I discussed yesterday that I should be having 40-60 grams of protein a day and I was between 32 and 70 each day, so I am actually fine. I did have a bean or meat dish everyday (that certainly helps). My lowest calorie intake was 1,222 and the highest is 1,945.Let's refer to some science to see if these number are alright. I am going to use the USDA's myplate.gov to figure this out. How many calories should I have? According to the chart I need to be having around 2,000 calories, and that is if I am not physically active (which I am, I biked 5 miles round trip to class today).
So why was I wondering about calories in the first place? I feel my diet is out of whack in the proportions of things. I am also considering ending my experiment early at 6 or 8 weeks as I am worried about heath risks and honestly I am sick of calculating how much everything costs every day. What do you think
It sounds like you are figuring things out for the project and that things are getting easier. I wonder if some of the not feeling well is partly detoxing all those preservatives and chemicals out of your body?
ReplyDeleteThe idea that my body has been detoxing is an interesting one? Could a detox last for 6 weeks?
ReplyDeleteProbably not for six weeks, but anytime you took a break I think would be a start over point
DeleteThat is an interesting way to think about it. Every time I eat something processed, my body has to detox again.
