Accountability - Monday
Before Surgery: 214
Highest Weight: 240
Now: 125.6
Goal: 130
My resting metabolic rate was tested at 1680. This means that if all I did was lie in bed all day breathing and staring at the ceiling, and ate 1680 calories, I would neither gain nor lose weight. With even moderate activity that number increases. To lose weight, I need to stay beneath it, which I do-- considerably-- at 1200 calories per day. Eventually my goal is to get my RMR and consumption about even. As I approach my pre- plastics goal, I am slowly increasing my intake, even as my RMR decreases-- and eventually they will balance.
An easy rule of thumb-- if you want to generalize--- would be that to maintain any given weight you need to consume about ten times that in calories-- so if you are 140 you need 1400, and so on. To gain, increase it, to lose, decrease it and/or increase your activity level.
