Getting to grips with my last ever diet!

by Romany05 on 26 Mar 2013, 16:09

Although I am just starting my 2nd week, I thought I better review all my research and add all my details to a blog, as I was just calculating the diet as and when I found other details!
Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) calculator
Age 48
Start weight 93 Kilo, 14.654 Stone or 205 pounds
Height 5'7" or 170cm
Result - 1808- 2259 Calories per day

As I am following the ADF diet, this meant that I would have a 1/1 routine . so in effect one day 500 calories and the next 1808- 2259
Then I entered my details on MyFitnessPal and they said I should be on 1230 Calories per day.
Taking 1230 cal per day, x 2 = 2460 cal for a 2 day group
2460cal - 500 cal = 1960 which equates to 500 cal fast day/1960 feed day which is in the middle of the target.
I am managing to keep to around the 500 calories for a Fast day. I would never choose to do this, but it is getting easier each time and the hard work is paying off.
I have much more of a problem on Feed days! Because of different diets in the past, I find it difficult to judge calories, So the 'eat normally' is very challenging for me. So I am taking full advantage of MFP and logging everything I eat, on all of my days. At the moment on a Feed Day, my calories can vary from about 1300 to 2200. So I will need to work on this more (and can see more blog entries for this!! LOL)

I have also just realised that I will need to keep re-evaluating my TDEE as I lose weight. So these are my new stats.

Age 48
Week 2 Weight 89 Kilo, 14.0151 Stone or 196 pounds
Height 5'7" or 170cm
Result - 1762- 2203 Calories per day
MFP has my daily calories now at 1200 per day which equates to 500 Fast/1900 Feed
