UNCLE!
Yep... this is your area.. and the only person who ****** me off is ME (aside from Jon at least 4 x a day). lol
My calories aren't that low generally. Oh.. I have my days where I just don't feel like eating... but whatever I'm having for meat with the evening meal usually pushes the calories up. Especially the chicken WITH the skin (and I gotta roast that stuff stiff to shovel it in). I hardly bother figuring it out anymore cause when I see 1400 calories, I go into panic mode.
I don't take that many vitamins.... but I take what I think I need.
C, E (to boost the injured immune system), Chromium picolinate and cinnamon (for the diabetes), magnesium, b6 (neuropathy). Right now I'm not taking pain or anxiety meds.. still taking lasix and potassiumm and 5mg of crestor.
Blood tests every 3 months... they look at lipids, potassium, kidneys, liver and a1c.
What is this test you mentioned in the other post.. and where does one get it?
It's a way to test your resting metabolic rate (BMR or RMR). Basically you breathe into a tube while lying down, and they do an analysis of how much you spend calorically while at rest. It costs about $100. Then you know what you need to survive/thrive and live.
There are centers nationwide that offer this-- your local college might if they have a Kinesthesiology program. And you can check here to see who might offer them locally:
