So this one is for you Ann :)
I'm trying to decide how many calories I should be eating in a day. I started on the Slimfast 3-2-1 plan on Friday 12/31. Three days later I added Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. I do minimal activity during the day. Usually some laundry, light household cleaning, and taking care of my almost 4 year old while my oldest is at school. I'm not sure exactly how many calories I burn doing the shred or for that matter what my resting metabolic rate is. I'm doing ok with the 1200 calories and only getting hungry when its about time for my next snack or meal. I should probably add that before starting this, my daily eating habits were horrible. I would not eat breakfast and usually not even eat lunch. Then I would literally pig out and be miserable at supper time. Here is what my intake looked like yesterday:
Breakfast-
Slimfast shake 180cal
Morning snack-
9 baby carrots 35cal
2Tbsp hummus 60cal
Lunch-
Slimfast shake 180cal
Forgot to have afternoon snack
Supper-
Chicken Breast 120cal
Multigrain pasta 150cal
Sauce 30cal
Evening snack-
Spinach salad
Spinach 20cal
Fresh mushrooms 20cal
Green bell pepper 20cal
Dressing 20cal
9 baby carrots 35cal
Hummus 60cal
Slimfast snack bar 100cal
Total calories for the day:1165
And I was full all day???
