I have been tracking every piece of food I take in this week and it's amazing how much easier I'm sticking to my calorie goals. When I say track, I mean I keep a record of everything. I bought a digital food scale and measure everything I use to make a meal. For example, my lunch today is a tuna salad, mostly. I measured every ounce of mayo and sweet relish I mixed in. When I get to my desk, I go on a fitness web site and track all the food I'm going to eat except for dinner. I can see where I need to adjust to either add or subtract. Like today, my lunch is under 300 calories, so I got room to add a little more to it. In the last three days, I've run a calorie deficit averaging around 675 calories. Right now, my daily calorie goal is still on the high side at 2727 calories a day. No, that doesn't include workout calories, that's the maximum my body needs to operate on a daily basis. Of course, as I get lighter, that number will drop.


ROCK HARD!! LIVE STRONG!!
