Net Calorie Calculations???????????

I am just interested, not sad!!!! What is your net calorie intake. Ie, calories verses calories out. e.g. calorie intake 1000 per day. To live (as per fitday) you use appox 2000 cals per day. So with no additional exercise other than your body functions, your net calorie will be minus 1000. So what is your net calorie calculation per day? If you really want to, you can then work out (according to the math stats, although if you've got a body like mine it may not follow the rules!) how much weight you should lose, as somewhere I read how many calorie sit takes to burn up 1 pound of weight, although I don't have that info on me, but I'm sure someone will

I don't feel my body works like many peoples, i think those years of dieting, starving, binging and purging have ruined my metabolism so i am on a different "cycle" then many but as long as the scale goes down i am ok with it....more like creeps down but whatever. I never was a "big loser" and i never will be but i've got slow and steady all geared up. ANDI

My body dosen't follow the rule either because if what you say is true that we burn 2000 calories for no reason and I add another 1150 of exercise i should be losing 20 pounds per month. Of course that isn't happening. I beleive the amount to lose one pound is 3500 calories in which I burn every 2 days. Lorraine

I dont believe fit day is all that acurrate. according to mine I am suppose to have an intake of 1350 a day for an active level lifestyle. To loose a pound a week I should have an intake of 1250 ( a minus of 100 cals a day). Is that accurate? I dont know. I do this on the exercise and fitness board each day. The concept of calories needed each day go by several factors. fat to muscle ratio, age, activity level etc. The more muscle you have the more calories you can eat cause the body needs more to maintain the muscles.. Like Deanna can eat 1300 calories a day and she still looses weight. she has a high muscle mass and works out every day. Our bodies are designed to store food in the way of fat. it is part of your structure from centuries of famine, etc. Because we have basically starved ourselves for the past year, I think we are all out of wack as far as calories in/calories out. I hear it does eventually level out and we will have a more normal intakesome day but there is the bounce back effect. Right now it just doesnt work for us. when I try to increase my calories (even though I am working out) I gain weight. In time this will turn around but I need to accept that this bounce back effect is gonna happen until my body gets use to the additional calories. When i dont eat the additional calories I get dizzy so I know I need to increase them, but the fear of gaining the weight back it tough. Now if you take my calories in and calories out (i put it on track today for you all to see) I will eat 1100 calories today. according to my RMR (resting metabolic rate) I need 1350 calories a day just to do my normal stuff. I am at negative 250 calories already. Now add in my exercise supersets- 250 cals burned Elliptical 40 minutes 500 calories burned Step areobics- 500 calories burned. Total 1250 burned.. now that gives me a negative calories burned of 1500. See what I mean. I should be dropping weight like crazy but its just not happening. Our bodies are still in like a starvation mode from the past 11 months so they just dont give it up that easily. It sucks. So now my question.. do you eat more.. stay where you are or what. If I eat more I dont loose.. i gain.. I know this is bounce back but man and I gotta give the body time to adjust to the increase in calories.. I cant take it.. what do you do.. Current weight 133/ current BMI 22.3/ current body fat ratio 21.4 this all plays a part in weight loss. remember the less you weight the less you burn.. so what worked when you where heavier doesnt work now that you are lighter. YOu gotta increase to keep burning the same amount of calories. did that make any sense to you..
