Do you eat your burned calories?
I would ask this on H&F, but I know what they would say. So realistically, do you always eat your calories burned? I realize some of you distance runners have to, but I'm talking like 300 calories burned.
I have to change something up somewhere because I've hit a plateau. I can't imagine eating less than I am now (around 1400 calories) so I figured I would stop eating my calories burned since I only burn around 200-300 a workout.
Would that work or do I need to eat less?
Re: Do you eat your burned calories?
This is confusing to me.. if you do the same walking and eating every day, that means you have X "net" calories per day... whether you call it eating fewer of your burned calories or lowering your total calories... the math is the same.
I guess it seems like you are asking if eating less would help you lose weight, which is practically rhetorical. Being resistant to change is fine -- but expecting your weight to change at the same tiem is living in fantasyland.
Absolutely not. I think they are in a giant circle-jerk and no one wants to admit what they really ate/did. Either that or they have serious eating/body disorders.
I think the bolded.
Jenhap, I realize that its eating less calories anyways, but its all a mind game with me. It always has been, my mind is the big thing that's keeping me from actually running. I've made the lifestyle change, Im doing everything you're supposed to do, I just need a little push. Hopefully burning calories and not replacing them, but still eating what I normally eat, is what does it.
When I first joined the Nest, I drank the H&F kool-aid & let me tell you: that board is DANGEROUS. They essentially condone orthorexia. The whole attitude towards newbs with misguided questions makes me sad. Instead of trying to help, so many of them belittle innocent questions. It makes me sad to think that here's a person.. reaching out for help & that's the response they get. It's hard enough to ask for help, especially regarding something so sensitive as weight. It's bothered me for a long time, hence why I rarely post there anymore.
This is one of my biggest gripes about that board. It's sad. Sometimes they can be pretty supportive, but it's hit or miss. It's just crazy to me about how they can preach about BMR's and eating more on high training days, blah, blah, blah and then I see their eating logs and they are MAYBE netting 1,000 calories. There's a regular on there that I often notice this about. She's already extremely thin and she's talked about breaking down to her husband b/c her body isn't where she wants it to be. It all seems very borderline eating disorder.
