Calorie rant
Everything is so damn packed with calories. Went in to presentation today they had pizza and cookies. I thought I did good only had three slices of pizza (pretty small slices on very thin crust) and two cookies. Much much less then the rest of the folks. After calculations it came out to about 1000 calories. Assuming I didn't under estimate on cookies. Their diameter was about middle finger length (almonds/pecan cookie, and chocolate chip cookie). :notamused: Worst part I am still hungry! Somehow I manage to cram more food in, and feel fool when I cook food. Every time I go out or have free dinners it seems like I have to have 1/3 my usual portions, and I still get more calories! heh. Damn I should start avoiding these free lunches.

Yeah, it's amazing how calorie dense some of those foods are. It's so easy to think "oh I don't have room for that healthy food" (which happens to be 200 calories) but then you eat a few cookies instead and they don't even fill you up, but a few cookies could be 600 calories. What a crazy, mixed up world :)

Crackers are the worst.

eh, just ride more. don't bother counting calories - not a happy way to live.
sad. here people try to restrict the amount of food they consume. others elsewhere can't get enough... |

Also get the book, "eat this nor that" and it will show you how to cut calories while eating out. You can get a Double Cheeseburger and small fries from McDonalds and only consume about 450 calories for lunch and it costs you a tad over $2. Add a bottled water and you don't waste calories with soda. |
i suppose it also depends on who you are, and how your body works. i have a really fast metabolism. if i'm hungry, i literally start to get chills.
i'm not as intense as other riders here, but i do bike often enough. i cut lawns for summer job, and i used to do weight lifting while attending school. during weeks like that i'd consume between 4000 - 5500kcal a day. i'm 5'8", weigh 125lbs now (lost weight from stopping the weight lifting). counting calories seems pointless to me, but i'm sure it's a big deal for those with slower metabolisms. |
