Question for you low cal people

[Tbird]

And please don't tell me to go read the book. :rofl:

If I am going to eat 1000 calories, does it matter how many are protein, fat, carb?

Here is my Fitday breakdown for today.

Calories Eaten Todaysourcegrams calsTotal: 998 Fat:38 grams Carbs:60 grams Fiber:16 grams Protein:100 grams.

Also, if I can have 20 points if I do WW, does that translate to 2000 calories? :eek:

Thanks

No. See the thread in Low Cal Nostra which explains the felx point plan. If you have lower fat and higher fiber, your cals are much more than 1000 -1200. If you had zero fat and zero fiber then 20 points is 1000 cals. BUT you get, 35 additional points to spend anyway you want throughout the week AND you get whatever points you earned with activity points. So, if you actually exercise, and used a daily set amount of flex points and ate no fiber, the MINIMUM amount of cals a day you get is 1350 cals. If you eat higher fiber things (most non starch veggies are 0 points because of the fiber) you could eat 1600-1800 a day and still lose.

I also shoot for 2 dairy a day, at least 6 veggies, and I try and keep my total protein grams to 1/2 my body wieght.

You aren't eating enough - according toyour fitday totals.

[Galatea]

According to your totals, you ate about 19 points today. You have used no flex points and haven't accounted for exercise.

[Galatea]

Also, I eat about 20 pts a day right now and don't use my flex or activity points as I need to fit into some of my suits. However, I am usually in the 1200 cal range on those points because of fiber and low/no fat.

[Tbird]

That sounds pretty do-able. I had a fair amount of fiber today, I had flax cereal for breakfast. I rode my exercise bike, but only for 20 min.

Galatea, have you found your clothes are getting looser?
