Rebel's Diary

No foods to list today. Ate dinner at a buffet and that was washed down by a large amount of absinthe.
I made the best choices i could on food. Afterwards not so much.
Stopped thinking and started drinking.
 
I used 5 different bmr calculators. They dont agree
2689 3527 4197 3002 2990

Ill probably stick with the 2990. Its the one on my calorie counter app

If you are not lazy, maybe try to fill all the data in the formula yourself (using Harris-Benedict Formula):

1) At first calculate BMR:
For Men:
BMR: 66.5 + (13.75 x weight in kg) + (5.003 x height in cm) - (6.775 x age in years)

2) Then add your activity level: to determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:
  1. If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
  2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
  3. If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
  4. If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
  5. If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9
3) and from the result you should subtract 10%, 15%, 20% or 25% depending how fast you would like to lose the weight.

I have used this Formula now and in the past and have found out that it is the closed to the truth. :)

I like that, but I would add that a deficit of more than 1000 kcal/day is usually hard on the body. It´s normal to get stuck a bit after a huge drop. Glad to see you were just frustrated a bit and not really contemplating breaking your body. :grouphug:

Decent/regular sleep is important both for weightloss and basic brain chemistry so I hope you find a way.

Honey, you're starving yourself. Even eating 2500 kcal of hotwings would serve you better. I know I'm :beathorse:here and I am not a doctor but I'm getting worried here. You might even have more energy if you started eating again.

Been following the thread and your journey @Rebel lee, seems like you've been making some progress. You can't give up now!! You've been so persistent and the biggest breakthrough could be just around the corner!

What has your meal plan/eating been like these past couple of weeks? Are you drinking enough water/fluids?

Hey kelli
Just been eating foods that are as unprocessed as possible. As a result most of my foods dont have many calories.
As far as water.... Hate the stuff. Maybe its the city water. It taste like you dipped a glass in a swimming pool. I was raised on well water. Its a huge difference. I do drink alot of tea and coffee. So i get plenty of water.

About the water thing: people here will dilute any kind of juice with 50% water (fizzy or otherwise), maybe that could help you get used to less strongly flavored/sugary drinks? I´m not a juice drinker personally but when I can´t avoid it it makes me awfully thirsty, possibly because of the sugar content. Same with (black or green) tea.
