Ugh, yesterday sucked.

Egg cup, lara bar, bar association conference lunch (salad, some kind of hotel chicken with creamy sauce, roasted potatoes, sauteed cabbage and a mini custard), chicken sausage and roasted tomatoes for dinner, about ten black olives.

conferences always get me off track, wish I could cheat with GOOD food instead of hotel or airline catering.

So around 1600 calories, and a solid 1 hour workout. This is a typical day - though one or two days I hit 1900 calories. (I track what I eat, and measure my food) I work out four days per week. I am overweight - 6', 215 pounds.

So is this a maintenance diet for you or are you losing weight with this intake?

Losing, but very, very slowly - five pounds over the last three months.

I just wanted to post an update. I'm the slow-losing, 1600 calorie eating poster. Six weeks ago, I started using myfitnesspal, and saw the group "Eat More to Weigh Less". I thought it was crazy. I now average around 2000 calories a day, some days as high as 2300. I rarely go below 1900 (about once a week). I work out 5 days a week, burning off about 3600 calories per week (I use a HRM to calculate.) And the weight is dropping. I've lost a pound a week the last 6 weeks, as opposed to the snail's pace of weight loss I was at before.

I'm convinced that eating less just kills your metabolism, makes you sluggish and makes you burn even less. My workouts are better than ever, and I am in even better shape than before.
