Two Random Days pulled out of MyFitnessPal...
Day 1: (work from home all day) Breakfast: 10 oz Hazelnut Coffee + 2 TBSP Dunkin Donuts Extra Extra Creamer Lunch: Scrambled Eggs Dinner: 2 Grilled Hamburger Patties w/ Mayo, Mustard, Pickles, Tomatoes, & Lettuce & 6 oz. Steamed Green Beans Water: 68 oz Day 2: (out of the home most of the day) Breakfast: 16 oz Homemade Iced Tea (no sugar, no nothing) Lunch: Spinach & Artichoke Dip (shared w/ 1 other person) and Chicken Tenders (ate 5 of the 6) at Woodmont Grill (ate maybe 2 of the fries and a few bites of the cole slaw) Dinner: I was still pretty full from lunch but wanted a bite of something so I had about a few bites of homemade chicken salad. Water: 74 oz I'd say in a 2 week period, 13 days are like Day #1 and 1 day is like Day #2. I'm really striving to reach a point where I drink 100 oz of water a day. |

| For those of you who work out a lot, don't you find it makes you hungrier? That's my problem. I'm ok eating only 1500 calories without working out, but if I add in exercise I'm famished and end up eating back all that I burned off (and more). I actually gained 10lbs when training for a half marathon. |

| I'm 5'2'' and weigh 110lbs at 34 years old. I keep a food diary and aim to eat 1200-1500 calories a day. I eat what I want and never work out. I eat probably 300-400 calories of oreos everyday. |

If this is true why do you keep a food diary? That seems pretty heavily involved for someone who eats "what they want" and never works out. |

DP. I have counted calories for years, in order to make sure I get enough. Very low appetite, generally. |

I'm also 50, 5'4" and about 110. I have no idea how many calories I consume every day, but I feel like I eat a lot, I have a daily beer or glass of wine, and I never skip dessert. I am vegetarian, so I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and have a relatively healthy diet overall, aside from the desserts and alcohol. I'm also fortunate to have inherited thin genes. I walk most places, including to work, and have relatively heavy workouts that I love (running, biking, or a team sport) 4 days/week. Good luck, OP. I agree that your focus shouldn't be on calories but on eating an overall healthy diet and ramping up the exercise. |

I eat eggs or oatmeal for breakfast.
Protein-topped salad for lunch, or a sandwich made with whole grain bread and prepared at home. One afternoon snack...usually triscuits and cheddar or a string cheese or something small like that. No more than 150 cals. Dinner is something healthy-- Soup, chicken with brown rice/veggie, homemade pizza, etc. I will have a glass or two of wine or beer 3-4 nights per week. I'll also have a treat of some kind 2-3 evenings a week but I don't keep anything with sugar in the house--we go out and get the treat if we want it (peppermint patty, or a cookie from the local bakery, etc). I work out 5-6 days a week. A combo of running (3-4 miles a pop), vinyasa yoga, and HIIT. I only count calories when I notice weight creeping up but I can lose on 1400 and maintain on much more than that (probs due to exercise). I'm 5 foot 2, 36 years old, 113-115 pounds. All that said, I would be careful of being certain of your ideal weight #. It depends on your body composition and frame a lot. For example, I'm very muscular so 115 on me is pretty thin (a size 0-2) but another person might weigh 120 or 105 and look basically the same despite a different number on the scale... |

I don't workout a lot but when I do cardio, I can eat everything in site whereas with weight training, I'm often not hungry after I'm done. |
