[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know for sure you are eating 1800 calories? Is this a guess or are you actually counting calories? It’s not uncommon to underestimate calorie intake while overestimating calories burned through exercise. [/quote]

I track calories via the Loseit app. I believe it to be mostly accurate because nearly all of what I eat is prepackaged and therefore measured. To clarify, my breakfast, lunch and dinner are small healthy meals but I do a lot of snacking of processed junk which accounts for most of the 1800 calories.

For example, for breakfast I eat yougurt (120 cal) and drink coffee (150 cal). The cofee has a shot of sweetener, two creams, and a pack of Splenda. Giving up my coffee how I like it is nonnegotiable. My diet/exercise routine is a series of negotiations. I’m willing to exercise to stay fit but not willing to give up sugar. The compromise has worked thus far, but wondering when it will stop since I’m in my 40’s and expecting my metabolism to slow soon. [/quote]
