asked do you even know how many calories you consume, or at least estimate it or not.

[Sabrina_Caleri]

I meant that i do It regularly and i dont find It difficult

[itsannalee]

I know that’s easy, but some people don’t even estimate and just keep eat what they can grab.

[CubaPirate]

Nope 🙅
